Take all of that and then add the emotional investment of actually following them...it hurts my brain.
The game against Port in Round 23 last year is the perfect example of the emotional roller coaster we are on as Carlton supporters. At half time I was calling for a rebuild and Waite and co to retire, by the final siren they were my boys again and I was so proud.

I have no idea how we will go this year. But I do know that under Mick we are under the right guidance. And if all turns to crap, at least we will have an eventful trade period ;)

I ended up sitting ON a shelf above our fireplace. I was so freaked out I didn't know where to put myself.
Funnily enough, that was the game that converted my sister in law over to a blues fan.

Love it . Sitting on a shelf.

But I totally know where you're combing from when you say you were so freaked out you didn't know where to put yourself.

Pretty sure I gave my dog multiple heart attacks during that last quarter. She was petrified.

My parents were in Europe so my wife sent me to their place to watch the game as apparently my demeanor changes when I am watching the blues.

I was surprised my parents neighbors didn't call the police during the last quarter. Once that final siren went I was straight on the computer booking my flights to melbourne for the Richmond game. :thumbsu:

I get so worked up when I watch a close game, especially when I'm at home. I had to go outside once and watch through the window so I could jog around while it was on. I can't sit still.
I always go around to my old mans place to watch the game and mum refuses to be in the house when a game is on. It's either yelling in frustration or running around cheering and fist pumping at the top of our lungs :D

Wouldn't dare...
I was watching the game with an Adelaide fan who, for the first time ever, was cheering for Port. She hates Carlton with a passion at the moment (blames us for Walker's knee in Rd 5 too) - even came to the Elimination Final last year to barrack for Richmond. Made it all the sweeter to beat Port in the end (cherry on top).
