And I thought I was overreacting to the loss. It's only a game after all, some said.
The loss no longer occupies my thoughts as much as it did up until 3 days ago. But I'm still pissed off and ****ing angry. A chance to establish greatness was wasted. Scarlett's quote last year "We've let each other down too often, but it's not gonna happen at Geelong anymore" is still ringing in my ears. Some of the players, and dare I say it, even Bomber didn't show enough pain after the loss.
If and when I give up footy, I'll never barrack for any other team. But sometimes I wonder why I put myself through all this pain with Geelong. I'm still haunted by the same feelings I had in '89, '92, '94 and '95.
