I just don't know what to do.

I'm distraught. Nothing will ease that. I know I will survive, but today I feel emptied,... hollowed out, and there is nothing to fill the void. There is no next week. There is no learning from this week to build on...

If I feel this bad, and I am just a fan, how do the players feel?
All the staff, the coaches and the club officials who have a far greater sense of "ownership" than I do, how do they feel?

I'm proud. I'm proud of the club, I'm proud of the year we had. I'm really proud of the guys - they were fantastic.

I'm gonna try to sleep - but I doubt I will for a while.

Disappointed in some of the opposition fans and one or two of our own too.

I'm just going to blanket red card the lot of the mongrels and when I get home (Queensland) I'll jump on line and ban them from visiting our board ever again.

They say time heals all wounds....I reckon that's a crock, it doesn't. I still feel our last years GF loss as much as all the rest I've watched. I spent the week following last years loss in a daze. What helped was focusing on the future, looking forward to what is to come instead of what could have been.

Your side is a truly great one. It saddens me that you had to lose for us to win this year.

Take heart your boys did you proud and will have a fire in their belly next season that won't be quenched by anything less than than a win in that one last game.

Keep the faith:thumbsu:
 
Come on Aussie Come on... Come on...

Waiting for Boxing day... want to see Punter smash some Paki's around the G'... maybe some A-League as well... a nice sight seeing Archie on a run Goaling for the Victory...

Why stop pretending... Nothing better than Roo on a lead and making a captains goal :(
 
I haven't seen all the threads but we've gotta be gracious in defeat.

I think some of the wobbly knees are our fault with all the pressure we place on the boys (due to our own desires).

Hopefully next year we can keep everyone on the paddock and players like Goose, Armo and McEvoy can force their way into a winning Saints side and provide that bit extra that was missing today. It was just missed chances that cost us.

To avoid the pain / nerves I reckon I was hammered by mid way through the last. If we had've won I would have watched it again this morning to savour every contest I had forgotten lol.

There is no way I would have been able to be posting at 2am. Was out cold by midnight :)

The boys will be back next year and I truly believe all things going our way they will deliver!!!

GO SAINTS 2010
 
i downed a bottle and a half of Jim Beam last night while watching the storm flog the broncos to ease the pain....feeling the after effects today :/

I was the same, was on the turps at a BBQ most of the day. I'm living in WA too so the festivities started around 11am. By the last quarter I was pretty well Fevola'd, both to calm the nerves and either celebrate a win or insulate against the pain of losing.

Still somehow managed to get on here and make a series of idiotic posts by the end of the night, most of which I can barely remember making.
 
I have a heartache that doesn't go away(and it won't for another 12 months).. The only moment where I did not feel this pain was when my liitle 3 yr old (in his Saints jumper) came up to me and gave me a hug straight after the game, and said '' it's ok Daddy don't be upset ''.. It's a hug in which i'll always remember.

The problem is (which I gather most of you have) is each time you close your eyes, you can't stop thinking about what might have been coz at the end of the day ,you don't play in GF's all the time and then to dominate like we did, hurts even more...

Bad luck Sainters saw a few of my mates who were devastated St. Kilda supporters I really felt for them you had your chances too which would make it even worse on the other side saw a few ecstatic Geelong friends too who were on top of the world.

You had a great year and you should hold this year with some admiration at how they persisted and fought so hard all season that game plan they had wouldn't have been easy to execute week in week out there would be a lot of tired and sore players that gave it their all for the whole season, the tackling and frontal pressure was immense all year and Riewoldt marked himself as a true champion of the game and gained a lot of new admirers and respect.
 
I'm waiting for round 1 2010 to see how much we've learnt in the off season. And I'm going to turn up with the rest of the saints faithful and show the boys how flaming proud i was of them this season (and hope it's a GF replay like it was this year). I'm going to go to more games in 2010 and lose my voice more often.

And to paraphrase an author/movie/mod.... I'm going to see how blue the ocean looks in 2010 for the boys and over the offseason i'm going to hope.

We won't pull a hawthorn next year I think. We will finish top four again (with the dogs or the pies falling out and the crows coming in).

We went one better this year than last.

We will go one better next year than this.
