When I wear cats merchandise I am more attractive to the opposite sex.

I've noticed alot of threads on this board are seriously grasping at straws as apposed to a month ago ;)
Whatever that means!!!

I'm just breezin' along with the breeze,
Trailin' the rails, roamin' the seas.
Like the birdies that sing in the trees,
Pleasin' to live, livin' to please.

Still euphoric - people treat me differently, I treat them differently. I'll die happy!

I work in IT, so that means that 99% of my colleagues are totally unaware of sport at all, therefore opportunities for gratuitious gloating are somewhat limited.

Doesn't diminish the enjoyment however. I'm intending to tone down celebratory drinks nights, but I haven't stopped yet. :D

Yeah I'm the same as you as in the people I work with. Where i work I have supporters for all the teams so I'm up against all the opposition..ha ha
It's so nice now in that the good supporters like talking about the footy & happy we won it & all the arrogant ones will not talk footy to me at all (they are the ones that would go on about how crap Geelong are).

What I have noticed at my work , is all the so called Geelong Supporters that have climbed aboard.
They were supporting other teams till Geelong slaughtered Port now they have posters everywhere celebrating our win.
Also the so called supporters who ridiculed Mark and the boys all year last year , are now aboard bragging how they have followed Geelong for years without a bad word.
Come on guys the true supporters in Melbourne go to the game, support the team with a membership and they are the ones who really deserve to celebrate.:thumbsu:
I AM PROUD TO SAY I AM A TRUE SUPPORTER ALONG WITH ALL MY FAMILY. AND WE ARE CELEBRATING BIG TIME. ;)

What's changed for me:

Well, a month ago I didn't have a stubby holder, beer mug, bottle of port (love having port bottled) and t-shirt with Geelong 2007 premiers on them.

Have to agree, at the moment I just remind them how much time and effort hubby and I have put into this club, for some reason they then go all quiet.;)

One month on I have a peculiar range of emotions. Sometimes I feel a deep sense of satisfaction; that the premiership that I have so longed for and worried that I would never see, has been realised.

Yet on other occasions I almost feel that "my job" is done. That the hours I have spent agonising over team changes from week to week or from season to season is now unnecessary. Whilst we are possibly on the precipice of a period of sustained success, I feel that the next premiership will not feel the same, infact no game will ever feel the same.

Hopefully it's just a case of post season blues. And anyway there is Derby Day and the Spring Carnival to look forward to. More work to be done!!

I can now gloat without anyone responding with questions of when our last flag was or any other generally derogatory comments about the GFC.

We are the best side and will be for the next 6 months at least and I'm not afraid to talk it up.

Well, I canceled the satellite subscription that allows me to watch footy live. Can't be arsed spending $15 a month to watch EPL ;)

Aside from that, not much aside from carrying the satisfaction that goes with following the reigning premiers.

yep I kinda feel like breaking the duck was great but we stiull have 2-3 years of unfinished business.

I'll never forget the feeling of this win but with the state of all the other teams and the strength of ourselves I reckon we have a few more cracks at it yet to come. I'm sure the boys at the club would feel the same as well.

Sorry just had to edit that little bit. The future should be quite rosy.
