And the response I got from work

Hey Shibz; all this time I've seen your posts and never knew your name was Siobhan. You once sent me a very nice personal message on EFH (gee I bet they're quiet now) when we were about to have a baby.

She is now a bouncing 3 year old called Siobhan.

Wow that must have been a while back!! I haven't been on there in over 12 months. Tempted to give TP some though...although he did post in a fb post I think channel 7 put up and started posting links of premiership cups :/ he's odd.

Day 2 of the working week and I've still basically accomplished nothing because I keep thinking about football or stop to surf forums/news websites/etc...

 

[FyfesBoot]

Absolutely rapt that I'm going, but a little nervous about getting back. If I could just lock away return flights that the family can afford, I'd be in a very good place.

After seeing that Nicholls is umpiring our game all of my happy emotions have been replaced by severe dread and despair.

I'm conceding defeat on Grand Final tickets as I'm now resorting to entering every competition possible.

My main concern is Nicholls umpiring is a dampener but mixed with relief that umpire #30 isn't.

I'm surprised the AFL didn't put 3 anti-Freo umpires in charge

Nah , don't.

He'll be alright. It's his first final and the two senior blokes have taken part in well umpired Grand Finals recently.
Rosebury and Meredith controlled last year and Nicholls will be kept in line by the other two seniors.

I reckon we've done well.

That won't work considering Nicholls always acts like he's the star of the show, lost count of how many soft frees he paid in the first prelim on Friday and the bloke has a history of ****ing us over.

Having said that I like to think we're good enough to overcome shit umpiring this days, we were r*ped against Geelong and Sydney doubled our free kick count but we were in control for most of those games so we'll see.

 

[Freofalcon]

Have been sing the club song to myself all week and it struck me how the "If they get up, we do it again, Freo stop at nothing, nothing" really typifies our football. Take it into Saturday lads.

The fact we were first to the footy for the first 3 quarters probably contributed to that but I'm with you on the Geelong game.

 

[clivenator26]

No real nerves but have almost balled my eyes out every day since Saturday night. Picking up my tickets I was a wreck. Even listening to TNT had me taking deep breathes.

I know we may not win but I know we will have a crack as we have done the last 2 years. I've not questioned out effort since Ross took over. We are committed and ready to go!

I'm personally more confident going into the GF than the prelim.

Definitely not for mine - was confident we'd pump the Swans. This week I just don't know

Not confident in winning. I think just making it is such a great step for the club. I'm confident that we are going to be bloody hard to beat. If we get done then Hawks deserve it. Nothing to be afraid of IMO

 

[Twon82]

I'm experiencing the full range of emotions......i'm totally pumped we are in the GF but down because I can't go due to family reasons!!

 

[sansian]

I can't decide how I feel.

Sometimes confident we will take the whole thing and then the years of expecting a win and then getting spanked takes over and I get worried.

But as St K would attest, Premiership windows can close quickly. Cmon lads....

 

[Smotie]

I don't think you guys can win. I think the emotion of your first grand final will be too much to handle and Hawthorn will be out for a win after losing last year.

My thoughts anyway.

All class. I mean, out of the 50 or so threads on this board about the game on Saturday, you pick the grand final week emotions thread.

Anyway, I may or may not have a job next week, fair internet usage policy may have been breached. Thank god for smart phones!!

Fair enough - cheers.

Stats don't really back up your "thoughts" though

Check out:

Brisbane in 2001
Adelaide in 1997
Port Adelaide in 2004.
