This time last year

[Macca_]

Is it just me, or were you a lot more excited about the last year's Grand Final? Last year I was pumped and excited the whole week leading up to it. I know it's still early, but I'm not feeling it at the moment.

Don't get my wrong, I hope the Pies roll the Cats and I'm still looking forward to it, but I'm not as excited as last year.

Anyone agree?

 

[Magpie_Magic]

I'm feeling it more this time.

It's a chance to beat the best side of the past 5 years or so on the big stage.

 

[Bartel]

Yeah you get that. 08 I was definitely not as pumped as in 07, but as the week goes on you should start to feel the buzz.

 

[PiesFan87]

I'm still coming to grips with the fact that WE ACTUALLY WON LAST NIGHT!!

I think once the dust settles after the weekend, and brownlow night approaches I'll start to get that feeling.

Yes, I do agree with you. But I think that's due to the hawks game. Just the ups and downs in the game, really took a lot out of me personally (and I think that goes for the other supporters as well). Nonetheless, just wait for a couple more days and I'm sure the excitement will be there

I am pumped. I wanna play Geelong, to be the best you have to beat the best in the GF. Really looking forward to watching the boys play. I know they will play well hopefully its good enough to beat the Cats.

Maybe it's cuz were not coming off thumping the best team of late this time around and are a little bit sorer this time round...

Yeh, I agree. How great was thumping the Cats in the prelim! I was pumped right through that game and right through the week.

 

[Raymond Rougeau]

Ye it was ver special not that last night wasn't but to hunt and kill the best there is was amazing probably the best game our club has ever played (IMO but I'm only 29)

Same here - Can't Believe we won last night. Once Wednesday and Thursday comes around I should be into it - I Hope

I'm only 15, and the Pies vs. Cats game was the 2nd best game I've seen the Pies play. The best and most memorable game I've seen the Pies play was the 2003 Qualifying final when we beat the Lions

Same here mate - Can't Still Believe we won.

Once the Sides come out I dare say I start to fill it

 

[abs_of_STEELE]

Yep, I'm the same. Just a bit flat atm, but hopefully by Thursday/Friday I'll start getting pumped again.

 

[Shellz]

Last year was different but I've been feeling very nervous all day. Once I have my ticket in my hand I think I'll be worse.

I'm just in shock about such an amazing comeback last night. I was nervous on Friday (ask my twitter followers) and it's pretty much tripled anxiety and we still have days to go!!

I'm off to the GF Footy show, so I'll definitely be pumped up by then!

 

[Ed D]

Last year we were coming off a huge win over the Cats. Confidence was sky high. This year it's a lot different, and there are question marks over our form. Funnily enough last GF we played a rather strange game so I'm not sure it makes much difference, it's all about how we prepare this week and what the mindset is like going into the game.

 

[Adz]

A lot more excited in 10

 

[JOELY]

Was massively pumped last year. This year, I feel a bit sick in the guts about it all. I think I'm just frustrated by the injuries and the sore players. Just want a fair crack at it with two teams up and running, not one team tired and sore and the other flying coming off a training drill. If we get up it will be special, just incredible, but the nerves are getting to me a bit. Friday night left me a bit frazzled.

Having moved to Geelong 2 years ago this one will feel really special for me if we salute. My concern for this year is that we are limping to the line but I'm hoping we replicate Brisbane's effort in 2003 (and also help erase that bad memory).

It'll be nice to stick it up my neighbours especially one J Selwood who lives up the road from me

 

[lozza63]

This time last year I thought we were unbeatable! I felt that the Saints would rely on too few - look what happened in GF1?

This year I feel we are a better team overall (compared to 2010 version), and I totally respect the Cats as they are very even across the squad.

Very nervous, very excited, loving that we are part of it again - 4 times in a decade.

We have the "tools in our shed" to win this - GO PIES!
