What will it feel like?

[Kildonan]

This inebriated rant applies to the Saints as much as it does the posters own Bulldogs:

Arrogance is clearly abundant among those who support a team who has tasted success.

Any who have watched it in their lifetime do not understand what true passion is.

All those who support Fremantle, the Dogs, Melbourne and St kilda have an experience awaiting them that mere words cannot describe.

The feeling of such a victory can never be understood by those who have not tasted success. We await a feeling more beautiful than those who support successful teams. We await a premiership. To win one is something that only we perserverant supporters can imagine.

Having won one desensitises you to the experience. I would give anything, and I mean anything, to win one. You others will never understand that. You do not await perfect beauty. It is tainted by past success. I pity you

None who would not give their life for such a victory will ever understand.

Your arrogance does not make me envy you. It makes me realise that you will never experience what I hope to. Enjoy your eternal superficiality.

> you are lucky Geelong/Sydney supporters. You know what it truly feels like.


EDIT: I am severely intoxicated

So how will it feel?

What will you do to commemorate a St Kilda premiership?

How would you feel if missed out on tickets to the game?

How would it feel if we did another 1997 ?

Me and my Dad will cry with joy when the saints finally win it, and luckily we have connections to ensure we would always get a ticket to the GF.

Gangsta's post parallels my own sober thoughts a little too closely.

 

[Look2Me4Guidance]

Yeah I saw this post in Bay 13 and it stirred me up.

I have always told my friends that I'm not a greedy man, I just want to see my team win one premiership. That being said I have explained to my girlfriend and my family that if we did win it, I'd be uncontactable for a week due to excessive partying!

If we won the GF, I'd organise a meeting for all of the regular BigFooty Saints posters to have a few brews and watch the replay all over again!!!!!!!!!

 

[Armitage2Riewoldt]

Seeing as I'll be over 18 for every GF to come. Probably spend my bank account shouting random strangers beers, get severly wasted (but not so wasted that I dont remember it - that would be...really bad) and party alllllllll nighttttt longgg.

I guess Im thankful Im pretty young, got a lot of years ahead of me to see the Saints win a flag lol. Hopefully I dont have to wait till im in a nursing home to win one.

I saw it in 97 brother. I was 15 then and I'm now 26. It takes a while for them to come around.

You a fan of the jagerbombs?

 

[Speck]

The day when we win a flag will be the day in which I will feel my football life has been accomplished. It is my dream, my passion. If we win a flag, all the tension and pain of being a St Kilda supporter will be relinquished. 1 will do. 1 will do.

My mate, an Essendon supporter reckons its bad that his sides having a few years towards the bottom & how everyone gives him shit about it. Welcome to mine and most other St Kilda supporters lives.

 

[TassieSaint]

I cried as a kid when we lost in 97, and I think when we win my reaction will be exactly the same. I don't reckon I'd be drinking grand final day either, because if we did win it would be something I want a crystal clear memory of. My birthday is the week after the Grand Final, so I would probably commemorate by asking for every single piece of merchandise available as a present.

Must be served by a dwarf for maximum taste, haha.

 

[Ashb23]

I'll give you guys a tip. The win doesn't feel nearly as good as the pain the heartbreaking losses cause (if that makes sense).

I kinda felt numb to be honest. But you know when it truely hit home - when they raised the flag in the round 3 game V Melbourne.

Good luck guys, hopefully your pain will end soon enough, as all us cats fans has....

 

[ChrisFooty]

The pain of 1997 and the 2004/05 plem finals still hurts a lot. Even the 2006 final loss to Melbourne still feels very awful.

 

[geelong_crazy26]

us geelong supporters understand it from both point of views, in all honesty you want another won just as much after you win your first won.The feeling you get form winning a premiership is so good that you desire to have it again.Its like lots of other things in life once you get your first taste you want more

 

[CHBench]

I am a strong believer in everything happens for a reason, St Kilda possibly is never meant to be "winners" but, call me crazy, that's what i love about being a Saints supporter. Being starved off success makes that "day" which will no doubt come be sooo much more sweeter.
Seeing the Cats last year absolutely wipe the floor with the rest of the comp has restored my faith that every team will get their time.
And it seems the least successful clubs are getting their time. Sydney in 2005, Geelong in 2007, Bulldogs in 2008?

Don't worry people, our time WILL come.
No doubts about it.

Don't worry mate. It will happen again and it should. Enjoy it.

I cannot imagine how good it is to be a Cats supporter right now. Like i said before, the Cats time has come and it's up to them to show the competition how good they can be. No doubts in my mind the 2008 cup is yours i hope for your sake there are many more premierships to come.

 

[Armitage2Riewoldt]

Do you reckon if the team had won more than one flag, say we one every flag we'd played in, so had 5 premierships. That the hunger would still be the same?

I'd be happy that my team has actually succeeded numerous times, and probs not as hungry cos you know it will come around again, cos like, that would make it a flag every 20 years on average but when you've got one flag and think, 'wow we won one (theres a tongue twister) flag in 110 years, there's just a good chance we wont win one for another 50 years' it makes ya that much more hungry for a flag.

Personally if we won in '97 I'd feel kinda cheated, cos really I dont remember much frm back then, I actually think I barracked for Melbourne back then. Oh wait, I started barracking for saints in prep, so it woulda been in 96...good. All I remember is being sad. Probly nothing to what you guys felt though.

Lol, don't mind jagerbombs.

One of my mates who barracks for Geelong, lucky sod got tickets to the game said it was like the best day of his life. No arguments from me. A saints premiership I can already tell will probs be the 3rd greatest day of my life. (Behind getting married and having a kid - well actually.... )

Okey, Im just rambling now. off to watch the tennisssss

 

[Sir Robert]

I will bathe in beer at the MCG if the siren went and we were up!

I was only 15 in 97 as well, But I'd been going for the Saints for 10 years by then, and I was shattered seeing Robert Harvey getting tackled (never happened back then), and Jarman smashing us to pieces... I felt robbed!

 

[MilneyLoves2Snap]

If we do another 1997 i will most likely hang myself

 

[ChrisL#12]

That post should be preserved in a securely locked archive somewhere. How many Bulldogs supporters can spell superficiality let alone when they're "severely intoxicated"? Not many, if any. Well done by the poster, I can't even turn the computer on when I'm smashed.

 

[KnaveyBlue]

You'll all be dead by then. Me too probably!

You'd do well to instead ponder the pain that will come after Friday night's loss.

Look on the bright side though: At least you guys will be able to accept that the season is over, and your shot at a flag has passed.

You can get an early start on the rebuild in what will be the most important draft in some time. (or top up again, your choice)

Yeah nice.

Pity you guys get overexcited by beating Richmond.

We'll enjoy handing out another loss to your rabble.

Yes that day moved Adelaide down equal with Collingwood on my hatred scale. In 2005 I happened to be in Adelaide when we beat them in the final over there. I couldn't get a ticket to the game and wasn't brave enough to watch it in a pub. I proudly wore all my Saints gear on the tram the next day though, my mates asked me if I was tired of living. I could feel the daggers from crows fans eyeballs stabbing me!
