Both incredibly exciting years. This feels better.

The next 6 weeks will impact my world for the next 20 years, one way or another.

It is just the way it is. No one knows what we have lived through. No one other than us faithfil can appreciate what this would mean to us.

The 87 side were good and had heart, but this side is so much better.

And there were better teams, as opposed to this year.

In 87 as far as I can remember, I was just a kid. We came flying home at the end. This year we have been pretty consistently dominant and have about 5 of the top 10 players in the league.

I’m gonna tear up, thinking of how that season ended at Arctic Park. Such a desolate place, people devastated and in shock, like a goddamn funeral.
Was a great ride though, which started well before the finals of course. So much emotion and goodwill for Robbie. Northey had ‘em whipped up into a frenzy. I’ll never forget those two winning finals. 23 years of no finals and then - bang - two absolute thrashings, relentless and remorseless, with supporters baying for more blood!
