Lamb to slaughter

As good a start as you could want as an Eagles fan.

2 hospital turnovers

Huge turnover

I love you all. As good as people come. I may not know you personally but you're all friends right now.

Only a couple of West Coast flogs here

Fed Square pumping. We're all set. Cheer with everything you got, whether at the game or watching miles way they WILL hear you!

Balls in throat

We’re all set now this is the one that matters. In the non MFC prelim final thread I talked about the Collingwood possibilities and how tough it would be but right now all that talk and thinking goes into the bin. One thing to focus on now and it’s this game. Starts in the middle as it usually always does. If we do our thing and win contested ball like animals we will be a massive chance, If WC break even in that area they will win. We must, must, MUST take our chances, that will be it. Joel Smith got the nod as we know. I want him to keep this game as simple as possible. Use his athleticism to get to as many contests as possible and punch the hell out of it. The one I have a feeling about today is VandenBerg. I think he might be about to turn in a memorable one. I feel sick, excited, nervous. The whole palette of emotions. I don’t think I’m ready for this but we’ll have to be. I need to say the following for myself because I’m finding it hard to think like this but what will be will be and we have no control over it. Footy is great but life will go on. Come on Dees, raise hell! Like never before!

Not saying anything. Will probably get lynched

Last night's game did nothing for me. Would feel a lot better knowing if we lost the winner was playing Freo or something.

In exactly the same boat.

Yep, it’s never fun going through a Grand Final week with Collingwood involved.

I lost track of whether you were trolling or being serious about 3 pages ago..

Get in.

Got absolutely no idea. Wanted to get a good nights sleep, get up reasonably early for a run and have a nice brunch. At this rate I might fall asleep at 5 and wake up on Grand Final day.

Yay, another thing to carry to the footy.

I’m screwed.

Oh man, I am not going to sleep tonight..

They always remind me of toy light sabers.

My thinking is completely in line with yours. This is a terrible result. Someone is bound to jump all over me for saying that. “Oh but playing Collingwood is our best chance of winning it!” “Bring it on” “You need to be more confident”. Heard them all and I understand it for sure. I desperately wanted GWS to knock them out. Under no circumstances do I ever support this team, not for a home prelim, not for some other dumb scenario that is meant to help us, not for nuttin. I am NOT one of those people that loves seeing Collingwood make a Grand Final so they can enjoy seeing them potentially lose it. As far as I’m concerned they should finish bottom every single year. I don’t know, I just don’t. A potential GF with them. If you wanted to come up with a way to give a reasonably healthy early 30s male a coronary, this isn’t a bad way to go about it.

Collingwood can win the flag, there’s no point pretending they can’t.
