I don't know what's gotten into Lewis

There should be a moratorium on judgement of what is said in this thread today. People are saying things they may not mean, myself included. Hold fire on attacking posters and remember that we are all hurting deeply right now.

I was. What of it?

How about 1 goal? And we'll walk off.

They are neither mentally or physically there today.

The psychological effect of this could be bad. Really hope not though.

A cool wind just blew through Fed Square. I hate that cool wind.

Walk off the ground now

2000 Grand Final revisited

Over before it started. Wow

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.
