Gee it's gone slow!
Can't believe it's only Tuesday.
I reckon I have played the game out in my head about 200 times already (I liked the scenario where were level at 3/4 time & then kick 7 unanswered goals in the last quarter to run away with it) & it's driving me crazy.
Hurry up Friday!

I know! I am off work this week which is making it worse. Worse still for Saints fans having last week off. Hopefully the Saints players have already played the game in their heads 400 times and come in premeditating rather than being in the moment

Thankfully my line of work requires me to be outdoors for most of the time, so days go pretty quick for me. But any down time has me thinking about the game, and the butterflies come think and fast!

He's already signed apparently. Despite the fact a) hasn't spoken to the playing group or coaching staff, b) Is still legally contracted to the Sydney Swans and c) the dogs and swans can't do anything until trade week. But he has signed apparently.

Not a heap of down time during the day (working with kids ensures that!)... but check in when I get home each night to see what's going on in the world of FINALS FOOTY!

The beauty of being at uni is that during lectures, daydreaming and using your laptop is pretty much expected. I wouldnt want to let anyone down.

Been doing nothing but daydreaming of us beating St Kilda this week. I find we always win whenever I think of the game non-stop throughout the week, but we lose when I don't put too much thought into it.
Ive honestly been throwing up the idea of telling the boss I wont be coming in on thursday and friday, just in case I get hit by a bus, or a meteor lands on me etc. I've seen crazier things happen

St 07 - please keep thinking about the game non-stop, 24-7 until Friday night! Do not let us down....

Especially with no footy shows on Tuesdays & Wednesdays it kills me.
I watch 3 on Monday and then left high and dry till Thursdays.

I am hoping that because I keep dreaming of all the things I am going to be doing next week ie decorating the house, office and car - attend training, grand final parade etc - Then it must be a good omen and we are going to win on Friday night!!!!! Plus the butterflys in the stomach and the lack of motivation to do anything else that is not related to finals footy......

I have the same feelings as you guys.
It really is a stomach turning week. A bit like the Qualifying final week but more at stake. If we win, we are into a Grand Final(Most of us have never seen us play in one) and if we lose, it is the end of our season and we have to wait another 6 or so months to see our guys play again.
I am extremely nervous but at the same time enjoying the fact that I have something to be nervous about, unlike 12 other sides who don't. It's an anxious wait though.

I am off work today - Doctor said that my blood pressure has gone too high.
I have to go back next week for another reading - he said when I feel better.
God, if we win, it will go through the roof.

Very exciting time indeed. I am wearing my bulldogs jacket to work everyday now, i am try to expose our club/brand/recognition as much as i can. Think about the only useful thing that i can contribute.
Would love to attend the match this Friday to support the boys but ticket prices are beyond my budget at this stage. I have set time aside this friday to watch the game on TV with all phones and internet will be off so i or someone else cannot tell me the score.

Thats a very good point. I hate when it all ends for another year - Its terrible. If we lose then its another summer of waiting and wondering if we'll be good enough next year!
I stuffed up a couple of orders today daydreaming about the game:o.

All I can say is thank god we are playing friday night. One less day to wait. It's even harder when I have to explain to my 2 kids ( 3.5 & 2.5 years) that if we lose they don't get to see Aker for another 6 months, when that is the last thing I want to think about.
The kids think Aker & Cooney are both going to kick 5. I hope they are right!!!

This week has gone really slow for me too. I've found it hard to occupy my mind on other things this week which doesn't help. I've had visions of being at the Grand Final, of walking out of the MCG happy, of celebrating ... come on Friday night let's get it over and done with.

If you win the $5000 you'll be able to buy yourself a ticket to the game off one of the scalpers, sorry, I mean offical club functions.

I was ok until I saw the faithfull boarding the Flinders Street Train showing the colours with pride. I had my pump up mix on my ipod and just as well too. I had a Stkilda fan in a rush to get out of the station and trying to jostle for position and trying to cut me off. The competive nature came out in me. I thought to my self hell no not today am I going to allow a "Saint" beat me. I saw an opening an bolted for it I managed to beat the opposition out of the station with ease. Go dogs.

You'll probably notice that in the 'Dogs Day Forum' I posted some new articles about 3.30am this morning, just couldn't sleep.
I was watching Year of The Dogs until 2am this morning. And when it finished - I went back to the scene where Wallace sprays the boys after the Collingwood loss. Can't get enough Bulldogs!
Was even around at a mates place (who works match days for the saints!) - watching the round 17 clash at his place earlier last night.

What's worse is I am unable to exercise myself at the moment. It seems to make the nerves a whole lot worse when I can't actually push myself at all.
