Anyone else *!*!*!*!ing exhausted?
I’m on maybe 3 hours sleep. I haven’t been that wired since 2016 PF & GF.

I'm struggling with the fact we are in a PF and we can't go.
The curse is dead.

I was so exhausted from watching the game that once I'd read to the kids for a few minutes I was stuffed and completely crashed.

This is a cruel fact isn’t it. Let alone potentially missing a granny.

The last quarter was up there with the 2016 prelim in terms of sustained torture.
Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.

Despite my posting, I’m usually pretty calm. But 4 minutes out, I started pacing. I don’t yell either, but folks in Sydney and Melbourne would have heard me. We are usually on the wrong end if these results. To be on the good side, was exhausting and electric and when I was looking for a promised hug from EW he wasn’t even in the state.

Aren’t chefs essential workers? Surely there’s a restaurant near the AO that needs a gun chef…

Re: Anyone else *!*!*!*!ing exhausted?
It was a draining game… just mentally engaged the whole time.
So glad we won… we battled our ass off and it’s so important to get rewarded with the ‘W’.
After being flat as a tack after Rd.23 it’s a whole new feeling now… let’s hope we get some luck on the injury front, but we know Port will be shitting themselves. They’ve had a dream run and we’ve been thrown all over the place…. But they know we’re coming for them. We’re riding the momentum train now and they’re next!

Our 9th Prelim since 1985 and the first one I won't be able to attend in person. So disappointing.

After the initial jumping out of my seat I sat back down and didn’t move for over an hour (even after the recording finished and the cinema screen went blue).
Time to work out when members tickets go on sale- it’s going to be a mad rush to try to get some.

I stood up and paced in the lounge room all game. HR never actually spiked too high, which is a credit to my peak physical conditioning. Or blood pressure issues.

Surely your cardiologist banned you from watching our games for a while.

Re: Anyone else *!*!*!*!ing exhausted?
Yep. I stood and watched and paced most of the last quarter and rode most of the bumps,vmy legs are a bit tired this morning.. Didn't get to sleep until about 4ish because I was reading.
They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

Re: Anyone else *!*!*!*!ing exhausted?
I was standing at home for pretty much the whole final quarter. Was really nerve racking that is sure. 2016 prelim final vibes with this one.
