Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.

Last week I thought the slippery dewy ball was hard to clunk a mark. Naughton, normally a one grab fumbled alot, English couldn't hold on to any as well.

I started watching some Octocalls from that prelim (and finals series more generally) the other night, and time flew by very quickly.
Although it broke our hearts it did not break our will

God I remember the pre game in that weird area where the trains came out, then walking into that ground (greatest ground on earth) the booooooos when the giants came out to train, they ran out of beer, the guy behind me screaming we are in the GF we are in the GF (he had a radio) as I lifted myself from my head in hands nauseated affect.
Wow. Is it really the same game im not feeling it.

You can burn an entire afternoon looking at Al's Highlights of the 2016 finals series. Well worth doing so!

86% chance of rain at 9pm. It looks like we will get some rain during the game.

I remember a poor GWS supporter telling me their song is good because it was written by The Cat Empire. Highly doubt she's ever said that out loud again.

Haha. We had a GWS supporter next to us the entire night on his own.
End of the game I'm in tears, I felt bad I turned to him and extended my hand and said you guys have a great team you'll get there soon.
He replied :
I don't care.
Juxtaposition or what.

Hahahaha, legendary!
I have a theory there were paid actors/ ring-ins within the crowd that day. All signed CAs.
