    That was pretty scary. I’ve felt a few earthquakes before but usually only powerful enough to tip a deck chair over. This was something else!

    The doppler effect as the sound of the wave passed through was pretty amazing.

    A deep earthy thudding.
    I'm at work on the third floor, never felt anything like it. Wasn't sure if we were supposed to evacuate or stand in a doorway!

    There's a video going around of a building with big damage in Melbourne. Crazy stuff.
    Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.

    On Chapel Street. I'm going to go there and do a burnout.

    The Media on finals:

    Week 1: This is the start of something great for Essendon


    Week 2: Lions desperately unlucky. Umpires cost them


    Week 3: Where to now for Port Adelaide?

    (I was living in Melbourne for those 3).
    2012 - H/S
    2013 - H/F
    (Was doing the AIS academy thing back then)
    2016.

    Can I just say that aside from the final siren going, the 2016 GF was one of the least enjoyable experiences of my life and I am very stressed out about the game this week. I 100% remember the tension of 2016 and now that I'm even OLDER than I was then seriously doubt I will be able to get through it without some kind of heart failure.

    I'm reading the posts (every 9.3 minutes - not much work getting done which is another problem) but genuinely have nothing of value to contribute right now.
    As a Full AFL Member since 1995 I have been to a few Grand Finals (23 in fact).

    1984 - sat in the Ponsford Stand as a nine year old, can still remember the noise when the Bombers got going in the last quarter
    1985
    1995 - Sat next to some older Geelong supporters who were crying half way through the second quarter ... not again!
    1996
    1997 - Felt numb sitting at the ground this day, we should have won the Premiership that year
    1998
    1999
    2000
    2001
    2002 - Aker, front and center. Always good to watch the Pies lose.
    2003
    2004
    2005 - Not the best game, but one of the most tense GFs
    2006
    2007 - Geelong redemption. Drought breaker. A lot of grown men crying that day.
    2008 - The noise late in the 3rd quarter as the Hawthorn fans sniffed an upset was incredible
    2010 - Goddard mark in the last quarter was right in front of us, eerie feeling at the end
    2010 - Replay
    2012 - Outside of 2016, probably the best GF I have attended, roller coaster of a game
    2013
    2014
    2016 - One of the best days of my life. Was surreal just sitting down and seeing the Bulldog logo painted on the ground.
    2017 - Another game with lots of grown men crying at the end of the game. You can't beat the drought breakers.

    I haven't been to many GF, because we were not in them, however:

    First GF I went to was 1972, Richmond v Carlton - mate was mad Richmond and wanted me to go with him. I was 16 years old, and looked 12. My mate bought 6 cans each from MCG Hotel (he looked 18) and we drank those standing up in the Old Southern stand. Funny thing is now I live above that hotel, which is our entrance to the main tower.

    Next GF wasn't till 1990 - my mate and I had Finals series tickets which included the GF that year.

    1993 - Corporate box, I was working in Taiwan but was back for holidays and someone arranged it for me.

    then of course 2016.

    I have never really been interested in watching other teams.
    I hardly even watch the Granny unless we're playing.

    Apparently this will be Comettis last game as a commentator. We all know what happened after his last TV commentated game.
