Yes an amazing rollercoaster ride. One of the best games in our clubs history.

Re: Soaking it up all again!

The better half isn't much into footy so she can't understand why i'm still watching all our great finals wins overand over again after so many months!!
It's an obsession that every night whether it be on the bluray,iq,tablet or pc i can't not go without reliving numerous finals,highlights,different commentrys,octocalls or jumping on woof.
At least she knows not to disturb me while watching them all.
I try explaining to her that the sheer joy and euphoria of seeing my team who i've supported for 40 years do what they achieved this year after so many years of being kicked in the guts is the single greatest feeling that i have ever experienced.
Sure having kids is also right up there but it's a different kind of joy.
We've all had to put up with opp.supporters always putting us down for being nothing more then success starved supporters that follow a no hoper team.
Well not any #£%&ing more and it feels so god damn good!!

I get great joy out of telling a lot of supporters at least we have won a premiership this century or to Nth supporters that we have won a flag in each of the last two centuries.

Good on you Eastdog.

I purchased the entire season last weekend (20% off at jb hi fi). Plan to watch every game in order over Festive Season and through to when 2017 season starts. Although likely to keep re-watching/interspersed with the prelim and grannie. Even planning to watch the losses as it shows the (warts and all) journey to that first day in October. Watched first game against Freo night before last. Stringer, JJ, Caleb and Dahl played really well. Adams very good too, hope he changes his mind about wanting to be traded back to WA.

Wonderful to see different perspective on tv coverage compared to watching game live too.

Round 1 seems so long ago that I had forgotten bits of match too.

Still smiling while waiting in traffic jams etc. All the positive press and people's stories of what winning meant for them. As I'm not bitter says.....The gift that keeps on giving.

When people ask me "How ya goin'?" these days, I usually answer, "Couldn't be better. Bulldogs!"

I wonder when it will sink in?

Was watching the GF again yesterday. I reckon a really underated period is the opening 5-10 minutes. Sydney had routinely blown teams away in Q1 whereas we had conceded the first few goals in 2 of 3 finals and were the more likely to be overawed in the opening minutes. They threw everything at us but we were up to every contest. A 0-0 scoreline after 10 minutes felt like a big win. I love watching those first few minutes, reckon we'd have withstood anything.

Funny, I watched the whole game again yesterday as well and thought exactly the same thing.

It is just the fact that we are premiers that is amazing as we haven't been in that position for 62 years and it is the first time for many of us to experience that as a lot of us weren't around in 1954.

I'm fully aware of that. You created the same thread on BigFooty three minutes earlier.

Thank you for that contribution.

I think it will start to sink in once the season starts, because right now i still don't believe it happened, despite watching the replay once and seeing highlights countless times.
