Is it just me, but alot of supporters seem to have compromised their passions for the club, with this upcoming NAB GRAND FINAL.............
Yep, you heard me right!
FOOTSCRAY, Doggies, Western Bulldogs.................IN A GRAND FINAL!
Do we secretly hope like hell that we win this damn thing, then get on with the season proper, there seems to be this stigma of not being too excited about winning a NAB Cup, yet, in 40 years, we haven't even bloody made ANY Grand Final of any sorts.
I don't know about anyone else, but i admit to being very nervous with 2 minutes left on the clock, and Port being ahead on the scoreboard...and yet another "second last" final pissed down the gurgler...ok, it's not the big prize, but it's a prize none the less, and with a success starved club like we have, not too many of us here have ever seen us play in a Grand Final, let alone win one, unless off course you were passionate for the club in their VFA days in the late 1800's & 1900's, and perhaps witnessed this club as being one of success, and seeing us win 9 Premierships.
That final big grab by our big recruit, was like something we have never seen at our club, a big power forward just launch himself, in the past, that would have been a punch away and run out by their defenders......not this time.....and this time we made it, and lets make the most of it i say.
But the way i see things, is that with a success starved club like we have, we need as much experience with these big games as possible, supporters seem to be divided between hoping like mad we win this thing, and only caring for round 1, i hope we do win it, i want as much silverware as possible, and couldn;t give a rats ass how small that silverware is, i want us to have a winning mentality everytime, and never compromise anything.
I want us to walk off Etihad or Subi as winners, and not with our tail between our legs.....AGAIN!
We wanted to win last night, make no mistake, flooding the backline with a minute left!
