The Grand Final; What it would mean to you.

Re: The Grand Final; What it would mean to you.

My wife told me in 97 that if we got in the grand final she would see me on Wednesday. If we win that's about when she would expect me home, if we lost that would be the earliest I'd be allowed home.

Next season is 2008, which is of course 54 since 54.

That means of course as most of you would be aware - 54 years since the 1954 triumph

Well if the Premiership isn't achieved by the end of season 2021 and horrible to think that in 2021 that may be the case, then worse then that we haven't even made a Grand Final appearance, we will be walking around proclaiming 2022 as -


61 since 61.

Seems light years away does season 2022 but really it is only just 15 years away. In 1993 the year 2008 was the same distance.

Re: The Grand Final; What it would mean to you.

I would have to create a new word for the feeling I would have.
I thought it was that blissful walking back from the Elimination Final to the city last year
Singing the song on the Spirit of Tasmania home with my fellow supporters (3 of us)
I think if you took the hurt of '97 (my 18th b'day) and times that buy 1million it wouldnt come close.
It takes great punches in the guts for our team to bounce back
history has proven that.
I have worn the Red,White and Blue all my life, I have seen the good old days at the Whitten Oval, I saw old Scrager walk the field before the game
I have seen Libba,Hardy, Wynd win Brownlows and Scotty and Chris Robbed of it.
I hurt in '93,'97,'98
I would be devestated that Johnno and Westy didnt get to share that ultimate day
I already am for the Hawkins,Darcy,R Smiths, Wynds, Grants,

Wow, so hard to immagine what I would do...i would be an embarassment. I have no bulldogs supporter friends, so id chuck on a jumper and go craaazy with anyone in red white and blue.
I cant even immagine how happy I would be, and cant describe what it would mean

I'm actually a little scared of us making the GF.

Can just see myself ending up in hospital for a month if we win.
