The feeling when we were 6 points up with under 6 mins to go
Did you start feeling that feeling all of us have been wanting to feel, the feeling that we might have just won a flag?
I can tell you my lid went flying, I lost it completely and it was out of sight when Goddard put us 6 points up.
I had to grab a box of tissues as I was crying my eyes out thinking I think I am about to witness a premiership. I felt I was very much in control of my emotions till we hit the front, then the tears of joy turned to panic and fear when Collingwood hit the front. We leveled the scores and I was back to crying and screaming at the TV "this can not be a draw". Then when the ball was on the wing with only 10 seconds to go and knowing it was going to be a draw my emotions went numb.
I guess being at home watching it I knew how long we had left on the clock. This may have been different for those at the ground?
Just wanted to see how many of us started to get that feeling that we really have never experienced, especially the people that where not around in 66 or were to young to remember.
That feeling I really feel we are going to get back this Saturday, I am not going to get cocky, but I just feel now we are the edge.

I knew there was too long to know we had it won, but I agree, I thought we had it in the bag much more than last year.
I would love to know for a whole last quarter this week.

Yes, was at the city end. Similar feelings but didn't actually cry.
Cried during the third quarter of the Prelim in sheer admiration of the boys!
Overwhelming feeling in final minute was "Thankfully we won't lose and can still win, even if we have to do it next week".
PS love the avatar!

Such a wonderful feeling it was, if we can continue where we left off on Saturday afternoon, we will be fine.

It wasn't until then I started to believe we would win. My usual optimist self was feeling pesimistic all day with the pies great start. I seriously thought in the first qtr that we were likely to get smashed.
So when we hit the front, I finally believed we could win. The people in the next seats hugged my son and I. I shed a small tear I think. I knew there was too long to go to hang on, but I really thought we would score again. The goal to them seemed quite soft at the time, and the joy went to terror - fear that we would lose by a point. The ultimate high to the ultimate low in just a few minutes.
That mark deserved to be game a premiership winning. How it is remembered going forward will depend on what happens next week. It will hold a much better place in history if we win next week.

After that mark and goal, it was the first time I truly believed we were going to win.
It's funny because when the Pies blew it out in the second quarter, all my nerves had disappeared. I was resigned to defeat and I was just praying we could do something rather than expecting anything.
As we slowly came back though, so did the nerves and from BJ taking that mark till the final siren, my nerves were at their absolute peak.
My heart was pumping so bloody hard.

I thought that was our Leo Barry moment. We had all the momentum, a freak mark, I thought the perfect ending was happening before our own eyes and the drought was going to end.SaintWodonga wrote:When Goddard marked, I was at a peak I have never been before.

For a moment, suddenly saw the score and had a real sense we could win. Not my usual fantasy delusional stuff......a real, hey this could be happening sense. But then gone.......
Although, my major daydream when I have imagined us wining the flag this year,has been BJ taking a screamer and kicking the winner....so maybe it will happen...

What's the Point of it All?
Yeah, my feeling was that it's not over - if we come back next week we'll have the opportunity to bury Collingwood early in the match.I Love Peter Kiel wrote:Overwhelming feeling in final minute was "Thankfully we won't lose and can still win, even if we have to do it next week".

Have to agree, was very thankful the ball was in our half, it's amazing how raw and instinctive the emotions are in that sort of finish.battye wrote:Yeah, my feeling was that it's not over - if we come back next week we'll have the opportunity to bury Collingwood early in the match.I Love Peter Kiel wrote:Overwhelming feeling in final minute was "Thankfully we won't lose and can still win, even if we have to do it next week".

I thaught with the time left and the opposition that if we kicked one more goal we would have it. I was at my most excited when Lenny belted it foward and Milne was running onto it. I thaught he would gather the ball slam it through and get right in the faces of the filth behind the goals. Sadly it was not to be
I also thaught we were gone a few times. When Davis goaled and when Cloke put them back infront I thaught it might have been beyond us.
Lucky I was wrong
BANG BANG

I thought we had the momentum, I thought we'd continue and win the game.... But if course the footy gods aren't going to make this easy for us! Just typical!! We'll have to fight hard to take what is ours! The victory from here would be just so sweet!! Gotta push hard! I'm sure whatever plan Rossy and the boys implement this Saturday will bring it home!!!
When they created LENNY HAYES (in the shadow of Harvs) they forgot to break the mold (again)- hence the Supremely Incredible Jack Steven!!

Felt strangely numb actually, not as excited as I expected I would be - had also thought that when Davis kicked that goal it was over. When BJ put us in front, was excited, but knew there was still too much time to go - would not have let the lid off until that siren went. As it turns out, didn't happen then either! Pretty excited about next week though

Had tears welling - thought we were going to witness a premiership for a fleeting moment!!! Still very anxious - knew we needed another or some damn luck. Just something!!!
I want to stand for something. I'm a loyal person and I think at the end of my career it will be great to look back and know that I'm a St Kilda person for life.

aye i burst into tears.
was with some friends ad some token american tourists.
they couldn't believe steve and myself riding the emotions of eveyr 'bad' decision' every goal they scored, when we got level, when we went in front...
when they got 1 point in front
when the ball was bouncing from lenny.
steve and I were doing laps and his missus was screaming at the TV etc etc
to the stunned finale.
I thought we had it...i really did, we've held on before, i think we just didn't play our keepings off game, but thats another story.

The raw emotion at the game was the most enormous wave of fluctuating feelings I could ever imagine.
At half time we were talking and I was saying "hey we look gone but it is only two goals per quarter - it is not as if we haven't done it before" so it was pretty flat and only a "maybe".
Then when we were all over them in the third we were all screaming so loud even my 15 year old son, usually so unflustered and a bit reserved, was going absolutely crazy. Never heard him yell like that (like I do)
Then, I thought we were shot when Davis kicked it - but we all lifted for massive cheering.
When Goddard marked there were tears everywhere around me - I reckon more than half the people in Q55 had tears of joy and most thought we would win.
Then there were heads in hands when Coll came back and total astonishment at the end.
It was a truly incredible experience.
The REPLAY is also the only really viable option - so glad they did not make up some stupid extra-time rule on the day.

This is a team game and there is no room for individuals who think they are above walking through the fire.
