2004 Qualifying Final
I tend to recall us getting slaughtered by 80 points in that game, yet we managed to come and miss the grand final by 1 kick.
Let's just see what happens this week.

An email from a friend of mine in Italy says it best I think -
"Don't lose heart mate - the flag wouldn't have been as sweet if we haven't beaten the pies to get there.
Next week we f*** Collingwood up.
This small town in Italy has just begun an anti Eddie campaign and will not stop until he bleeds..."

one thing for sure :
played a great team yesterday
lost and learnt a lesson . . . . hopefully
once they got rolling geelong were always going to win by 60+ or thereabouts.
got the sense 25 mins into the 1st that we were treading water and trying to hold back the surge.
The postitive :
sun comes up today.....
rather be in our position than adelaide or North which have had WASTED YEAR.
Collingwood isn't geelong and are beatable.
we got a 2nd chance..... just like the doggies.... and we can beat everyone bar geelong that are left in the mix
my mates a north supporter and he's devo'd cos of a wasted year.

Re: 2004 Qualifying Final
Chook, seem to recall you posting exact same prior to Essendon game, Adelaide game and Hawks game!! Other teams do fear us to from time to time you know!! Don't think the Pies have any major reason to be cockahoop about their chances this week either. Maybe they see this as a huge hurdle to overcome as well..chook23 wrote:We were a much better teamstevos2151 wrote:I tend to recall us getting slaughtered by 80 points in that game, yet we managed to come and miss the grand final by 1 kick.

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.
