mine really came off half way home middle of the night, gawd knows where i was, still few 100kms out from adelaide..and im like
"yeeees, come on..pump up!!" to myself in the car,, running on caffine and cigs.
it had finally kicked in after the dogs game...
we were going to the dance
I took the week off to really get into Grand Final week...do all the stuff..Parade, training etc...
Got a legitimate dose of the flu on the sunday prior and if floored me for the week. I kept trying to do stuff but it just set me back further and further. Made it to the Parade...and stood in the rain with some crew from here...saw sweet FA....went home and shivered on the couch for ten hours.
Then I showed up to training on the thursday @ Moorabbin.....at like 9am.
One of the social club blokes...I cant remember his name, came up to me as I was standing on the terrace....told me that training wasn't until 2pm or so....
I was like "WTF...how did I get here"? Went home, crashed and missed it altogether.
On game day I was still stuffed. Pumped up on so much pseudoephedrine just to keep my eyes open..... Had a few @ the Corner before the game...lasted until just before half time. I was rooted. Patchy memory of the second half...I can remember talking out loud though...in the crowd...running a commentary. Watched the replay the next day.
2010 is gonna be different. Beat the Dogs and the lid is right off. This is why we pour so much time and effort into it. We are in the comp to win premierships. Sure we have won bugger all but that just makes us DUE.
If we get there...we are going to win the fucker.
Make no mistake we are gonna win this.
Just have to get there.
"Now the ball is loose, it gives St. Kilda a rough chance. Black. Good handpass. Voss. Schwarze now, the defender, can run and from a long way".....
"The inches we need are everywhere around us. They're in every break in the game. Every minute, every second. On this team we fight for that inch. On this team we tear ourselves and everyone around us to pieces for that inch. We claw with our fingernails for that inch. Because we know when we add up all those inches that's gonna make the f***in' difference between winning and losing! Between living and dying!'
