Im with you, I think I might be defective, I am not nervous yet.

I am concerned I will pass out during the national anthem. Either this Saints Bubble is one tough thing or I am cracking up

I've now moved away from stressed...I'm just angry! Pure and simple! Nothing would please me more than seeing this scum swept aside tomorrow! NOTHING!

Stress levels for Saints fans can only be measured on an open ended scale similar to that developed by Charles Richter for earthquakes. The stress increases exponentially according to the number of years of attending Saints games without seeing a flag. I saw my first game in 1960.

I saw my first in about 1970. I am not coping at all at the moment, in fact I feel unwell.


I love this club

I am very calm. Don't know why but I am more nervous about home and away games. I think we will win and I will calmly watch the ups and downs of the game confident about the final result. 8-)

I was getting pretty wound up and suddenly developed an inner peace. Have I had a calling ? What will be will be - nothing much all us sainters can do but scream our lungs out with passion at the game (and anywhere else for that matter)

Starting to climb again now.

It's been a fairly calm week, and I've been confident... but it's a game of footy, with countless variables and unknowns.

I just wanna be able to watch both GF's back to back, over and over, all summer!

I just keep saying, I just want to win, I just wnat to win, and not by a point, but by a good margin, where we can start celebrating early in the last quarter.
I want to remember 66 as the first, not the only.


Except for the sanity nothing much has been lost.

Quietly beginning to s*** myself.

Just want this one so, so badly. To state the bleeding obvious.

Have woken twitchy about selections, too. Should we go with a runner and let Koz ruck it out?

Was calm as pie last week...Not so this time...

Lord help me.


"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!'

Yup.

The feeling when BJ kick that goal... it was like poking your head above the clouds.

But all too briefly.

Words cannot describe what it would mean to so many.

Agree markp.

Even though we lead Geelong most of the day I never experienced that feeling in 2009. There was always the nagging feeling the Cats were going to over run us.

This time it was us running over the top of the other side and when BJ did the unbelievable and we hit the front, well it just seemed like this is going to be it.

Hopefully we get to experience that unbelievable feeling tomorrow, and that it stays with us for the next 12 months at least. :wink:

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.

I'm feeling good! Our team is in good shape, amd we've learnt a lot about ourselves and our opponent during the week.

Oh yeah, and I'm still angry! I want the Magpie filth buried!! And I want their cocky arrogant supporters silenced! I hate them! :twisted:
