I was stunned at the crowd there today! The feeling was electric!

These are the days we'll come to remember. Perhaps the last time we'll see Moorabbin a destination for the hordes of Red, White & Black faithful who for so long have desired and wished for the ultimate reward to be bestowed upon this mighty club!

The time is due folks, we've come a long way...... Rain, Hail or Shine......Saturday is when we hit pay-dirt!!

Awesome photos.

My favorite memory of '97 is the drive down to Moorabbin for training and the huge buzz around the place which seemed to build from about 5km away.

Wish I could have been there.

Awesome pics, St Luke.

I love these panorama ones, take some on Saturday!

My congrats on the photos too...just spectacular...but no doubt excitement tinged with sadness for us all.

Really brings home the atmosphere to me... a long way from Moorabbin now. I too have memories of that training session before '97.

We have waited 12 long years since then and the guys will bring the cup home this time.

Great pics!

Wish I could have made it along myself.

Hopefully if we can win on Saturday, we can get a chance to celebrate there on Sunday give Moorabbin a fitting farewell.

Thanks guys, I'm only too pleased to share. I know there would of been plenty who would have loved to have come down, but naturally not everyone can.

I use a Nikon D80 karnak. A Panorama program within Photoshop (Photomerge) helped me put the top pic together. I was very pleased with the result

Thanks a million St Luke. Your skills put this 86-year old right there. How can I print them out ? I have Windows running.

I'm very glad duggie! I'm hoping the rest of the Saints join me on Saturday, I need all the help I can get to get through this! but I have alot of faith!

The actual file of the original photo is huge! I think Photobucket (where I've linked it to) scales the file size down considerably. If I can find a site to place the panorama photo on I'll do it this evening! It was 4 or 5 shots put together off a 10.2 megapixel camera. I was really happy with how it came out. I thought myself it caught the atmosphere
