Stress Levels?

[markp]

Me... 7/10, and building.

Higher than this time last year... (it's the filth FFS, and we only have so many shots left with this group).

I've upped all my weights and sessions at the gym to try and burn off some of the stress. No luck!

I'm sure that I'm losing weight by the day.

Heaven or Hell awaits... forget about lids and perspective.

This is it.

Bring it on... or get it over with!

Go The Mighty Saints!!!

stress is getting worse and worse. my stomach is constantly now in knots.

[SainterK]

Calm as

[gringo]

OMG two more sleeps until St Nick comes and delivers the present that I asked for.

Seriously though I'm nervous but no where near last year. I have more faith this year than last. Blind optimism maybe but coping pretty well. Only mostly unproductive this time.

I'm trying to go on a media ban.

Everytime I crack and turn SEN back on I am greeted by yet another Fwit filth supporter bleating about the brownlow and skyting how they'll win by 80plus......my blood starts to boil,so I turn it off

[Born in Moorabbin]

Yes, stomach feeling pretty crook. Only thing that works a bit is going for a run. Can't sleep more than a couple of hours. Hope the players are feeling much better than this!

[markp]

Calm as

Valium... Scotch?...AKA 'mother's little helper'???

I'm daydreaming about heading down the coast and dropping off the grid till monday morning... I want to see what's on that front page now!

[Milne]

I'm sh*tting myself.

Me too ,I have turned SEN off sick of hearing about the filth!
Not sleeping to well, a lot more stressed then last year,but strangely more confident.
10/10 Diet out the window.

4th coffee for the day.

Don't know if I'll be able to stomach my lunch.

Thank God I have tomorrow off!!!

Just make sure you are over all that before Saturday if you are in Standing Room!!!!!!

[OneEyedSainter77]

I'm unbelievably calm this year - every now and then I would stop thinking about the Grand Final last year.

This year, every now and then, I think about it.

Mind you, tomorrow we have a footy themed day at work and last year that really hit me how big the game was - so i guess we'll really see tomorrow.

Exciting stuff coming the next few days though.

Nah

By Saturday I might be more nervous.

[saintsrus]

Ive been enjoying the week, whatever happens is out of our control.

Am getting sick of the media now, how many times can you say the same thing.

Cmon saints

[Beej]

7/10 because about 70% of my daily thoughts are related to the GF.

Not as bad as last year though, probably because, like the players, I've been here before and know what it's all about.

[bigcarl]

a state of zen-like calm has descended over me.

[TazzieSaintGirl83]

Strangely calm and dont know why. Im not over confident or anything like that. Just have a strong faith in our boys and Ross.

Although emotion is still running high, shed some tears reading Robert Harvey's beautiful words from Jack Barker's funeral and also still shed tears when anything is shown of our boys after the game last year.
But whether its blind faith or the first signs I might be going mad Im not nervous yet.

I want the flag so bad its a burning pain in my heart but come what may I am proud as anything of our club.

[derby Street]

Can't sleep thinking about the game constantly. Can't work thinking about the game constantly. Can't ...... thinking about the game constantly.

[fingers]

Best thing I've done is spend this lead up week in Singapore. The lack of media has been good.

[Superboot]

Last year we were the best team in the comp; just had to get to the Grand Final; and given the season we'd had, just had to win it.

This year we've done well to get there against the odds.

Able to enjoy it more now than at this time last year. I'm glad that we are still involved, and it helps that we are underdogs with the ability to give everyone else a shock.

I'm sure the nerves will explode on Saturday morning but right now I'm just looking forward to the game.

Living in Queensland, one might as well be overseas!!!!! If it doesn't happen in Qld, it's not reported!!

You get the same in NSW.

Used to go to Albury GF week. Was all good in 1997 until our hotel room cleaner started walking around in an Adelaide shirt

[Maxstar22]

I am going from one to the other...

One minute cool as a cucumber. The next I am figgity and stressed.

Trying to keep busy to keep my mind off it. Not helping much though

Yep. It's all Titans, a little bit about the other League clubs, a whole lot about Collingwood, a bit about the Suns, a skerrick for St K.

Stress levels good this year. Very calm. Last year I had, um, digestive issues from about the Tuesday onwards. This year I'm excited, but calm.

[StNoodles]

Check in here every 5 minutes. Not getting a hell of a lot done at work :S
