Stirring words Solar and Matrix. You two related to Winston Churchill? Brought tears to my eyes, wanted to get out in my Lancaster bomber and drop a bit of ordnance on Broadmeadows and Geelong.
We will destroy the filth, third time lucky!

we won our third in a row (only b grade, but hey...i was happy)
it was my last game
the plan was to give the playing days a kiss goodbye and to get a REAL membership next year (not an interstate membership), work hard all summer saving some dosh and then get over to melb as much as possible and even get to other states....basically follow them for as many games as i can thoughout 2009....ive got the bug now ive been to a few over in melb.
i had bought the ticket to the cats game as soon as they were on sale, KNOWING that i was playing in a GF (on the saturday before the cats game) and had been undefeated for 3 YEARS (so basically it was in the bag, and we won by 70 odd points)
of course u know what kinda night that leads to, especially when both lower grades (the juniors) also brought home premierships too.....it was slated as a VERY big one.....
but i didnt have a big one, i had four beers (one out the prem cup) and had a feed, said my goodbyes and left at a respectable 10pm....and trust me people couldnt believe it, id told the team and the coach i was going early but the peeps that help around the club (family etc etc...) really tried everything to get me to stay
"ill take u to the airport in the morning"
"stay at my place..i can get u there, what times the flight?"
no thanks....i know what that leads to....
i had a plane to catch in the morning and a game to see......an important game...saints v the reigning premiers.
so $500 bucks later im sitting in my seat at three quarter time....knowing the game is gone, im half cut and im not happy.
i trudge back to me hotel near the train station when the final siren blows, and it starts raining.....great.
i get into the hotel room and flick the tube on, great total crap is on.....
the mind starts to think...and think...and stew...and boil.
F*** it....im not wasting the money on the pies game i say to myself.
i mean i can sit at home all day saturday, light the fire, pour a chivas regal and get comfy...why spend the money?.
i can pay the 1200 bucks worth of bills i have instead??
i wont have to organise a room, a flight blah blah etc etc.
i fall alseep (early) to the sound of some tossser on CSI.
i wake up in the morning around 3.30am....i think about the night before.
i think about the game the night before, and start thinking..
#35...#35
the legend #35
and as someone else said, this bloke has put 21 friggin years into this club, 21 FRIGGIN YEARS!
thats 3 quarters of my lifetime.
my attitude change immediately, i was getting pumped
"F*** it......im coming back next week to see us beat the pies.....then ill be back the week after too!"
never give in, never give up.....even if it just means playing for pride when u know u are gone.
ill be back there this week and the f****** week after........
....and on that final day too.
great thread.....better than that roo thread started by some twat
go uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu saintz
now....
im off for mad monday celebrations...
oh boy, am i in trouble
turn up to the cricketers arms and say hello to the saintsational people, they will be able to point me out. I will shout you a beer.
That goes down as the most awesome post THIS YEAR.
Reminds me why I love this club! Why in 2004 I drove to SA and back just to support the boys and try and get grand final tickets (ended up not needing too... but a hell of a drive as I was the only one with a licence).
We have everything to play for. Have to be behind them in EVERY contest... I refuse to except anyone who has the ability to be there on saturday night not getting there. And leave without a voice!!

I finished sooking about the Cats game yesterday and ready to see the boys get out there and get back into contention!
We seem to play smarter footy when our backs are against the wall.

When they created LENNY HAYES (in the shadow of Harvs) they forgot to break the mold (again)- hence the Supremely Incredible Jack Steven!!

Spot on guys - great work. It's the Pies at the G' this week - knockout final, prob 80+ thousand there. Does it get any better than that? We knock then Pies out of the 2008 season - now that would be just magnificent.Solar wrote:serious offermatrixcutter wrote:on saturday i played a GF

Be there - all of you........ all of you...... shout loud. No way you should be able to talk after this game. Pumped big time for this.
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.
