Are you a real man??

[Skinny]

I remember my Dad in 1966.

We listened to the 1966 Grand Final on the radio and when the final siren went he had his head in his hands and was sobbing his eyes out.

I couldn't understand it and i must admit i felt embarrassed, here was a 55 year old man who had fought overseas during WW2 crying over a game of football.

I was eleven years old and I thought that Premierships would be a regular occurrence.

Now as I approach the same age as my Dad was in 1966 I can now understand his emotion and yes I will probably shed my share of tears if we can win our second Flag.

I would certainly bottle up any tears and try to show some self discipline.
I would feel I am weak if I cried in public like that. However I respect others may want to show their emotions in a different way than I.
I remember everyone bagging Roo a couple of years ago when he shed some tears at the footy. It seems if a guy cries he is a sook and if he dos'nt cry he's an unfeeling moron....you just cannot win!
The important thing to remember is we would be the Premiers..nothing else matters.

[Goose is king]

I think I would cry but only if the game was decided in the last 10 mins. If it a gradual build up to the win and consequently easy win the emotions wont be enough to make me cry.

I remember getting teary when the Scud came back to snatch the DAvis Cup.

Heaven help me if we win a flag.

Very moving stories Skinny and Starsign


...as for me I won't cry


...I'll just ball my freaking eyes out

Have been mentally scarred over many years and with Dad[Sir Walter] and Mum[both passionate saints] joining the upstairs saints selection commitee within 4 months of each other this year[haven't lost a game since!!!]It would be very emotional to say the least!!!

It has become far too important to me...the thought of it never happening torments me to the bone...

I still have to walk away from the T.V and radio when it gets tight...and still feel physically sick before every game

97 absolutely gutted me!!

Just 1 more premiership in my lifetime [6 years old in 66 and just a vague memory]and I would be cured forever.

Just do it boys...for the resilient and loyal supporters over all those years but most of all to etch your names in history forever...

I am holding on to the dream until its realised or dies with me

[bergsone]

Was there in 66 with my dad,only time I can remember a tear in his eyes,funny thing about it nearly everyone around us was crying too



s*** he lit up our street that night

YES if it happens I will have a tear in my eyes too

[jonesy]

If we ever won a flag I'd have tears in my eyes from the copious amounts of drugs i'd take afterwards. As i would have reached the pinnacle of my life,therefore the only kicks I'd get would be from taking drugs.
It'll all be tatoo's and rehab for me

[asiu]

It'll all be tatoo's and rehab for me

me too jonesy


and any thing ( female) in red white and black had better watch out ...because it wont be soft

[desertsaint]

"Yeah Son I just wished my Dad had of lived to see this seen this "

just wish i live to see it!

[St Fidelius]

I've never cried when we have lost a GF, and I was a bit too young to be really that passionate back in 66, but if we won a GF now I reckon their maybe a tear or two

[saint66au]

Will sob like a baby and hug anything in sight..you have been warned

That rain after the 97 GF let a few of us blokes get away with murder tear-wise

[felixleo]

Tears of joy over a win ,great. Tears over a loss, not so great. Harden up guys and girls.

[Bring back Troy Shwarze!]

Obviously Harvs would be happy for the boys and the club but he might be deep in tears too at missing out.
