The grand final

Head says Hawks,heart Eagles especially for those Eagles fans driving the breadth of the country to watch their team.
 
Watching the grand final parade all i can think of is how sick i am of seeing other teams there year after year ..
Geez what i would give to see us up there.

That's pretty much my entire living memory. I was unfortunate to be born around the time of our last premiership (was a few months old). Can't get much worse timing than that as a Tiges supporter. And 1982 is before my earliest memories too.

That"s a long drive home. I live 2 hours from Melbourne and I hate the drive home when we lose.

Good to hear Ian. I'm usually happier barracking for the underdogs. Go Hawks!

Read the post above mine which I was responding to. Oh dear indeed. :blah
 
Was in the city at 3.30 - it was really warm. If it's close at 3 qtr time then the Eagles may have the heat conditioning to get them over the line. I'm not fussed either way - just think if the Hawks win it will have been an amazing effort by Clarkson after constanting losing his assistants along the way.

I reckon they might bring Hartung in for maybe Hale - they'll need legs at the end of the game in this heat.

Compare that to one of my mates. Mad Hawthorn supporter. Born September 5, 1961. 18 days before their first premiership.
54 years old. 12 premierships. Premierships before he was born: 0.

Ah well, at least I am old enough to be able to remember 69, 73, 74 and 80 ... and pretend about 67.
 
Really looking forward to it.. Won't lose any sleep either way but I so hope my Hawkers son, who will be up at 3amish to watch the game, sees his team win.

Go Hawks.
 
I don't think I mind who wins, I really do like the grand final and would lose my 'self' if we ever get through to one while I'm on the planet.

I want the Hawks to win for my Uncle and also my friends dad.

I don't really know any Weagles fans but I wouldn't mind if they won either.

I hope it's a cracking game.

Edit: just saw the forecast of 30 degrees for tomorrow, Weagles might win just because of the heat >:D

I have grown up my entire 35 years on stories from my parents about when the Tigers were a dominant powerhouse. Never has seemed quite real. Like some kind of mythical prehistoric period before time when hobbits walked the earth.
