****ing premiers baby!!!!!!

My 9 year old son and I screamed "yeahhhh!!!" in unison so loudly on the final siren, that we were probably heard 3 suburbs away.
How sweet it is!

I was lucky enough to get two tix to the game and took my 9 year old son. during the game he was given a brand new cap, some balloons and high fives for each goal by pies fans around us. Like all the adults new the next gen have something wonderful to look forward to (unlike what us boomers and gen x have had to endure). Was a real side by side vibe. I’m forever grateful to the team for allowing us that wonderful moment together when the siren blew. Never thought it could be better than 1990.

Looks like another case of battling the resellers. A heap on ebay already

That sucks.

 

[manicpie]

That NRL GF was bloody awesome to watch.

How ****ing good was it

 

[eyeroller]

We bought the Herald Sun (yuck) to get the Mark Knight poster, only to find out it once home that the poster had been thieved.

Outwitted on this occasion, but hopefully it was by one of our own!

 

[Mollythedolly]

i wake up this morning and we're premiers.... i just hope this continues in the future....

Reigning premiers for the next 360odd days at a minimum.

WOW! Greatest weekend of my life. Perfection!

Attended everything that was possible from open training on Thursday, the Parade on Friday, the match itself, the evening celebrations at Olympic Park on Saturday night and then back today at Family Day today to see our Premiership heroes one more time.

So grateful I've been able to absorb and cherish these moments. Memories I will never forget. I was a teenager when we won it in 2010, and I took it for granted and underestimated the enormity of the moment back then. This time, I'm cherishing everything.

What a privilege to win a classic Grand Final that had everything.

• Beautiful weather.
• Fantastic pre-match entertainment. KISS were awesome!
• High quality football from both teams which added to the spectacle. Brisbane made us earn it and we responded emphatically!
• Holding on in the dying stages to erase the pain we experienced in 2018.
• Bobby Hill winning the Norm Smith. What about that hanger?
• Sidebottom's long-range bomb in the dying stages.
• Pendles and Sidey turning back time with excellent performances. Incredible they're premiership players again after 13 years.
• Fly announcing that his wife gave birth to a new child.
• Peter Moore handing the cup to his son and Fly. After missing out during the late 70s and 80s, he would have been delighted for Darcy.
• Oleg Markov holding the cup in the official premiership team photo

I'm sure I've forgotten a few things, but I'm just mesmerised by everything we experienced as supporters. Fly and the playing group made our dreams come true. It's been two years of excitement and joy capped off with a Premiership.

I sat in the very last row of Level 4 of the Southern Stand (Shane Warne Stand), which was a unique experience with a mix of sitting and standing as the action was taking place. I hadn't sat outside the Ponsford End in over a decade, and up that high in my life so that was incredible to experience. Nosebleeds get a bad reputation, but being there live was amazing. I was also lucky enough to sprint down quickly to Level 1 to see the players parade the cup around with the supporters after the initial celebrations.

I really need to start shifting my attention towards buying some Premiership merchandise now!

Just watched the reply (1st time)
Was at AIA live site yesterday.
So so good!

 

[ThePhantom777]

On the SEN commentary Sam Edmund mentioned McRae was very animated in the last quarter (like he'd never seen before) and gave Cox a massive rev up before he went back on the ground for the last time in the 4th quarter. Cox was huge after that.

 

[Mollythedolly]

Managed to get two paper Premiers posters yesterday, but as we want to frame them decided to order a couple of laminated ones online, will take nearly 28 days to get here but it’ll be worth the wait

Got the 2010 paper version framed and it turned out great.

[Vic Park]

Anyone else still have some sense of disbelief of wtf happened yesterday? Slowly coming to terms with it, but having alternating moments of head shaking and fist pumping.

I think many of us have a sense of disbelief. For me it’s because this premiership has been 2 years in the making then suddenly in a dramatic few hours time it was all over. Footy makes time elastic.

I can't wait till next year, I actually think we'll be even better

 

[PonsfordMagpie]

Took us 42 years to finally level up our Premiership tally with Carlton, and 30 years with Essendon.

Such a satisfying statistic. Now to go one better next year and reclaim the top outright!

 

[Aussie pie]

Anyone been to the suns board and thanked them for a premiership player and Charlie Dean what a sacrifice at the start of the season so we could get Oleg. seriously Chaz is going to be important down the road especially if Murphy keeps getting concussed, it’s a concern for Murph.

 

[Mollythedolly]

Btw how do you think Grundy feels or do you think he still doesn’t care about premierships.

This misrepresenting his words gets a bit tiresome. Never said he didn’t care about premierships, said they wouldn’t define him as a person. You need to let it go and move on.

 

[Horaceg]

I can't wait till next year, I actually think we'll be even better

You know what, you might be on to something.

 

[Black_White]

We walked around this most iconic oval last night after the game. Beautiful evening with a few true believers for company. It bought back vivid memories of the 1990 wild celebrations. Does anyone have any photos of that memorable evening? Before mobile phone of course.

[Mollythedolly]

And you indeed have missed mine - if Grundy had truly wanted to stay he would have shown it in the only way that mattered.

Was never asked to take a pay cut. Hard to agree to it under those circumstances. Move on or take it to the Grundy thread.

 

[The Royal Sampler]

… suddenly in a dramatic few hours time it was all over.

And that was just the last quarter…

 

[WCE Wizard]

Absolute magnificent belter of a game, a classic grand final

as a neutral no one new who the winner was till the last 30 seconds congratulations and enjoy

 

[Mollythedolly]

My guess is they're just remaining pissed.

EFA

 

[SchuPie]

Just watched the replay.
Some people have said Bobby could have kicked 6.
But for some unselfish play an inaccuracy, he could have ended with 9.

 

[The Royal Sampler]

Hey, you know what? It’s quarter time and the Pies have just kicked an inspirational goal to go up by 10, Charlie Cameron

’s doing ****ing nothing… why don’t we run a ****ing stupid “You Be The DJ” poll where two of the options are absolute dribble to split the vote, and the third is the de facto Brisbane theme song? That’d be a great idea for a Grand Final, don’t you think?

 

[raymond35]

I feel an enormous amount of "closure" about this game.
To finally see Collingwood win a close grand final, has had a huge emotional effect.
It's like things have finally been made right and I can just enjoy the game for the rest of my life, with 3 or possibly more, beautiful premiership posters on the wall looking down at me.
Does anyone else sense this, or am I just going crazy.
