2013 was just relief.
2015 was pure expectation. Never thought we'd lose it. Game was over before half time.
2016 was pure euphoria for the team involved but also incredible knowing my long suffering Dogs supporting Dad as seeing his teams first premiership. Was a very special moment of footy bliss.
Agree, I emphasize with players that stick out with their club through prolonged bad patches.If the Demons win I really feel for Nathan Jones not getting to be a part of it. He was a bloody warrior for them when they were painfully bad and he had to have had better offers come through to go to teams that weren't getting pantsed every week. Not sure there's a player on their list that deserves the accolade more.
Melbourne seem to be blowing a few trumpets already and the Doggies are laying low...
I know where my money would be if I was a betting man.

I actually really like what they are doing . Not shying away from being in a GF , the 'draught' or the pressure of it all.Melbourne seem to be blowing a few trumpets already and the Doggies are laying low...

How anxious are BigFooty people? 98 pages in and there's still a week to go
Last year grand final 'day' was a drag just waiting around for the evening start, but this year we're waiting around two weeks! I agree it has really ruined the atmosphere.2 weeks is such a long time between games. For me, all the energy from the prelims has gone and it pretty much feels like the off-season already. Despite knowing there is still one game to play.
It IS the off season.2 weeks is such a long time between games. For me, all the energy from the prelims has gone and it pretty much feels like the off-season already. Despite knowing there is still one game to play.

I think we should just scrap all of them. Have 2 byes during the regular season from rounds 8-9 and 17-18.Still prefer it as opposed to the pre finals bye.

The best Grand Final for me, and I've been to 6 (91,08,12,13,14,15), was easily 08.Ned Kellys Australian Bar in Munich. 200 Aussies. 4 people in Swans jumpers and 196 people cheering on the Dogs. Game stated at 5:30am. Pint of Weihenstephan Hefe Weissbier and a bowl of wedges for breakfast.
Stressed through the preliminary final the week before back home knowing the motivation levels to get up that early for a Swans/Giants Grand Final may not be high enough.
Was the first time I had ever been overseas and this was 4 days into the trip.
Drunkest i'd ever been. Don't remember the walk back to the hostel but remember waking up at 4pm wondering if i'd watched the Dogs win the flag or if it had been a dream.
This is part of the reason why I rate my enjoyment levels for the 2016 flag over the 2013 and 2015 ones. Sometimes the places were you were can make a moment a million times better.
The best Grand Final for me, and I've been to 6 (91,08,12,13,14,15), was easily 08.
The thrill of breaking a massive drought (seemingly huge in hawks years), plus being the underdog where every neutral I knew was going for them, it was just pure euphoria and emotion. Celebrating afterwards just hugging strangers in and outside the ground, a partying for the next 36 hours was the best.
I didn't go in 16, but watched with a few doggies supporting mates, and it was the closest thing to 08 in that the entire game, particularly the last quarter was just a massive celebration. Loved every second of it. So I know what you mean.

Seriously, who gives a rats about either of these clubs. I wish we could fast forward to trade period and the drafts.
No apologies, someone had to say it.
