I'm not going to deny it. Watching Jobe and the players in that press conference and I got teary. From about 1.30 to 2 today I can't remember the last time I was that nervous. The funny thing is that I was playing golf with a mate and it was the 14th hole when it clicked past 2pm.
If you ask me what happened on the golf course over the next 40 minutes i have no idea. When the first few not guilty posts came through on this thread I didn't know what to do. I literally had a massive lump in my throat and I had goosebumps all over my arms and legs. I wanted to run around the golf course yahooing and high 5ing every single elderly golfer that was on the course playing. I got in the car at 2.45 and let out the biggest scream of relief and joy. The whole hour and ten minute drive home I had the biggest smile on my face.
I am so happy, how can I feel this good over a sporting matter? 26 months, 2 years of scrutiny serious criminals have not even faced and it is over. All along my respect and admiration of the players has grown and grown. Like I said at the start of my post, seeing Jobe in that interview was incredible.
Thank you to all the posters on this board and in this thread over the time. We have truly stuck together in the face of nothing that any supporter has ever had to face before. I'm looking forward to all our focus returning to the players and how we are progressing as a team. Bring on 2015.
We are Essendon and I'm proud to be a little part of the club
