Awesome thread and well done to all contributors
Interesting to read the the ways that different people have their own coping mechanisms for dealing with the pain of a GF loss.
....and it is painful....especially when most (as I did) expected you guys to win, especially after such a dominant and stellar season.
I still feel the pain of the 2004 GF loss and that was after 3 on the trot (makes me appreciate how lucky I was to witness such a feat).
Hang in there Cats fans.....sure it will be a painful off-season but you should console yourselves with the belief that your side is good enough to give it a real shake for the next 2-3 seasons.

Doesnt help with idiot fans bleating choke every time you post something. Only club\s supporters I'm willing to cop shit from is Hawthorn. Ab****ely laughable the likes of St Kilda, Bulldogs, Freo supporters among many having a go at us for 'choking'.
Choking in a Grand Final would be the highlight of these club's respective histories.

The most painful thing for me was to see the number "89" in our scoreline. AAARGH!!!
I'm beginning to think "someone" has put a curse on us or the "guy" above has it in for us. We spent ages in the dawks (more than enough to win the match comfortaby) forward line and just about every attempt at a score regardless of the player in possession was riddled with error after error. It's human nature, doubt was creeping in and you could see the worry in their faces. Nothing seemed to go right, although we had control of the match the more we wasted our opportunities the more deflated our players got.
Eventually something had to give as the dawks gained more confidence and self-belief after every miss. We lose possession of the ball momentarily, the dawks seize upon this rare mistake with a swift counterattack move and miraculously score. Unf*ckingbeliavable, they barely touched the ball and when they finally get their grubby little hands on it they somehow manage to perfectly steer it through the middle sticks.
I'm telling there must be supernatural forces working against us, it isn't fair. LOL @ the voodoo doll reference.
Or we could use an African witchdoctor just like Socceroos did to lift the curse of another one.

Still feel like shit two and a half days on. I felt sick to my stomach most of Saturday (game was early Saturday morning here) and yesterday was crap too after the other team I follow, University of Georgia, lost their damn game too. It's not my weekend to follow sports!
Anyway, I'm pinning all my copes on coming back next year even stronger and more motivated and getting some revenge on the goddamn piss and shit who've given us so much pain over the years.

What the f*ck.....
Yeah was a feature of Johnny Safran's old series on sbs. Not as freaky as the Voodoo stuff in Cuba I think it was, seeing a bloke bite a goat's nuts was er........weird.
Voodoo stuff in Cuba? What voodoo stuff?

it was in haiti, saffron invoked the spirit of some voodoo daity....freaky stuff. I think they also got shot at.
I actually dusted off some old WW2 documentarys i had in the dvd draw and watched them to take my mind of the cats loosing.....seeing people blowing up put shyte back in perspective for me.
Interesting. I was feelign terrble yesterday and couldn't cocnetrate on anyhting then re read some Battle of Stalingrad stuff and the suffering and god awful misery sort of put things back in perspective.
Still shattered but it aint the end of the world.

I'm not that happy about the players only coming out for a short time on Sunday but they spoke to the press,if they had some thing to say tell it to the fans,the stuff said in the paper l not reading in to it to much talk is cheap at the moment
Funny that... I have an essay to write on why the Japanese were defeated in the Kokoda campaign and I'm actually quite looking forward to writing it.
Perhaps you could say the Japs were arrogant, became selfish after earlier wins in Singapore and Malay and didn't play a team game.
Do you think my tutor will mind if I put analogies about Geelong in there?

Yeah, but the Socceroos didn't pay the witchdoctor and started losing again- until John Safran went over to reverse it. (Saw it on "John Safran vs. God. Was hilarious!)
