What emotions did you have post game?

[Passmore]

The excitement was too much for me I think. By the time I had settled down and got home I felt extraordinary crook. I had intended to watch the replay with a few bourbons. Instead I went to bed.

I think I'll have a few coldies this arvo and watch the replay

 

[Mr. Blonde]

It's fair to say I totally lost my s*** on the final siren. Bear hugged my son who was standing on his seat on going crazy. It was his first final and he was as pumped as me.

This would comfortable sit in the top few games I've been to.

 

[DalBoySanto]

Final Siren went i was screams of joy haven't felt that pumped since 1999 90's in general about a win amazing thats what footy is all about.

 

[Grogg]

Ahhh, September Sunday glow, my how I've missed you.

 

[Kimbo]

Just massive amounts of relief. Barely even celebrated at the siren. Had absolutely thrown myself emotionally into the comeback and was just drained. I'm normally totally circumspect at games but had yelled myself hoarse in that second half screaming like a massive tit at everything. Rose early for Drew's two goals and after that I was just relieved

Finals are so much more fun.

 

[Bigeasy]

This was pretty much me as well. It's always a better experience when you're around fellow north supporters, which was the case for me last night.

Lileasy and myself sat amongst the Essendon members and my day went from horrible to elated. Oh what a ****ing win.

 

[TennisPlayerAndy]

I am still buzzing.

 

[LB2Snake]

Raised my 8 year old above my head at final siren........he was stoked and had been screaming "waste time waste time!", for the last 3 mins. His first finals win obviously, too, he absolutely loved it.
Geez I love this club. Suck shit *.......cheating self-righteous pack of arsehats!

 

[Scallop Industry Thug]

GF was crying. I just managed to hold off.

 

[Hatchy1992]

Being at the local pub with 4 teammates who just happen to be * supporters I just sat in my chair and had head in hands for a good 10 minutes. They accepted defeat with a minute to go.

Hi 5'ed the rest of my teamates who were all going for North.

 

[WA ROO]

Not really sure. Haven't been able to enjoy the week because of the fear of losing and the consequences of that. Even when we were two goals up with 30 seconds to go I was still completely tensed up. Afterwards was a sort of mixture of relief and euphoria without being able to truly enjoy it. Was still a ball of nervous energy when I went to bed.

Will enjoy the next five days a lot more I suspect.

Yep exactly the same
More happy now after watching the reply

 

[DarwinRoo]

My voice is completely ****ed. Mostly Essendon and neutrals around me so didn't get any high fives but was so estactic when Drew kicked those two and then when the siren went.

 

[Dugdale2Dwyer]

I remember walking back over the bridge with thousands of other fans, and I was stunned, I think everyone was, no one was gloating it was an eerie experience.
Then I found a pub and had a quiet beer.

 

[hotham]

I thought we were gone at half time. Eight minutes to go last quarter, I felt like my heart was going to jump out of chest. What a win, what an atmosphere. Didn't sleep much and I've watched replay three times.

 

[Thewlis Dish]

GF was crying. I just managed to hold off.

Is that the mail in or a new one?

 

[Singapore Roo]

I watched the whole match in a pub in Singapore, where I was the only North supporter among several Bomber fans. Made enough noise for everyone to know who I was going for in that 3rd quarter revival, lubricated by several James Boags.

 

[Gasometer]

Went out on to our street on Father's Day with my daughter and with chalk wrote 'go north Melbourne'...

 

[The Northerner]

Pure elation. When Drew kicked his second I looked up and gave my dearly departed North supporting dad an imaginary hug while fist pumping the air and screaming until veins broke the surface on my forehead. After the game I high-fived the supporters around me and then walked back to the car beaming the biggest smile I have shown in months, my badly wounded knee barely even giving me an ounce of grief such was the flow of adrenalin surging through my body. Thought back to some great finals victories and have to say that was the best I can remember. Out on our feet. No run. Then BANG the shinboner spirit rose from the ashes phoenix style and smout the team I loathe most. BRING ON THE UMPIRE-ASSISTED CATS!!!

 

[Gabbie]

Leaped off the couch yelling, did a happy dance around the coffee table, reached for the chardy, got on FB and posted how I felt.."chatted" with fellow faithful on my friend listing.

 

[ozzyoslo]

I think I fathered six children on last night's post game body contact with fellow North fans.

NTTAWWT

 

[ShinbonerBaz]

I will not stop smiling for the whole week, will use any excuse to wear North gear out and about (well that's actually not unusual).

You can not beat this feeling.

 

[Dirty_11]

Just loving Fathers Day. You can't wipe this smile away. Smashing Crownies in the sun watching the Tigs crumble. RDO tomorrow to top it off.

 

[ozzyoslo]

My lads seen the worst and best of me during this game.......Ive never been wilder watching a game during that second qtr. I had my 2 lads watching ( as a token to their ol man) but both are not passionate about AFL....yet !!

The missus was away and I needed to find another "mums taxi" to pick my youngest up and take him to practice, yep you guessed to no avail........but as the game wore on I realised that I could whisk him to training at 3/4 time.
managed to get back missing 2 minutes into the last.

I then watched the remaining game with my oldest (13) and that was enjoyable as he started for the 1st time really get into a game. We both screamed and cheered Drewy's goals and me standing not being able to relax during those last 3-4 minutes.

The bain of internet streaming is the dreaded "rotating wheel" then appeared with exactly 1 minute to go..... but I knew we were going to managed to get over the line.

AFL seriously needs to upgrade their streaming servers as they dont have the capacity to sell it at an acceptable level.


But ending on a positive I can relate enjoying yesterdays moment with their kids for the 1st time !!

 

[archereleven]

I woke up with a smile on my face this morning and have been on a high all day
