FINALS FEVER...BRING IT ON!!!

the sign says it all...

OMG viewers finals have arrived!!! yes what we have been waiting for all year. time to separate the boys from the men. have you made your tips? suspect any upsets? well moi thinks that perhaps freo might knock sydney off but when i heard about johnson missing the finals series and no mcpharlin well i let that one sink to the bottom of the freo harbour. what am i gonna do when footy finishes? i honestly dont know but somehow i will manage to keep my finger on the pulse.

     friday night entree...hawks vs cats. for me the hawks will win comfortably. personally i think the cats are not as competitive as years gone by and will not be able to match it with the slickness of the hawks or their precision foot skills. freo vs swans? well i think the ground may not suit the swans but buddy and tippet will trouble freos backline. the swans will need to expose that and keep a tight lid on ballantyne and walters. 

     roos vs the bombers? no carlile and depending on which kangaroos side fronts up, north melbourne but personally i would like to see them lose. too unpredictable and a fast finishing side, they have managed to beat all top four sides...did they? i think so but correct me if i am wrong. 

     port vs richmond? port for moi. i will not be seduced by the tigers winning streak. finals are a different ball game. the tigers have to be admired for their run home to the finals but seriously we played them under manned and the same could be said for sydney. psychologically they seem to have the momentum but as i said on channel seven news ( the media magnet that i am) they wont know what hit them.and how prophetic was that viewers? just call me footy, female and psychic!!! hee,hee. so here is a little insight into how it went.

     monday morning... tickets...we waited in line at the entertainment centre, ten tickets later in section 101 right on boundary line...HIP HIP HOORAY!!! plus we got our picture in the advertiser...winning. friday morning...open training...more pics with the boys, lottie getting guernsey signed for her big sister, interview by channel seven...winning again, hee, hee. saturday....finish painting placard. sunday morning....workout on barry, sun is shining. go to papa joe's wish him a happy fathers day and give him his winning lotto tickets ( yes viewers don't want the footy gods getting angry coz i forgot about the old man) i begin to get that familiar feeling. the same one when we flogged carlton. all stations go. we get a car park across the road from AO...OMG we are still winning. lady army, ten in a row. the crowd, the song, cotchin lets us kick with the wind...what was he thinking? yes we are already winning before the ball even bounces. and then that first quarter where i almost pass out because i am so dizzy from having to keep on keeping on standing up....goal, goal, goal, goal, goal, goal, goal!!! dream start, football ecstasy game over in 17 mins and that folks was true. to witness the boys wear the prison bars, they played as if they were possessed from the past. the past that says we are the most successful football club in the history of australia!!! yes am still reliving the awesome brutality and never give up attitude that completely overwhelmed the tigers and stripped them of their stripes. now lets do it again...time to sink the freo ship!!!

over and out, FFFand F.

PS we went upstairs to the magarey room afterwards to soak in the atmosphere and share our jubilation with fellow supporters. and to catch a bit of eye candy too, wink,wink...where did you go my footy husband???

Some of the lady army...kazza had to go!!!
