72 hours on and i still think i'm living in a dream. I just doesn't feel real. ********ing work is not letting me have a bloody minute to think about what we have achieved.

You're right, Jeffers. It doesn't feel real.

I sat at the Football Studies conference yesterday, gazing at the premiership cups in the Essendon Hall of Fame, thinking "One more, just one more game. That could be ours...". True story.

It IS ours! Repeat after me: It's ours, it's ours, it's ours!

It was the red and white ribbons attached to the cup that did it for me, so used to seeing other teams' colours on GF day, it's always been some other side that has the fairytale ending - just like when the Panthers won the NRL in 2003 while I was still trying to answer the question "What happened to our fairytale?"

I still remember watching Swans games on TV in 2000, when I was still getting to know the game, that was the season we lost umpteen close games, and again in 2002 - how good does it feel now! Amazing how as a newbie, I still at least kept an interest in the Swans through those years...maybe I knew the holy grail wasn't far away (OK, now I'm stretching it!)

Watched the last Qtr and presentations 5 times now and still get a tear in the eye when Roosy screams HERE IT IS.

Get used to the disappointment. As our late, unlamented, Footyhead said "the Swans cannot win a flag with Paul Roos as coach."

Footyhead must be skooks.

I banned him from the swans board at myafl and sent him a timely reminder of that particular quote when i did.

It was out (and "sold out", twice) on Sunday morning at Lindsay Hassett).

I made my own DVD on Monday but I'll take a look at the the "3 DVD set" when they give more details of the content.

Watched it three times so far - including while waiting for my return flight on Wed night when storms closed the airport for a while.

I'll probably watch it again today between parade and dinner.
