I think there is something wrong with me. I'm usually a "glass half empty" bloke.

Me too. I'm also very nervous, because I don't see any urgency in our players or thier preparations for the GF. It looks like they are taking everything so easily.

That can work both ways. The team that is more relaxed will expend less emotional energy and won't risk being flat on GF day.

Last year I genuinely thought that the E Girls would be too good but this year I think the midfields will break even allowing Hall,MOL,Davo and ROK to kick a winning score. I'm thinking a 4-5 goal win.

I'm the opposite. Last year I was worried about the crows and when the wee girls won I thought we had a very good chance to win. This year I was hoping the crows would win.

I think it will be a 5 goal win this time and I'm worried.........

I had "the feeling" last year - the good one that meant I wasn't too worried until the last 15 minutes where I thought I was going to explode in nerves! This year I'm nervous. But looking forward to enjoying the weekend anyway!

I'm confident enough to predict a 7 goal victory.

I so wish that I had your confidence. How nice would it be to relax and really enjoy at least half of the final quarter.

As per usual in office discussions when people ask, "Can the Swans go back to back?". The negative thoughts come in...well um, I sure hope so but the Eagles will be fired up etc. etc.

ANYWAY...What the heck...we are the defending premiers, we beat WC 2 weeks ago on their dung hill, by damn we sure can win it again because we are good enough!

snip ... There is no doubt that we are their nemisis or kryptontite. ... end snip

.... questions, questions ....

Kids, who died and made Brisvegas our "rival"?

Mexican friends ... were Fitzroy always our nemisis, or would it have been something more logical, like North vs South Melbourne, for instance? I don't know ... need clarification please.

If I could choose a "modern day" rival ... give me the budgies. I don't know if I've mentioned it a million times before, but my best friend is a budgie supporter and we've had "rivalry" for 20 years!! These ferals are nothing new for me. I love to take on ALL the budgies ... give poor quokkas a break !!

In my recollection ... they were pretty relaxed last year too.
Good omen!!
