This is it

[The Axe]

Almost time for a beer to settle the nerves.

I'm worried about the refs - just hope they put the whistle away. losing 4-2 is less of a problem than 8-4.

The boys won't take this game for granted and will play to win. No dives just play as men and play honorably. We should be proud of each of them; win or lose.

We need 50% of the ball and a 75% completion rate to win easily.

Easts Pluses
Better Team across the park - better A, better D
GF/Semi Final Experience
Not going in as favorites - no complacency
Mini has made his mistakes at the back
Stronger Bench

Souths Pluses
Will win the penalty count
2 point better goal kicker
Better repeat set execution
Better Field Goal execution if required

I'm very confident about the boys chances tonight. Whilst Souths have been talked up to the greatest degree in the media, we have been quietly going about our business. There is no pressure on us, there is a tonne on them.

My only worry is that the game goes into golden point, as Souths week off, ability to kick a field goal and the refs love for them, will no doubt give them an advantage.

However, if we play to our best, we will win the game no doubt.

Apparently it's 1971. I just got heckled by a group of construction workers for wearing a Roosters Minor Premiers T-shirt..sexist as well as toothless...

[Johnny Tobin]

That confident?

My confidence is tempered by Ben Cummins and my fear of losing to these carnts.

I don't think it's confidence. It's more like whatever happens will happen.

I have thought through a Souffs GF win and worked out that life will go on.

Having said that, if we beat them it will be an all-time favourite win and Souffs will be effectively destroyed for a few years to come.

I look at it like this. If we are going to lose to them I'd rather do it now than in a GF. IF they do go on to win the GF, highlights will be replayed more than the Sattler tackle or Gearin try combined. It will be their first win for 40 plus years and I don't want us on the highlight reels. We lose tonight (we won't!!), and it's only one week of media saturation that we will have to put up with.

Now lets smash these dirty, penalty milking, wrestling, media darling cheats! Go Easts!!

Summed it up in two sentences!

The way I see it, we are going to win tonight and then have the best chance in a long time to go back to back.


If we somehow lose, well then the GF tickets I already have will be worth an absolute mint to the avalanche of Souffs bandwagoners who'll want to get to the game. If the dogs also win on saturday tickets could literally go for $1000+

No amount of money will compensate me for a loss against Softs in a prelim.

He did live around the corner from me for a while but he's closer to Allianz now.

I want them sliced and diced..and served up with a nice chianti and some fauva beans...

After wearing my back to back T shirt in 02/03 it was difficult not to toss it out.

Following a week long search I have found it, 11 year old shirt I have worn just once!

Hopefully I can wear it from today for at least 9 days without taking it off....

GO EASTS!

I have a Freddy's 5000 T-shirt from 2008 with red nail polish split on it and a hole under the arm but I still iron it and fold it like it's designer label...which it is of course...
