WE WON WE WON WE WON WE WON WE WON WE WON WE WON WE WON!
There, I think that's enough. In the last quarter, I had a headache and thought I was going to have a heart attack but I stayed to the end. We were all screaming "WHERE'S THE SIREN?!?" and then when it finally sounded and I saw Big Cox's arms go up and Adam Goodes sink to the ground, everyone was shouting for joy.
It felt weird watching them win another premiership. Probably cos it has been 12 years since their last one. The 1994 premiership was so one-sided but to win by 1 point!!! That's insane!!! But I'll take it :)
It's a bit freaky that the 85-84 scoreline was the exact score that Sydney won by in the qualifying final. Do you reckon God has a sense of humour?
Now the Eagles are receiving backlash from the Vics after the win - the not shaking hands with the kids incident, Lynchy and Big Cox swearing in joy in front of the cameras which was broadcast on Channel 10, Beau Waters eating Adam Hunter's pet goldfish, Andrew Embley's singing and dancing before the crowd at Subi Oval on Sunday....
a) I agree it was bad that not all the players shook hands with the kids. They wouldn't have meant any harm by it and were just so caught up in their excitement. They still should have shook hands though but I can't see how the Vics are making such a big deal about it when not all the Sydney players shook hands last year or Port Adelaide the year before. They didn't make a big deal about it then.
b) Swearing is not good - even in happiness. No excuses there.
c) Eating a goldfish is just dumb and cruel. If anyone ate Aquarius or George, my goldfishes in Albany, I'd be livid. I don't care how drunk they were. Waters admitted later it was dumb.
d) Andrew Embley's singing and dancing was cool. They're allowed to celebrate!!!
According to the West Australian, Mark Seaby will only be having a few beers. Good on him!!
Controversy aside, I AM SO EXCITED!!! The Eagles are kings for the next 6 months before we defend our premiership for the next 6 months after that. I really felt for Jaymie Graham being left out and it's good to hear that Ashley Sampi is going to get his butt into gear for next year and wants to start training straight away.
Oh and thanks to the immature Dorkers fans at Dockerland.com for their lovely Eagles bumper sticker saying we suck and for inventing Eagles Suck Day. WE ARE THE PREMIERS!!!
YAY WE WON!!! WOOOOOOOOOHHHHHOOOOOOOOOOOO :D :D :D
What am I going to blog about for the next 6 months? Lots! Stay tuned ;)

yeah, the Vics just don't like us since we were the first side to take their coveted trophy:) It happens every year, players not shaking hands. Its sad, but it is just what happens. In that moment, which many of the players have been dreaming of their WHOLE lives, they don't think straight.
It was great, Seabs is in my small group so he bought his medal to the group on Tuesday. It is very heavy! Was great to hold it:D
