Yep, my heart was going one hundred miles an hour watching the game. Just the thought of the possible outcome did it for me I suppose.
I'll give Collingwood credit though, they absolutely immersed themselves and their supporters in the spirit of grand final week. Open training sessions, media, everything they did was inclusive and in the spirit of how a club should carry its supporters along with them.
Compare that with St Kilda and their closed sessions etc. Seriously, if the players dont know how to play now, they never will. For that reason alone, I'd like to see them get rolled. To show clubs that you can still be successful by making the journey as enjoyable for the supporters as the destination.
AFAIC, clubs have a responsibility to the game that goes beyond winning the match. Carltons interest in the GF sprint was indicative of where we're at.
