Embrace it boys. I was bleeding yesterday and earlier today but life goes on. I look back and see things like Carlton in the last rnd being 7goals down in the 3rd qtr against port in Adelaide (one of the best finishing sides in the comp) and they somehow comeback and win it. Otherwise we'd have played Adelaide. Then I think about McLean whose been a thorn in our side being a very late withdrawal and thinking "awesome" then his replacement Dugan who malthouse does not rate and refused to play all stuffing year... an honest defender... kicks a career high 4 in front of the biggest elimination final crowd. Then the stuff about playing and losing to the team that ironically finished 9th and played finals. You couldn't write this poo. I'm not going to fight it anymore, this has gotta be scripted so I'm just going to see where it ends up.
