What would please you more?

Postby Moe » Thu Mar 07, 2013 9:03 am

If you could choose 1 of the teams you supported to win the premiership, which would it be?

Out of Geelong, Norwood or Morphy Parks, I would have said Morphy Parks 10 years ago when I was heavily involved.
I reckon I celebrated harder and faster when the cats won in 2007 & 09, and went bezerk when we beat the Pies in '11.

But, nothing pleased me more than the Redlegs flag last year, and since I have watched the old VHS replays of '75,'78,'82,'84 & '97 and felt the tingles, so for me, the answer would be Norwood.

well i was too young to enjoy glenelgs premierships. The cats flags were awesome, the long drought breaking. beating the saints was my highlight!

But i would gain more satisfaction watching glenelg win a flag. Needless to say i will never experience that!

If at the start of the year I was guaranteed 1 team to win the flag out of afl, sanfl or saafl... I'd take a Ramblers premiership every time

The choice is made trivial by the fact that I support only one team.

Id have to rate on a scale of droughts.

Hope Valley haven't won an A grade flag since 1994. Ive been at the club since 2004 and have watched us lose 3 A grade GF's and each time its harder to accept.

I think playing in an A grade premiership or watching my local club win an A grade flag would give me a little more satisfaction than a power or magpies premiership.

This will sound a bit defeatist, but looking back none of the 3 or 4 losing GF's I played in really burn in the guts, because in those games the other teams were genuinely comfortably better teams. The one I could have played in I was dropped for, but again that doesn't burn as my form deserved it partly due to not much of a challenge as we were that far better than any other team that year.

The ultimate would have been a Woodville one, 86 burns that we were so close, 87 burns that we faded so badly when we could have had a genuine shot, although we had won a number of close games so perhaps we were just hanging on.

Without a doubt the best one I've experienced was the Eagles in 2011. 2006 felt a little condenscending, a little bit of a consolation prize, after 4 losses. 1993 the second semi and first half of the GF were fantastic, the second half a bit anti-climactic.

As much as I want the Magpies to be successful and win at least one more flag in my lifetime so I can remember it forever, I want nothing more in my life than to win an A grade flag at NH, it's the number one goal of mine in life. Winning a flag in any grade or watching the A grade win a flag would be amazing aswell and would mean the world to me.

You left out 1993. No tingles then I guess.

Essendon flag for me. Everything else is nice and wholesome but no comparison.

Gotta say, playing in them was the best feeling and the nights that followed were amazing. The Crows haven't won a flag since I've been an adult though, so I don't know what those celebrations would be like.
