2009 Grand Final - Melbourne 23 def Eels 16 @ ANZ, Sun 4 Oct* NO PREMIERS

[muznik]

Great response.

Had a arguement with a guy from work today about this. He was calling us chokers etc....i said to him that was bs. The only reason people think that is because the grand finals are so fresh in peoples minds...if we had made 3 grand finals, say, over a 25 year period...then noone would say sh*t. The way i see it is we have played in 4 grand finals...and won 2...thats a 50% win rate, better than some teams. If we win this week...thats 3 from 5....in 11 years!!! not too shabby IMHO.

Have to agree, an envious record.

I wonder if they used the same company as the Queens did? Oh that's right, someone at the the Dragons denied it happened so it didn't happen....:sarcasm:

I wonder what 3rd world country they're going to be sent to when they lose.

I'm sure there are Storm Premiers shirts being made up as we speak, too.

It's a two-horse race now. Straight after the full-time siren, the fans of the winning team will want to get their hands on a shirt. Do you think these things just appear out of thin air?

As a long suffering Parramatta supporter who was there in 1986 and 2001, I don't want to get my hopes up too much - worried that last week was our GF - taking my 8 year old son who is a Storm supporter (go figure!), so one of us will be in tears on Sunday night. So proud of our team this year - please just one more win!

 

[natheel]

that loss to the dragons in round 26 was a blessing in disguise, it took pressure off us towin 12 straight...we had won 7 and knew we could do that so we only had 4 in a row to win thecomp from there on

Nah just parra shirts are being made because we're so arrogant.
If Melbourne win their shirts are going to be made a week after the grand final then sent back in time.

 

[parra-matters]

they make about 50-100 just for the team and support staff and a few to sell on the night, the losers ones get destroyed.

 

[Marshall_magic]

Don't be silly, everyone knows they are all made after full time :sarcasm:

Just a side note, I got my premier T-Shirt the day after the Grand Final in 2005, and it had 30-16 on the back. Obviously not all the shirts would have had this but I just found it a bit unusual.
