Grand Final Day Routines

I know it's been 8 years since we've had to prepare on Grand Final day and it seems a lot of the members didn't go through any of the 80's days, but did you guys have any rituals/routines for today? I've watched all of the the Eels Grand Final days and have always been confident, but today I'm nervous as hell and looking for some ways to settle the nerves ...

  • I've had my baked beans and eggs (to deal with the beers at the game). I've layed out my jersey (1986 jersey for luck) and scarf. Ground up some beans and made a coffee. I've then got my son sorted with his eels shirt, shorts and jacket.

    And now I'm just watching some parra footage on you tube. trying to keep the nerves settled, but my left leg keeps tapping. Then it'll be off to the station to get to the game... so pretty much just trying to keep myself busy. But the goosebumps have already started. I'd hate to think what the players are feeling right now.

    just got yelled at by the wife for not covering the stuff in the microwave... I' VE GOT OTHER THINGS ON MY MIND!!!

    C'MON PARRA!!!!!!
    • My boy and I have layed out all our parra gear and are trying to select what we're going to wear ... more stress! Arrr - hurry up 5.15pm.
  • I've only been alive for the 1 Grand final (2001), but in preparation, I'll be watching all the DVDs of the 81, 82, 83, and 86 Grand final wins :D

Don't get me wrong, he's a great player and is godly at the club level, but he just hasn't been able to stand out at the origin level.
Also a half's job is…"
