How do you feel 3 days before the GF?

[striker]

I am confident - reason: we have been in a GF before, at the same ground, there is no home team advantage (like against Sydney FC),  we have beaten Jest the last time we met, we have a better team, better coaches and the Mariner supporters a legends!

 

[brett]

I feel euphoric. I'm just loving this week. Soak it up folks.

 

[Atomic]

I'm all 4! But I have to admit being nervous most of all. The reason being is that I know playing Newcastle, more than any other team, will result in the highest of highs if we win and the lowest of lows if we lose.

 

[Marinerchick]

I'm excited i cannot wait but im a bit nervous and a tad scared because no one knows what those scum supporters could do

 

[skilbeck]

yeah I agree with Atomic I have all 4 emotions and how im feeling about it is constantly changing

 

[LFCMariners]

I'd say confident. PLaying the Jets in a Grand Final is like gambling- if you win, you win the JACKPOT. But if you lose, you've lost everything. On current form and the attitude the boys appear to have going into this weekend, I'm confident that we should win. The team doesn't sound phased or over-awed by the game ahead, they have the experience, and they have been playing very well since they defeated Wellington 2-0 in the final round. Even when we got beaten 2-0 by the Scum in the first week of the finals, we played at least as good as they did. Matthew Breeze won't be there this weekend, so I reckon the Mariners can do the full job.

I'm confident and nervous. Next week I'll be euphoric after we shoot down the jets.

im feeling confident, a bit nervous more so as kickoff draws closer - but i think we are the better team and deserve it more

 

[dannysgirl]

I'm just excited really. Win or lose it will be a great day, and we will all have fun. Cliche, I know but its true

 

[dru]

I'm excited at the moment, about to start the first leg of my trip for the game from Dysart to  Brisbane. Thats really all I'm feeling at the moment is excitment It's just going to be huge!

the excitment is probably a by product of all 4 options really

 

[Mini In Bay 6]

Nervous - I don't want another shitty bus ride home. 

 

[Drunken Rodent]

I'm angry. Angry that it is looking like there won't be a full stadium. This is the biggest game of the year. I can understand the reasons behind the FFA moving the venue, but what use is having a bigger venue if you price tickets in such a fleecing manner that it is impossible to attract neutral support. Atomosphere is never what it should be when you can stare at empty bays.

Other then that I'm confident we have the experience to outlast the scum.

 

[Deej]

nervous - the game can go either way.

Sure we won the last game, confidence there for the boys, but they have had the better of us for the past 2 seasons? Form and history goes out the window at 5pm, our players have been there to experience it before, they have a handful of players with finals history (Spencer, Durante and North).  We'll be looking at Sash, Aloisi, Vidmar etc to step up and take control as they will for players like Covic and Griffiths.  

It's so hard to predict which way it will go, I believe we have the experience, they perhaps don't and how their senior players will handle the nerves is a big question.

First goal will win it

 

[bikinigirl]

. i think most empty seats will be in the scgt members area , somebody mentioned something about a cricket game at the same time :

. maybe they will duck out for a couple of hours football

 

[marinersman]

I'm eurphoric.

Being in a GF is something to savour and enjoy. I think we should all enjoy this week above all else.

Who knows when we'll be in a GF next, the margins between the sides are just so fine, no club can expect a GF appearance any season.

Soak it up folks. It doesn't get much better than this week.

 

[mustapha_beer]

Confident, but nervous kinda sums it up for me too.....my guts start churning every time I think about the final.

I know I should be enjoying the build up, but I just want the afternoon to arrive and see the boys do the business. We normally go for a meal before the game, but I'm not sure I'm going to have much of an appetite!

 

[Aden]

umm well  all 4..  but prob scared most..  not because i underestimate the boys but im always like thsi even against pheonix  in pre season cup  haha.. but agaisnt jets im just scared cuz i dont want them to win anythin i cannot stand them .. im more pissed off bout the whole traffic and the way FFA organized this whole event

 

[Alicia]

[poetryintheblood]

Nervous naturally, but so ready for this, I want to shut the scum and f***wits like Craig Forster up so badly, winning for us would be awesome, as we deserve it, but I truly want it mostly to show those who think we're sh** that The Coast holds a lot of talent, and that our boys are family, and we as that defend them to the end. GOOOOO MARINERSSSSS.
