More reason for Geebung to win PF1, so we stop indulging in this madness.

There is no GF curse. Yes we’ve lost a few but we’ve won two in 30 years and that’s two more than many clubs. I’d still rather make it than not.

The best news is that I won’t be attending the GF this year if we make it. My ticket will be going to one of my kids whose never attended a GF.

I was there in 1990 yes, however I also attended in 2002, 2003, 2010 Draw, 2011 and last year. Yes, you guessed it, I didn’t go to the replay in 2010.

My son was born in 2010 and I got a new job around the same time. Well I got a new job and my daughter was born 4 days ago :).

Our GF record in the last 80 years is appalling, unfortunately. (And other clubs that don't even make GFs are irrelevant to whether it exists or not.)

I did the 2010 draw, like you didn't go to the replay, then went to 2011.

I'm not even going in the ballot, I'll be watching at home where I watched us win 1990 and 2010

Can’t really see how it’s a curse though.

Yeah, someone insisted in the old GF Curse thread that "curse" must mean a supernatural cause (but someone else insisted that the GF Curse was supernatural), but "curse" has a more general meaning too. :o

With our GF record I’ll take anything positive

I like the fact that we have made back to back GF since the current finals system was introduced.
