The store was well and truly caught up in Finals Fever..
Everyone came out of the closet as St.Kilda fans,
even if they had never watched a game of footy in their life.
I write here from experience.
Our community was entwined in a great feeling of togetherness.
I write this 'Post' with the help of the weekends text messages..

Over the AFL Garnd final week end the match between the 'Saints' and the 'Cats'
emptied Elwood, Balaclava and the streets of St.Kilda.
If you were not at the MCG
then you were in front of a telly somewhere...

The weather was wild, the roof of the store leaked in 3 places
I was in constant contact with those I knew at the match..
The die hard fans of St.Kilda....

Nada and I watched the match
by the warmth of Nada's fire
eating cheese and mustard on toast and drinking ginger tea...
Yep, we are hard core!
Tony was at another party around the corner
but we couldnt leave the warmth of the fire
to get there..
Jacqui was in Fiji, she doent live over this side of the hood!
We were all in constant contact though..

Nada and I donned our umbrellas and walked down into St.Kilda
past the store to eat some chocolate covered almonds as a pick me up.
It began to hail, I worried about the roof
and looked up into the heavens..
Ahh! Saint Kilda's revenge, Hail !
I suddenly was overcome with a sense of beautiful sadness..
26.09.09 6:04
Me too. Go saints.
Blessings on st kilda.
Praise be our
gorgeous team, u me
and our possie. X

and walked into the wet streets of our town hugging and helloing
people as we did so.
How lovely to be apart of Elwood and St.Kilda town.
