Quotes to get us pumped for finals!

[yadie05]

I'm a bit of a poet believer, i recon that the boys would all have a song or a quote that pumps them up before a game. I found a few at work, thought I would put them on, see wat u chickies think!

( I think this first one suits our boys to a tee goin in to finals )

" If you could get up the courage to begin, you have the courage to succeed "

" Life is 10% of how you make it, and 90% of how you take it "

If you can't make waves... Make Ripples

I'll have to get the rest outta my books at home lol but thats some to start with...

To live the ultimate dream... You must face the Ultimate Nightmare...

Go the extra Mile... Its never crowded.

OK... There's aren't my best ones... But there just some of the few that have been handed to me in the past...

It doesn’t matter where you begin, only where you finish

I love the winning, I can take the losing, but most of all I love to play.

You have to expect things of yourself before you can do them.

Do not let what you cannot do interfere with what you can do.

Play every game like it's the last one you're going to play.

The vision of a champion is someone who is bent over, drenched in sweat, at the point of exhaustion when no one else is watching.

Speed is a skill... We are what we repeatedly do... Excellence CAN become a habit.

It's not necessarily the amount of time you spend at training that counts; it's what you put into the training.

There are no great people in this world, only great challenges which ordinary people rise to meet.

The greatest pleasure in life is doing what people say you cannot do.


That will do for now... I'll stop boring you to pieces

I promise this is the least one... This was given to me by the great Debbie Flintoff-King...

When things go wrong, as they sometimes will,
When the road you're trudging seems all uphill,
When the funds are low and the debts are high,
And you want to smile, but you have to sigh,
When care is pressing you down a bit-
Rest if you must, but don't you quit.
Life is queer with it's twists and turns,
As every one of us sometimes learns,
And many a person turns about,
When they might have won had they stuck it out.
Don't give up though the pace seems slow-
You may succeed with another blow.
Often the struggler has given up,
When he might have captured the victor's cup;
And he learned too late when the night came down,
How close he was to the golden crown,
Success is failure turned inside out-
So stick to the fight with your hardest hit-
Its when things seem worst that you mustn't quit!

[Sam]

There are two ways of meeting difficulties, you alter the difficulties or you alter yourself to meet them.

You get in life what you have the courage to ask for.

Character cannot be developed in ease and quiet. Only through experience of trial and suffering can the soul be strengthened, ambition inspired, and success achieved.

Life is a succession of lessons that must be lived to be understood.

Obstacles are necessary for success because victory comes only after many struggles and countless defeats. Yet each struggle, each defeat, sharpens your skills and strengths, your courage and your endurance, your ability and your confidence, and thus each obstacle is a comrade-in-arms forcing you to become better...or quit. Each rebuff is an opportunity to move forward; turn away from them, avoid them, and you throw away your future.

Strength does not come from physical capacity. It comes from an indomitable will.

You gain strength, courage and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You are able to say to yourself, "I lived through this horror. I can take the next thing that comes along." . . . You must do the thing you think you cannot do.

The harder you work, the harder it is to surrender

Be the best you can be...No More! No Less! No Excuses!!!

By Failing to Prepare YOU are Preparing to Fail

The Loser says: "It may be possible, but it's too difficult" ... The Winner says: "It may be difficult, but it's possible"

listening to the game... "we're gonna need a bigger boat"

Especially with Freo, WCE, St. Kilda and Adelaide in the top four and Sydney back in form. We're stuffed.

[yadie05]

shame saints didnt make the top four????
we were highest melbourne team think that says somethin doesnt it.

[melissa]

sorry folks and blokes, i was a bit down there, wasn't I? Great last quarter. If the boys can play like that for four quarters regardless of the opposition we'll make it. They just have to believe they can do it.
