The Road to Adelaide Oval - Round 3

[DemonDave 1,080]

I'm flying over for this one. Not confident at all, given we've now seen how poor Gold Coast after their thrashing at the hands of the Saints, and how woeful we were after quarter time last week.

Still,looking forward to seeing the Adelaide Oval, do they have Coopers on tap at the ground, or only stinking West End Bitter?

Gold! Do they all have memberships?

Gregory{always wears sunglasses}does have a membership.

Stevie{alcoholic}doesnt bother with a membership,but still follows the club.

Serina{santanned and wealthy}has a membership for herself and her pet dogs{x3}

Just a reminder Sammy,today is slapstick wednesday.

With the best ruckman going around, and in form, a midfield of hardworking ball magnets, and Tex on the end of it, Adelaide are going to rip us to pieces. I can see the media feeding frenzy in the aftermath. I've tried to imagine other possibilities, and they are so unlikely as to be laughworthy. It's going to be an ugly few weeks for this club, lucky we're used to it!

Odds mean jack. What odds were the Saints and Bombers paying last week? Close $11-$12 combined.

Yeah right. The fact that the shortest odds for the premiership are listed as Hawthorn, Sydney, Freo and Port means 'jack' when predicting what is going to happen in September.

It's a mathematical concept called PROBABILITY and ours is very low this weekend

Go ahead and make some multis that are paying '$11-$12 combined' and see how many of them pay off

[hells bells 2,023]

I won't be watching this game. I'm very afraid...

[Ted Lasso 18,759]

Tommy Mac vs tex should be a fantastic contest

I can see the media feeding frenzy in the aftermath.

It will take the hiding of all hidings for the media to even raise an eyebrow.

In the coverage I saw this week, Melbourne's woeful second half hardly rated a mention. The only mentions I saw were from the perspective of the Giants' impressive display. The fact they did it against Melbourne was merely a footnote. The media have become as disengaged as a lot of the fans. Ineptness is expected.

The boys absolutely have to respond this week. It's at a point where I don't care if someone gets rubbed out. Statements need to be made.

Agreed, its a wonderful opportunity for Tom.

We are going to win this. The boys have had a timely reminder about the effort required to win, they'll bring their best game, have confidence from rolling them over there last year, and Adelaide have started drinking their own bathwater. Vince to play 80% of the game after blowing the cobwebs out, and Jonesy back to his industrious best after his worst ever game last week.

Looking forward to singing along to "Grand Old Flag" at the end.

really dislike the fact he is saying we played two good quarters last week. For starters, we didn't, but more importantly the game as a whole was such a disgrace the senior coach should not be shining any positive light on it all IMO

Someone on here said years ago that nothing is ever as good or as bad as it seems and I've come to believe it over time. I accept the possibility that we'll probably lose, but I never go in to a game expecting the absolute worst. I don't know how those that do cope for a whole season emotionally, personally.

That's a more eloquent, enlarged, and engorged version of 'relax, we've got this'...

We were truly putrid for that first half where we ended up 27 points in front at half time. Absolutely no positives to be taken that at all.

Its about your favourite players DD. Any chance you could find one that actually plays for us??

I am relaxed. Looking forward to seeing how we match it against the form side of the competition on their own dung hill.

You are the one that had a go at me for saying the GC game last year 'we were never in' after losing by 8 points...

We were leading by 27 points after your half of no positives...

It just didn't seem like something that you would write.

I was being a tad facetious. Felt like some of the doom and gloomers needed a morale boost. Take confidence from my lead or just laugh at my expense - I don't mind which.

Relax. We've got this.

Welcome to six posts ago.

(I'm starting to think I may have actually cracked...)

[Spirit of 26 261]

Won't happen. We'll have a real crack this week and get within at least 6 goals.

Just wondering why we didn't have a real crack last week?
