GAME DAY - Round 8

[Whispering_Jack 30,239]

There is a tide in the affairs of men.

Which, taken at the flood, leads on to fortune;

Omitted, all the voyage of their life

Is bound in shallows and in miseries.

On such a full sea are we now afloat,

And we must take the current when it serves,

Or lose our ventures. ~ Brutus, Julius Caesar Act 4, Scene 3 by William Shakespeare

Thank you WJ. All these years, I thought it was time not tide. I guess I have never seem it written before.

I'll go down in a "tide" of alcohol if I have to endure another capitulation this afternoon

I'll go down in a "tide" of alcohol if we happen to knock them over.

Win win situation!

[Biffen 12,944]

Bitters and Moonie are attending today but despite this drawback, I thought I might go in.

Speaking all things Gaius and Brutus- I do hope Bbo enters the arena wearing pants, not toga.

They say every dog has it's day but this is the one they get hit by a truck then put outside in the rain to suffer.

I have consulted the

Omens- the soothsayers- the bookies.

Dees by 13 points.

Have to admit. I'm nervous about this game.

We played the bulldogs twice last year for two close loses. Both games I think we should have beaten them but felt they got lucky.

Since then they have lost a lot of senior players and their coach. Yet they have improved.

The past 3 weeks we have played 3 very good teams and have been smashed each time. We should be able to put up a good fight. But will we?

I fear that we will go into our shells and get belted. If we do cop another belting, serious questions will need to be asked. And I dont think we will like the answers.

Nervous? I'm terrified.

[Biffen 12,944]

I like your post. The reason I like it is because you have 'liked' your own post.

An error of fingering.

But self liking is in.

[Moneider96 1,045]

Wayne Carey tipped us and Cambel Brown didn't. We've got this in the bag.

Oh, and thanks for the tip Biff!

The fungal infection is acting up again so (for the sake of those nearby) I will not wear sandals. It follows then that I shall leave the toga in the "Roman" room at Romsey Manor.

[praha 11,240]

Petrified.

I could handle a tight loss but if we get belted, I'll put the cue in the rack for the year.

This match has a similar feeling to the GWS one at the MCG last season.

We promise according to our hopes and perform according to our feàrs..according to some french philosopher....

Lets hopes Dees are full of hope and fearless today.

I like Vince on the Bont, VB in the guts. If there's any chance we can play with some intensity we are a chance, whilst there's some passengers in the side there's enough talent out there to win if they play as they're instructed to.

[Bombay Airconditioning 6,400]

If anyone didn't see the Burgoyne tackle last night do yourself a favour. The best thing about was ITS IN THE BLOODY RULES. We are a pathetic tackling side, when an effective tackle is laid the player being tackled should be able to dispose of the ball.

Cant sleep. Clown will eat me.

Honestly, it wasn't that great. It just looked good cause he smashed the ball out of the sydney players hands.

Armitage's tackle on Masten yesterday is a better example

He went so hard that Masten couldn't get up again

[Gorgoroth 12,972]

I'm not looking forward to today, for the first time in my life I have stopped enjoying going.

[S.R.J 418]

Unfortunately I think we will be fisted about as hard as a new prisoner sharing a cell with big bad bubba. Not going to be pretty.

[What 18,810]

I like Vince on the Bont,

We need Vince playing an attacking role, but we may have no choice but to use him as a stopper again.

[JV7 2,351]

I'm usually very pessimistic.. Go into most games preparing for the worst. I have a good feeling about today, had the same feeling for round one. Just think the boys will show something, the outs we have don't help but the been at the G is a help, dogs only play there couple times a year although they won earlier in the year against the tiges which turns out too to be no mean feat.. Big game for us really, the different between been 3-5 or 2-6 is huge just for the clubs moral. Tipping the dees by 11 points

[Sir Why You Little 37,052]

Players better show some balls of steel after Neale Daniher spoke to them this week

[Bang Bang Bang 5,826]

I looked at our side on paper before the Gold Coast and Richmond games and thought "We can win this."

I looked at our side on paper against the Hawks and thought "We will get flogged." (Especially after looking at theirs)

I look at the side now, and still see 6-7 players that find AFL level difficult, putting it nicely. I think we're in for a tough day.
