GAME DAY - Round 8



Recommended Posts

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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.

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the
