i feel much more warm and relaxed knowing we are going to lose

it's a conditioning thing

it's quite terrifying when we win. i get all these strange thoughts and quite delusional

no, i'll be very happy, quite looking forward to a jolly good thrashing

go bears, bring it on

I don't think I'd go to another game for the year. I know that we all hate losing but I'm genuinely sick of having my weekend ruined. I think that if we lose this week it'll be the nail in the coffin and we'll finish last. If we win, it could snowball into something better...but we say that after every win. 4 wins after round 15, I'm just kind of over it.

If we lose, I'm going to make an effort to cut out Melbourne for a few weeks. I don't care if they win during that period. I'll just go out during the game and leave my phone at home, and just enjoy myself.

I've forgotten what it feels like to actually *enjoy* watching my team. And I've forgotten what it feels like to go to a game *knowing* they're a very high certainty of winning. I haven't felt that since 2005, 2006.

I don't want to boycott this team but I think that it would be good for me. I'm seriously devastated every time they lose when I go in knowing they can win if they have a genuine crack. Last Saturday actually ruined my weekend. And my girlfriend's the same. It literally puts a strain on our relationship. We look forward to this [censored] every week and we go in excited and plan our day around it, and then we end up fighting lol

If we lose this week and not win another game, all the teams below us will start tanking to ensure we don't get a top 2 or 3 pick.

So we'll end the season disgracefully but yet not improve our draft position.

If Brisbane wins, that would suggest they're not tanking. Our percentage is not great and if we lose every remaining game and even snag a win, it would drop and we'd freefall.

We're paying $26 for the spoon, $11 for 17th, and $7 for 16th. They are all amazing odds that I'll jump on if we lose this weekend.

Put 50 on each. Where did you get the odds?

Not renew my membership until they win 14 games in a single season.

I would be happy with consecutive wins :-(. Easy to please.

Same as you praha, for my own sake not watch another game. The sad thing is two of my kids will be on the ground for the Berry Street guard of honour, and I have just taken the odds of $11 for Brisbane by 40+. I am trying to be so excited for my kids, but it is so hard as I have a bad bad feeling about this game.

Hedge your bets people, its dirty money, but compensation needed if the worst case arises.

FWIW we'll win, Hogan will kick a bag.

I shall give myself a jolly good Flogging!

Has it ever occurred to you BBO that these 'threats' are exactly the reason we keep losing?

The players may be throwing games just to see you [censored] yourself.

    The premiership defender had his best year yet as he was given the opportunity to move into the midfield and made a good fist of it.

    Veteran Demonland Trackwatchers Kev Martin, Slartibartfast & Demon Wheels were on hand at Gosch's Paddock to kick off the official first training session for the 1st to 4th year players with a few elder statesmen in attendance as well.

Looks like the leadership group is TMac, Viney Chandler and Petty. They look like they have sli

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.

    Once again the club’s top goal scorer but he had a few uncharacteristic flat spots during the season and the club will be looking for much better from him in 2025.

    After sustaining a torn ACL in the final match of the 2023 season Jake added a bit to the attack late in the 2024 season upon his return.

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.
