GAMEDAY - Round 2, 2016

[Whispering_Jack 29,326]

I'm sailing on the Yellow Sea somewhere between South Korea and China but my thoughts later today will be focused on the G.

Go Dees.

[Clayton van Oliver 1,811]

I'm sailing on the River Maas between Rotterdam and Antwerp and shall be doing likewise around 5am. Not as exotic but go Dees. 

[Vagg 2,437]

I'm sailing on the river of dreams, somewhere between Nirvana & Ecstacy, anticipating a great Dees victory!

[Cards13 9,117]

I'm sailing on a sea of cheese with Jerry the race car driver.

[Nasher 33,607]

Well I did all my literal sailing weeks ago, and I'm too uncreative to come up with figurative sailing metaphors, so I'm on solid ground and very excited for this game. I can't remember the last time we were so overwhelmingly stronger than the opposition, this is a great opportunity to really add confidence and really get some momentum going. Can't wait!

[Emerald 1,744]

I'm sailing the Yarra River,shall disembark at Fed Square for a chuckle at the Essendon wankfest then I shall proceed to the G to watch the Dees broadside the cheats.

[Louie 39]

I'm in San Francisco and will be heading to bed happy tonight after we smash Essundone.  No chance we lose this. 

[CBDees 3,165]

I'm pacing around the "G" waiting for the gates to open in two hours.

[Skuit 10,002]

Just as Sailing Demon arrives back on terra firma. Melbourne shortest priced odds for the round. Bizzaro world.

[whatwhat say what 22,309]

i'm sailing the sea of terror of losing.

 

7.13.55 to 10.3.63 with daniher booting 5 straight, including 3 from outside 50. i can just see it happening and it scares the bejesus out of me.

[daisycutter 29,429]

 

 

 

 

 

 

[In Harmes Way 7,716]

I thought we all went skiing.

go dees

[Moneider96 1,045]

I hope we get the first goal in the game. Forget about winning two in a row, when was the last time we did that?

Agree,

he is such a spider that bloke,but hopefully they have learnt from last year and can interrupt his run.

You that bloke over there with 7 0r 8  smokes in your mouth?

[Lucifers Hero 39,045]

I would like to see Tom Mc (legally) push Daniher around a bit in the first 10 minutes. 

Firstly, for having the temerity to kick so well in the last game and secondly to show him who is boss for the next 10 years!

And a little help from Tom's friends to accidently bump into him a few times early on, won't go astray! 

That is what the Hawks do - take no prisoners.

Edit:   Hope it rains on their silly 'parade'.

Just give them a belting, Dees.  No mucking around.  No allowing them the first clearance and a frustrating first goal to a nobody like Orazio Fantasia.  

Just get in there, push them around and belt the living suitcase out of them so we can go 2-0 and go in with confidence against those soft Shinboners in Round 3.

Dees by 55.

[Ted Lasso 18,910]

Really excited for today! should be another positive day for the club

[Gorgoroth 12,751]

I'm staying in the country area today, going to clean the house and fix a fence to occupy my mind until the bounce. Nervous.

Well, you know they're going to try the same thing with Hogan. But probably not "legally".

And Watts. And Brayshaw, Oliver, Harmes.

The leopard doesn't change its spots. Worsfold was a thug of old and it's their only chance of getting over us.

Give 'em a taste of their own medicine. (And then bury them.)

[DemonWheels 1,010]

Big day for our footy club - as much as Essendon will make this all about them and their past / future we need to take the next big step in our own rebuild and win 2 games in a row AND win well against a depleted opposition with all of our players contributing evenly with a stack of goals and highlights so I can watch the replay 4 times in the next week like I did with the Rd 1 win. Go Dees.

[45HG 1,539]

I wasn't nervous about this game until I read this thread.

Just start the game already!

[dees189227 12,295]

I will feel more nervous come game time. In the past melbourne havent been able to cope being the favourites. Today we are. I feared last year Daniher would finally kick straight and he did. But I feel this year we are a different team and obviously we are with the new players. 

It would just be a massive disaster if we drop todays game after our good win last week. Plus could you just imagine the hysteria amongst the essenscum fans. They would be feeling confident today that they have a chance. 

If the right melbourne shows up we should be sitting pretty at 3/4 time and enjoy the last quarter. We need to thrash them today.

If we gift them the win by 8 points, I blame you.
