Round Three Predictions

[Maple Demon 449]

Being footy fans and keen Demonland posters, we all think we have at least a reasonable working knowledge of the great game of Aussie Rules.

How many times have we sat watching a game and thought to ourselves, or said to friends or family, I knew that was going to happen? And who doesn't like being right?

In this thread, I'd like us all to have a bit of fun predicting things that will happen during games, comments that will be made by the media, and any other amusing footy-related stuff. 

Over to you fellow Demonlanders....

[Maple Demon 449]

My first prediction is that the commentators tonight will fawn over Essendon and use the line "heroic effort" at least twice during the game.

As well, in each game at least one player will deliberately put the ball out of bounds and then exclaim his innocence when pinged for it, McAvaney will exclaim that we are witnessing something special, and a Selwood brother will end up wrapped up like a mummy.

[Ethan Tremblay 30,845]

Gut feeling that Essendon will win. As much as I would hate them to win, it would make last weeks loss the slightest bit easier to swallow. The slightest.

I hate to agree on this point, Ethan, but unfirtunately I do. By the end of the round, Essendon will be ahead of us on the ladder. Boy do I hope I'm wrong.

for those who don't yet know how crap us & Essendon are you'll find out tonite game will be over at quarter time 5+ Goal lead & win by 15 goals.

[Emerald 1,744]

The twilight zone will be over tonight and Essendon will be crap again.

I hope so.

Which player do people think will get the yips in front of goal this weekend? And one of our players doesn't count.

[Samael 560]

I am predicting that neither the bombers or port are god enough to beat each other and it will be a draw. Or Port will smash them.

[Ted Lasso 19,459]

Port are so overrated,

I think 'Bruce' will say something like,    "well he's always been good at kicking goals"  ah there ya go.

 

 

"and off a step"

[Maple Demon 449]

I also predict that one of the Channel 7 team will make a really bad attempt to speak Chinese with the game being broadcast into China.

[Bells 155]

Essendon are handing this win to Port.  A complete different team than we saw last week.

Port by a landslide.

[What 18,810]

Port playing exactly how we should have played last week and how every team will play vs the Bombers

Christ we are a dumb footy team

[jumbo returns 6,741]

Brad Johnson will gush (again) about what a great kick Josh Schache is and put the mocker on the poor kid (again)

[Wilson7 2,665]

Toumpas has been terrible, no awareness, turn over merchant

[Wilson7 2,665]

[Sir Why You Little 37,016]

Shame MFC Shame

Try some of the fermented fruit juice BBO likes. They say it helps to dull the pain.

Way off WAM. 'Twas a five goal lead a third of the game earlier than your crazy left-field suggestion.

It's not about dulling the pain Maple

it's about demanding a better effort from our "elite" football team. 

We all knew Essendrug was going to be sh!t

but we rolled over....

[rjay 24,910]

I think EFC have been getting ahead of themselves...obviously not taking Port seriously enough.
