GAME DAY - Round 9

[Josh 1,420]

I'm camping at Winton V8's and it's too cold to sleep (should have listened to wife and brought an extra blanket) so I'll start game day.

Hopefully we learnt out lesson agianst Essendon and just get the job done today, 4 points is a non negotiable.

Brisbanes leading goalkicker is Zorko with 12, their next best has 7.  Their leading possession getter is Dayne Beams with 24 per game.. hes out today.  They hardly have anyone that can find the ball.

if we dont win by at least 10 goals Ill be disappointed.

[Sideshow Bob 2,156]

All the hallmarks of a danger game here. Raging favourite, 'weak' opposition who have copped a pasteing in the media and selection table, playing away from their warm home in the cold MCG. 

Unfortunately we're not good enough to go in half arsed and win by 10 goals as the Hawthorns and Geelongs have done to us over the last decade. Thankfully the boys learnt that lesson against the Bombers already - we hope! 

Treat them lightly and not bring our A game we might be in trouble. Bring our A game and hunt the ball as we have been and we win... well

[Whispering_Jack 27,960]

I am almost as confident of a big Demon victory today as I was about seven weeks ago when we played the Bombers. ?

[John Crow Batty 8,252]

I have a feeling of unreasonable confidence. 

[Gorgoroth 12,308]

I'm trying not to think about it. I should be confident but i follow melbourne...

Now Im nervous.   Damn it

[deeflog 679]

Im very confident going into today's game

There is no way roosy will let what happened against the bombers happen again

Minimum 10 goal win today

[Atholwebb 110]

Newton and Dunn are both emergencies and apparently did not play with Casey yesterday. Seems like there is going to be a change. Could it be Tyson who had back issues during the week?

It can stem from an inability to mature properly and form adult relationships.

But this is not the time or place to discuss it.

[Monocology 1,108]

I'll see your 10 goals and raise you 14. 

Put them to the sword, stay in hunt for 8.

Unfortunately that sums the matter up perfectly

I was confident we'd win but cautious. Today I am just confident.

I loss would be a far bigger indictment on the team's progress and improvement than the Essendon loss. This Brisbane team is much, much worse than any team Essendon has fielded this year.

[Eelesie 216]

I'm heading to the 'G today, so I'd like to break a losing streak when I go t games that runs back to 2006!

Hey Bitters, Just what warming benefits does getting" cold shoulder" (as I usually get from the wife) provide one? 

Perhaps I need to try a different wife.

[Nasher 33,047]

We used up our one "we didn't come to play" (I miss Danners) for the year on Essendon.  The boys bring that up all the time in their interviews - hopefully it still stings and we come out breathing fire.  We'll smash them if we do.

[Nasher 33,047]

If we can get it done by over 100 points, we will finish the round in the 8.  Not getting ahead of myself though of course

Last season it happened at least three times. That was  a serious abuse of the players "didn't come to play" allowance. Can't trust the players not to take advantage again.

When was the last time we won as favourites?? Seriously I can't remember, nearly all our wins for the past few years we are rank outsiders !

I have heard that Tyson is the reason for the two emergencies.
