It would be nice to see the dogs knock off the swans

Lions seem to have had a rough draw to start the year. 

- The 4 games so far vs Saints, Demons, Port and Tigers and

- 3 of 4 games intertsteate:  2 trips to Victoria and 1 to Adelaide. 

No wonder they've run out of puff.

Would like to see them win a few especially against the teams I really hate (have only moderate dislike for Lions which is the best I can give to any AFL side).

I don't think they're that bad, with talent. So on your post Re the tough draw, I wonder if in another say 6 weeks, IF they will have Regrouped? And win some of those games you mention.

 

I hope they do.

Weird thing was, the season where 186 happened (2011) wasn't even that bad in the scheme of things - we finished 12th with 8 wins and a draw. It was otherwise looking to be a reasonable development year under Bailey until the club did its best to self-destruct.

It was 2013 where the wheels completely and utterly fell off with two wins at 54%, which as ET said, was Fitzroy like.  

Gotta love reliving these great memories.

Very true. 

1-8-6 is indelibly written on my soul...

...which only a premiership can erase

I’d rather to have lost by 186 than never to have lost at all.

you might get away with that on the Collingwood forum ET but not here on the mensa board with all us Greek and Latin scholars

[What 18,810]

Kangaroos vs Carlton is on free to air....  geez.

It does not get any more boring and irrelevant than these two minnows playing each other.

you are such a romantic ET...

Hope Tmac is back in for buddy. Hes a mountain.

Aliir looks lost across half forward.

Stop trying to use Tasmania as a Victorian tip. We really don't want your rubbish.

What if we throw in St Kilda to sweeten the deal?

I would love to start a thread about the psychology. ...philosophy. ...sociological aspects of afl supporting.

Its interesting the tribal passion we have. Sometimes I wo der if it brings more unhappiness than joy but I guess on the whole it gives me much fun and entertainment.

Its great bonding now with my son which is a new dimension. 

Cant imagine not having it or following another team. Cant imagine winning a flag though. Would be awesome.

Time is going so slow, I just want North v Carlton to start already! So pumped.

a pity we don't have Bruce to call the game but I assume BT will make up for it

I know it. Have you ever looked forward so much to what promises to be a lousy game of footy?

[whatwhat say what 22,783]

dogs should be closer to the swans - so many missed set shots

It just gets better and better. 

Netflix will be the real winner. 

[daisycutter 29,621]

swans win, after being smashed on all the stats except hitouts

The Dogs small forward line seems to have gone to poo.

They should have won that but as they can't seem to fit a leading target within the 30 meter range, they usually have to ping at it off crumbs, spillages and sneaky leads in the forward pocket.

A big CHF or FF would help but their nine year investment is in the Magoos.

[Dee Zephyr 19,267]

Like him or not, McVeigh is such a pro in defence.

For anyone who's interested I can confirm it is a horrible night in Hobart, had to pedal my bike down the hills to get to work otherwise I would have been blown back up them.  Just sitting here listing to the rain belting down on the roof. Shame because yesterday was perfect weather for footy.  Anyhow, should make for an already terrible game to be even worse.

Just need north to get up to get my multi home.
