GAMEDAY - Round 9

[Demonland 73,281]

I need a holiday or a win. 

[Chook 15,022]

Viney is back and demonland is no longer down.  This truly is a good day 

[BigFez 1,462]

Weather update in Melbourne?

[Mr Steve 3,820]

Any truth to the Oliver not playing rumour.

 

[Diamond_Jim 12,651]

50 point win today... hope it is stress free.

May be the only big win we get for a few weeks so I look forward to enjoying it

[Gorgoroth 13,145]

Ready to take a Valium...

[Crompton's the man 660]

Totally relaxed

 Nothing could go wrong 

[Salems Lot 2,667]

Can't get to this one; v disappointed.  Go JV and Da Boys.  Play like your spot depends on it.

 

[Guest]

We win the ones we should these days,  so expecting that we control most of  the game today.

Overcast and cool.  16 degish

 

[Wiseblood 24,637]

I hate Carlton.  The Curnow boys missing is huge though, and takes out their second best mid and their best forward to this point of the year.

They'll be up and about early, especially after their win last week, so it's up to us to weather the early storm and play the game on our terms.  Do that and we win comfortably.

Someone asked me that on Facebook. I can't find anything online.

Bitter is on route to an afternoon of bloodsport

To quote one almost as famous as my good self

He just handballs around anyway.....

[Young Blood 2,638]

I'm glad Viney is playing. I finally get to wear my creepy hunchback Viney socks

 

[whatwhat say what 23,132]

why am i always a nervous wreck before the games now that there's an expectation that we will win?

life was much easier when we were in the doldrums

[ding 5,126]

Demons by 10 goals plus.

Should be a totally one sided match. Viney back and the reserves putting heaps of pressure on the boys to perform, coupled with Carltanks outs have me supremely confident.

No nerves at all this week, just like last week.

[frankie_d 1,471]

Wet. Slippery. Messy football kind of day. I'm not used to this "expecting to win" thing...

 

[Wiseblood 24,637]

The Oliver rumour is untrue.

No final changes to either side.

I’ve noticed the same thing. The expectation pre-match makes me feel sick, but I embrace it. It’s still better than that overarching sense of impending doom.

I also found it really difficult watching to the end of the Hawks and Tiges games when we were playing poo. In the past I’d always watched to the end looking for some morsel of things to take out of the game, but when you know one or two minor acts aren’t going to cut for taking the edge off the smashing, that was really hard to take.

[Monocology 1,109]

Dees to destroy, Hawks to faulter - 4th spot & world peace across tomorrows newstands

 

[Rod Grinter Riot Squad 5,654]

The Blues always seem to do alright against us, have to give them a nice old belting this week, four points and some percentage would be great

 

[forever demons 2,262]

must win by at least ten goals to really prove a point and then be confident against a weaken crows mob next week
