2 days until the game

i was hoping for more time before I have to watch the Dees play again

[Wrecker45 3,378]

We will win this and change the tragectory of the season.

Small grounds suit us, until we adapt to the 6-6-6  rule. We were better on smaller grounds last year before the AFL changed the rules and unfairly lessened our recruitment strategy of competitive beasts.

 

[La Dee-vina Comedia 16,687]

As a rule, I really dislike Thursday night football. I hope this week I can make an exception.

Lose it and its light out for 2019.   We aren't coming back from 0-4 especially with our tough draw.

I'm with you. If this was at the G It would be a certain loss,  but I have a feeling the SCG will suit us due to lack of open space. They are only slightly quicker than us if at all so pace won't destroy us like Essendon did. 

[The Stigga 1,090]

We'll win this.

Smaller ground, one day extra break.

McVeigh a big loss. Hayward as well, makes them need to go to Buddy more.

Let the system go... just play and enjoy.

[JV7 2,350]

Went looking for the odds with betting agencies absolutely staggered to see most have the odds around the mark or Swans $1.75 to Dees $2.10.

I was hoping for some $3 plus value on us. My feelings before each game has come to fruition this year but I’m confident of a win this week... Maybe more hoping because I’ll be up there

You think that's a good thing for us?

[Diamond_Jim 12,527]

Pre season I thought this game would be our first big test of the season.

Now...

Yep, even more predictable than it already is.

See Carlton last week.

 

[beelzebub 23,313]

I'm not sure any ground particularly suits us especially a smaller ground against very quick opposition.

Just imagine ( painful as it is ) just how quickly Sydney can go coast to coast on their beloved turf ( non-lawn, paddock ) ??

From extended kickins..quick flick to Buddy... goodnight Irene.

This is a monumental blood bath in the making.Fun days ahead. 

 

[Lucifers Hero 39,507]

Not sure why folks think SCG is a 'small ground':  155m L x 136m W. 

As a reminder:  Round 2, 2019 @ gmha:  170m L x 115m W.  We lost by 80 points.

It is the wider grounds that trouble us because opp spread wide and stretch our defences on the outside.  SCG has more room for this play than gmha had.  If we can't win on a ground that is 115m wide I can't see it happening on one that is 20m wider.

I’m mates with a bloke who is a pro punter (alberit on horses and dogs) and he has had a massive bet on us @2.20

seems unders to me.

How many of the people saying we are certainties this week tipped against us the past three weeks?

Certainties to win...or lose lol . Just asking.

I reckon we're a dead set cert this week

[dl4e 5,851]

We will beat Sydney. Franklin will run Frost into form.?

[Forest Demon 4,681]

I think we will win this one on the smaller ground, but then lose to St Kilda at the G next week.

Have a sneaky suspicion it might be the other way round

Am expecting a masterclass from buddy on Thursday... who's going to stop him ?

[Jaded No More 68,855]

I have a feeling I’ll be crying into my wine by quarter time as Buddy kicks his 17th goal.

I think I am correct in saying that Buddy hasn’t played in a loosing team against Melbourne. Time to break another Hoodoo DEES ?

Alir Alir will have a field day picking off our i50 entries!

I too have a bad feeling he is due for a big game.
