If we beat Richmond I will?

[Rodney (Balls) Grinter 10,579]

Haven't seen one of these in a while, so I thought I'd throw one in for fun.

Whilst I'd admit that a victory against the Tigers would appear to be unlikely, stranger things have happened in sport.  Is it the mix of players we presently have in?  Is it confidence?  Is it system?  Fitness and work rate?  Or all and the above?

Watching the game last week, in the periods of the first half when we were still the game that we dominated general play, but I felt that we somewhat over used the ball across half forward by hand in an effort to create the perfect forward 50 entry and then subsequently fumbled or otherwise turned it over.  Well doucmented that when entering forward 50, we just couldn't take a mark or find a crumb.  Let's not even bother talking about defense.  However all these problems are fixable, we still have a great midfield and dominate the forward 50 entries for the most part and at some point the worm had got to turn doesn't it?

Anyway if we beat Richmond tonight, I'm having a beer or two in celebration and I'm hoping a few other Demonlanders might join me in that gesture.

...wake up and realise I was dreaming. 

Part of me doesn’t even want to go tonight. Feels Like going to see your ex so she can explain more fully why she left. 

[Winners at last 4,715]

... have lost $200. (I put a bet on Richmond.)

[Bitter but optimistic 21,235]

I shall give the maid a memorable rollicking.

[3183 Dee 2,602]

Be very fookin surprised.

[At the break of Gawn 3,486]

Fall into a false sense of optimism again.

To counter this, after tonight’s game, regardless of result, I’m not going to another game this year unless we have won our previous 2 going into it.

[TRIGON 4,715]

...wonder what’s wrong with Richmond.

[In Harmes Way 7,492]

Buy a grand final guarantee?

Forgot, I’ve already got three which I’m happy to sell cheap

[Demons11 6,404]

Flick SEN back on tomorrow and watch all footy shows again. 

[Moonshadow 16,161]

Bare my rrrse in Bourke St.

Won't happen 

[jane02 3,320]

Will wear a Collingwood scarf at the Anzac Day game tomorrow and buy a Mason Cox and Jeremy Howe badge.

 

[Age 381]

Get my #sackgoodwin tattoo changed to #goodwin4life

[Fugazi 53]

i will.... believe that miracles CAN happen. 

[Mental Demons 136]

If we beat Richmond, I will think they had a bet on at great odds.

[Deemented Are Go! 3,602]

I’d say it would be time to crack open everyone on Demonland’s skulls and feast on the grey goo inside.

[Sargent Shultz 259]

rip up the $50 I put on Richmond winning by 40 plus points - got 4:1

Hope I don't collect

[dl4e 5,583]

More coopers pale ale.

[ding 5,126]

I will....... believe that match-fixing is alive and well.

[Sir Why You Little 34,430]

Be jacked off we didn’t do the same last Saturday...

[GCDee 3,006]

Wouldn't really be surprised... I'm still waiting waiting for the boys to turn up this season 

[La Dee-vina Comedia 16,394]

I will wonder on the train home what execrable pun the Herald Sun will use in its headline to describe the game.

   Had to reply,  this is so close to the mark !    Don't really want to watch and TLOML  thinks I am stupid for doing so, but you have to !

 

but I will go to church with my Mother in Law,  a big ask, but she and my wife will like it and my feet will not be on the ground.  

GO  DEES !!!!!

More like so she can kick you in the balls and spit in your face.

[Little Goffy 12,554]

Will hold on tight for the white-knuckle ride to see if we can claw together enough wins to still be relevant by mid-season, by which time we'll have Smith, Lever, Vandenberg, Hannan and hopefully May all back. 5 players I'd all want in right now purely on type and role, all of whom would be directly replacing a serious underperformer. Makes the second half of this season a whole different proposition.

OR

If we beat the Tigers tonight, I'd have to believe that we could beat the Hawks next week and the Suns the week after. And then we'd be 4-4 after round 8 and anything is possible again.

Aye, the delusions are back, doctor.

Classic you, SWYL.

In a thread designed for some optimistic happiness, you've managed to find a pessimistic take regardless.
