GAMEDAY: Rd 08 vs Gold Coast

[buck_nekkid 5,861]

OK, its here.  I think this is a really important one.  Have we ‘turned the corner’ or was the hawks game just a blip?  How we play and getting the chokkies is so important today.

Channeling 2016 and 2017:

We'll be given a run in the first half and then smash it open in the second. I will still be annoyed and mostly bored.

[Nelo 813]

Expecting a close game. GC have been pretty competitive all year. Dees by 72. 

[Graeme Yeats' Mullet 6,775]

I'm tipping it'll be painful to watch

[What 18,810]

First game all season ive been confident of a win.   Called the Round  1 loss to Port unfortunately.

We will win by 10 goals minimum today and continue our road back from 1-5 all the way to a deep finals run

Scrappy game to the point where I’ll be wanting to gouge my eyes out with a butter knife. 

Suns by 17 points. 

Season red rover. 

[Bring-Back-Powell 14,834]

Suns have rightly been given credit for their start to the season. However, they are 3-4 with a percentage of 76 compared to same round last year (3-4, 81%) when we played them. 

So a loss here would demonstrate how dramatically we’ve fallen off the cliff.

With that being said, we should be winning this one.

[Sideshow Bob 2,386]

Serious danger game..... should win comfortably.... either we lose by 10 or win by ? 

 

not even game to predict which one!

 

 

[JV7 2,351]

Always tough these games, win & it’s “oh only GC”. Lose and it’s “how bad losing to GC” We simply must just bank the 4 points to keep the season alive, try keep building on 2 wins a row and keep this season alive. A loss and it’s curtains obviously

Well I have no idea what to expect. I don't have foxtel so can't watch it at home so will be checking the scores. I hate listening to game on the radio when you can't see what is happening. 

But I expect to win, I hope we do and there are no injuries. 

[Moonshadow 17,676]

Gold Coast by 24 points

Don’t be too down if GCS win, they are a very improved side however if we show up we will be good enough.

[Mickey 4,684]

GC getting a few good players back and up there, it'll be tough. Think we will get done by 3-4 goals

[sisso 2,580]

We should get the job done in a scrappy game by about 20 points. Similar to the Sydney game 

[Lucifers Hero 39,812]

I predict that if we lose watch the 'Sack Everyone...', and 'Sack X' threads be resurrected with a vengeance!

In which case a self imposed holiday from DL for a few days to avoid the meltdowns will be a good idea.

Dees by 10 points, perhaps. With OMac in, might have to concede the game to the GC, with runners sneaking in behind him for shots  at their goals - often. If Omac comes off for the bench, a 20 point win to the Dees. 

[Bitter but optimistic 22,241]

As I'm confident of a  win I would have loved to escape the chill by going north to watch this game. However, as there is something of a cash flow crisis at The Manor, I shall settle for the big screen.

For once let’s support the team regardless 56. OMac bashing 5 hours before the bounce hey? Let’s at least wait until 5 minutes into the game before it commences. 

Not sure how many times we have to read about how useless he is to some.

C’mon Demons!

He’s not alone- most key forwards are struggling - ? New rules.

Win or lose today I don't think will mean much. Wet coke, GWS, Adelaide and the filth. Given our form we would be lucky to win one of them.

Yeah i dont know.....on paper yes but i think West Coast are not traveling all that well in 10th spot and falling, ......Pies are beatable, as are Adelaide. GWS shaping as the hardest of the 4. Today will go a ways to indicate further how we may fair...

For next 4 weeks I'm going to be taking a uni course at RMIT and will be finishing today about 5 mins before the ball is bounced. Most likely gonna have to duck in to one of those terrible Lygon pubs..

Anyhoo, yeah big game but let's face it they all are from here on in. Not flashing forward or jumping ahead in my mind just looking forward to finishing today and seeing me some red and blue go around.
