GAMEDAY: Rd 06 v Gold Coast

[Whispering_Jack 29,753]

The selectors have made four changes. 

The question is whether changes to the team makeup is what’s necessary to end the current losing streak?

[Mickey 4,647]

How does the "If we lose to the Suns I will..." thread have more post than this thread?

[Dido 78]

A cathartic process

[dazzledavey36 54,186]

Looking at the ground last night it looks like an absolute cows paddock.

Fingers cross for no injuries.

[Bitter but optimistic 22,218]

I like our selected side. I reckon we will win comfortably 

I am particularly looking forward to watching Bennell and an improved VDB, now that he has a couple of games under his belt

In a joyous celebration of my returned optimism, I shall give the maid a jolly good pre game rollicking !

I am truely surprised you can summons some Bbo. 

[Wiseblood 24,637]

Dees by 4 goals.

Weid to kick three, Bennell to have an impact and Clarrie will respond to the criticism with a vintage game in the middle.

It’s a balancing act od !

Dictated largely by whether I guzzle large amounts of vin ordinaire or The Manor’s budget allowing me to savour a higher quality Shiraz

[DubDee 25,524]

It’ll be interesting to see us play against a team that attacks and doesn’t play keeping off. 
should mean we can hit the scoreboard for once. I too expect a win but the suns have been very good this year

Agree Clarry will be BOG or if not him Gawny.

[Robbie57 2,020]

Raining and predicted to last all day. Will be a slippery wet slog.

[Wunders 397]

It seemed very slippery last night on the tv, so even though I like the addition of two talls I sort of lol’d to myself that this could be perceived as the game you don’t want to bring in talls (it’s almost like he’s trying to select the wrong team ? - only at Melbourne)!! Looking forward to it anyway! Go dees!

A little pity for the maid might be in order OD

I hope you aren't allowing the maid to drink pre-match Uncle.  Particularly the ordinaire stuff!

And then we will wonder why weid and Bennell haven’t been in the team for the last 2 weeks.

Can you imagine the quality of game this will produce could well be 1 goal each at half time.

Feeling the same way. Think all the media heat and the hub will galvanise the group.

In a lot of games RN a good thrashing would be preferable to be forced to watch the game.

Got some pork fillet marinating in a Chinese BBQ brine, some home made Italian venison sausages, a couple of car from porterhouse steaks all going on the smoker and a bottle of Hently farm Shiraz* 

The final piece of the puzzle is a pineapple of the sun's paying $2.40 as an insurance policy...

Games against Gold Coast have historically been positive turning points in our season, so I'm tipping that to continue.  2 and 3 with the team playing a more confident, connected brand of footy and things won't seem anything like as bad as they do right now.
