Are you the bloke asking $450 for jousting sticks?

With COVID, it's a buyer's market. People are flogging off things cheap to make ends meet. Don't pay any more than $350, and make sure they do contactless trade. Get photos to make sure the sticks are made of pine or cypress -- if it's gum or something hard, it's dangerous and fake! Don't be a statistic.

 We would have to win 7 straight games.  Including 4 finals, which includes a prelim and a granny.

The odds would be 1 million to  1 a best

 

Something tells me you didn't excell at maths P2J

This may have been covered elsewhere, but can someone tell me if we have stayed in Cairns the past week, avoiding the travel that supposedly sapped our energy, according to Goody.

I believe we stayed 

Probability of making finals is around 0.28 in my guess

based on 70% win probability tonight

50% against GWS and 80% against the Bombers

Would be interested to know what odds the bookies are giving for us to make the 8.

Well here we go.   Season is really on the line this time.  All over if we get done tonight.

I'd like us to just focus on something we were no.1 in the league a couple of years ago........ guarding space. It all flows from that. If we get on the front foot early and guard space well, I think we win.

You have only just realized 

Slobbo has severe trouble getting one word in the right order

Unfounded optimism. Nervy pessimism. Plenty of humour. Posters checking in from various points of the globe, posters getting themselves pumped. BBQ and beverage reports. Crazy score predictions. Pre-game routines. For as long as I can recall and even at the worst of times - this is what I had come to expect of the game-day thread. A ritualistic shedding of the emotional baggage of the prior week and a chance for re-set, at least for the few hours leading up to first bounce. Somewhere I could come feeling little interest in the match ahead and leave excited and fully committed to cheering my [censored] off. Now it's just a bunch of people moaning. I hope our players have their minds on the task at hand and not taking a negative attitude into the game, as we ask of them week in week out. For many of us the football and watching our club is greatest escape we have from the workaday - why not enjoy the fantasy? Go Dees.

I love Robbo!

just win tonight for a little bit of pride. Doubt finals but at least one more win.  Should beat the Bumers  as well

And yet he is Chief Football Writer for a major paper 

Clearly basic literacy is no longer important!!!

Hard to see us winning with this team. Plus Freo are not that bad!

The big guns will need to play out of their skin...

I see we're rated a 7/4 chance to make the 8.

Lousy odds considering our win probabilities

Just, how can i say it. just win please just win

Robbo said the bombers lost so badly based on their fixture ???

It's close to start time and I'm getting a  bit of a twitch in my ....... err nethers.

Call me a [censored] but I also have money on the Dees.

I reckon we'll crush them !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I've also had a few !!!!

Strapping in for another rollercoaster ride.

Let's go the big Preuss!

Fyfe vs Trac. Nice!

Do i have to watch this.....

light winds (15-20kms) and 23

Hibberd on Walters early.

Fritsch in defence?
