Anticipation level on a scale of 1- 10

Featured Replies

Posted

I posed this question prior to the first round and most respondees were bursting with anticipation. Has the excitement level subsided after the disappointments of the first 2 rounds , or are you still up there ?

On a scale of 1 - 10 , I was on 5 prior to the first round ; I am now on a 3.

 

Negative 7.

May rise to 3 if Daniher decides to debut some kids this week.

Edit: after seeing the side that will line up on Sunday, negative 157

8.

Didn't we lose the first 2 or 3 last year? To the Carlton twice last year?

Didn't we lose to Hawthorn last year?

I'm looking forward to:

- Seeing the inclusions and hope ND doesn't stay too predictable

- Seeing ND's forward-line structure

- Colin's return (fingers-crossed)

- Moloney/Whelan polaxing N.Ablett

- Watching Hawkins and Selwood play footy, in the flesh, on the MCG

- The Dees registering their first win of '07.

 

Anticipation for me is higher than it was last week. We may get to see the future of the forward line for the first time.

If we select Biz and Holland as our forwards, then it's a zero.


10...

oh hang on ..anticipation..... thought it was ANXIETY !!

make that "0"

1. The NHL playoffs started today and the NBA's are not far away. These ought to help me take my mind off the hellpit that is season 2007.

Well Bolton play arsenal this weekend so im sure ill be caring a bit more about that until kick off time then ill be dreading the outcome of the game at the G

i reckon there is a 80% chance we will be 5-0 in 3 weeks time if not 8-0

 

8.

To be honest I love these sort of "back-to-the-wall games", when nobody gives us a shot in hell of winning. It makes these kind of wins so much sweeter.

im .5. I dont really care about this year anymore


Agreed. After seeing the team, not looking forward to this one...

Lets hope we come out and pull some sort of miracle win with such a poorly rounded team on the field. Will make it oh so sweet!

It was a 9 before the saints game. It's about 2 now. Only because we started 0-3 last year and still did ok. if not for that to look back on, i'd be negetive 100

Still early in the season & so many more dramas to unfold before round 22. Best that it all goes to [censored] early in the season I say than later. I'm still excited.


( just taking the mick )

coz it works well to build upon the foundation of sh!t !! :-))

was 9.25 before the saints game, and even though it only early in the season, my anticpation level is 4 and if we lose it will be nearlly 0-- 0.98

So my advice to the team is please lift and win

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
