I think someone created one a short time ago, when i entered the thread it seemed it was blown into oblivion quickly.

Hopefully it will be under 100 points

I would guess around 80pts if we play to form

I don't think so... I'd imagine fools from any month are welcome to suggest a win Friday night.

I just have this feeling we will win this week. Call me mad call me insane but I think this backs against the wall stuff will simply get us over the line. We should have our best line up all year with McVee, Windsor, Pickett and Spargo back. BOOKMARK IT

If we don't win I will go down to Gosh's paddock naked with the smallest of small flags to cover my privates!

I dont think we will but watching them live on Saturday you could see we really lacked pace to open things up through the middle. We've desperately missed Kozzie, Windsor, McVee not just for pace but to create. It looks like we will get 2 of them back along with Lever and Spargo. We should be more competitive.

When I think back to 2021, something that always makes me smile is the fact we beat Geelong three times that season. Good times!

You didn't say when? 2.30am does not count. Get your flag ready Werridee. I cannot see anything but a loss. My hope is less than 5 goals.

We get better with the expected ins this week, the cats aren’t flying (although they’re better on their own soccer pitch), you’d expect some sort of bounce after the heat we’re copping.

Need the mids to at least breakeven, and find a way to hit a forward with the football. Goals are coming almost by accident at the moment.

I don’t see a win here but I’m all for the positive thinking.

Allow me to get in first...

So that's what recent training has been geared to!

Me watching our midfield the last 2 weeks

Somebody's gotta set the tone out there boys, somone's gotta F-word set it!

60+ point loss if it's dry. Could be 80+

55+ point loss if it's wet.

We absolutely suck.

Every time I see Gawn getting another junk whack in the back of the head or behind play.

By all the holy powers of football, I want Dangerfield to try his usual elbow slide to the throat of one of our kids and then be absolutely dumped on his perfumed [censored] by Viney.

I want to hear the quote;

"The AFL has chosen not to protect us, so we will do it for each other."

Four scenarios I can see happening:

1) There are five golden tickets in the world and we found one of them (without the help of Veruca Salt's Dad buying 90% of the chocolate bars). We somehow pull off a ''backs to the wall'' miracle win.

2) The performance I was expecting against Gold Coast and occurred in round 1. A well fought out 4 quarters with the lead ebbing and flowing all day, but we just fall short. A performance they can take confidence in with 3 bottom 6 sides coming up in the next month.

3) A replica of rounds 2 and 3. A mistake riddled 3 quarters and then give up in the last. A 50-75 point loss with no signs of improvement.

4) the players make a 2011 like statement. A vote of no confidence in the coach, the game plan and even off field leadership as we simply don't try on the way to a 130 point loss. The coach's role becomes untenable.

Ok, I'll add:

0) the injection of pace via Koz, Windsor and the lack of an injury in the first 5 mins for a change gives us the edge over them and we get up by 14 points.

-1) we outright spank the mother****ers.

You're mad and insane.

Going along with your sentiments I'm guessing that the Flag would say "nuts"

Appreciate the hope.

Great to know....I'll put the hose on us :)

Fingers crossed your right.

I got that weird kind of winning feeling myself, or at least put up a real fight show a bit of mongrel a bit of pride and go get us some [censored]
