Red But Mostly Blue

So it’s the blues or the swans next week then. If we lose tonight it’s 3 finals lost in a row. Would want to arrest that trend real quick. Tonight would be good but we are so far away from that prospect it’s not even funny. We needed to start strong/different and we have done neither

We are nowhere near this.

Not how I pictured our start 😔

Our leaders will need to stand up. All of them. DO IT FOR GUS

Any complains about umpiring mean nothing. We have been wasteful and uninspired. Getting slaughtered. 20pts down in q1 in wet weather is not good. Certainly not over etc, long game but if we don’t come out firing and with a better strategy in q2 it’s going to be a long game for us. They’re all over us.

Our luck ran out. Carved up everywhere See if we can reset at quarter time and come up with some better ideas than bombing it in. Little deflated gotta be honest. Thought it would be us serving it up early.

We’re getting shredded by Elliot Wasteful forward entries from us. Boring, uninspired stuff. Gus off. Really lame start 😔

Dirty fu*kin dogs

YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME!!!! Gus won’t be back. I feel sick. Got to do this for Gus now

Could have sworn we would come out breathing fire. Guess not??? Not ideal. Only a few minutes in but would be good to get them back

Bbbuuuuuuuuullllssshhhiiiiiiiiit in saying that they are all over us. Have come out hottter. We gonna respond??

This feels so much more like 2021 than last year. A sense of confident calm in the group. And we have the added fire in the belly from last year’s poor end. Won’t be easy game by any stretch but like 2021 I think we’ll come out and make a big statement and it’ll happen from the first bounce. We’ve got this!!!! GO DEES ❤️🔥

THREE FLIPPING MINUTES OH MY GOD OF MY GOD OH MY GOD

13 minute everyone!!! 13 minutes and 20 seconds until our first goal.

I hope we land the first goal (the first of many goals for us, of course). But just so that first roar is ours. Set the scene. Set the place alight you know 🔥

We’re lightning specialists

It feels like it doesn’t it? IT’S EXCRUCIATING!

45 MINUTES TO GO!!! aaaaAAAAAARRRRRgghhhh 😬

Oof I estimate a total of 50-100 teeth got off that last tram…

83 minutes to go Not a notable milestone or anything BUT CAN YOU BELIEVE IT JUST 83 MINUTES TO GO!!!!

I keep reading that we’re favoured if it’s wet tonight, and don’t get me wrong I think we win tonight - a statement win much like 2021 - but honestly I haven’t been superrrrr impressed by our games in the wet this year. I recall us being pretty fumbly. I also note that our form has improved immensely as the year has gone on so maybe that assists. Anyway, we can’t afford the fumbles tonight. Got to be as clean and efficient as possible, and take our chances. We have to give the filth nothing tonight, other than a big old WHOMP Go Dees

Oooof I like this a lot. Great vibes, can see it.

Good morning, everyone! It’s a great day for magpie hunting!!

… and here come the nerves!! (I think we win, by 2-3 goals because hot damn I believe in this team, but still nerves haha 😬)

Agree, and very helpful/interesting!
