This thread is actually quite interesting, informative and entertaining - until the game starts!
I've enjoyed the read.

I'm sharpening my pitchfork as we speak.

I can't find my whale oil...did I use it all after last week's game? I may need a personal assistant...

Why would Port supporters be going for us?

 

[Deaneus!]

Go you good thing. A team should never put itself in a position where it needs other clubs to do the heavy lifting... but if you were to win tonight, that'd be great

All the best and fingers crossed no injuries (to your guys, at least)

I'm pumped to be honest. I think it's naive to say nothing is on the line.

We have copped it this week so it is important we stand up and remind people how good we can be.

It's also another game we can watch Moore, Marsh, De Goey, Maynard and Scharenberg. It's such a young team but there's real talent amongst those 5.

I'm glad there is nothing on the line because I'm quite relaxed. But I'm soo excited. I'm counting down the minutes.

Exactly how I feel really. It's kind of refreshing going to a game and not being too fussed about the result and just going there to see your team play. Obviously the emotional roller-coaster is part of why a lot of us love supporting a footy team, but a break from it is nice.

 

[jjsmitty8]

That's the plan legend!

 

[TheGreatGrundy]

Good on ya, Matty!

Matty? Where is Matty in all of this? Wish I was where you are, not back here in freezing Melbourne (8 degrees where I live in the hills). Wild horses wouldn't drag me to watch a night game at the G tonight when I can watch it in the warmer comfort of my home. I hate the cold.

 

[jjsmitty8]

On my way to the G now! Pumped to see how we bounce back, like I said during the week, just because we can't make finals, doesn't mean we can't shape the finals! All I ask is that the boys don't lay down like we did last week! Go Pies, let's give them all we've got!

Coming back over this way any time soon, TGG?

Let's compare the team lineups...

Earlier in the year...

Tonight's game.

 

[FR0GGY]

Go the pies!

 

[Timmy from Thomastown]

It's the most important dead rubber we have played for years. A good win here and after smacking the bombers we can say that we have improved on last season.....albeit on percentage only.

Absolutely vital game to launch our preseason.

 

[Hardas]

TEN changes for us by my count:

IN: Maynard, Marsh, Sinclair,
Sidebottom, Reid, Moore, Fasolo,
Greenwood, De Goey and Scharenberg.

OUT: Toovey, Frost, Goldsack,
Oxley, Dwyer, White, Witts,
Armstrong, Karnezis and Broomhead.

That would be 900,000

Yep. Our forward line has become stronger, and our defense weaker. The addition of Sidebums is good though.

I'm not so sure our defense will hold up now, cos it didn't back in round 6 when we had more experienced players in the backline.

After you had to put your tail between you legs yesterday (re the Club not being interested in Premiership), and got spanked, you resorted to excusing your limited ability for analysis by saying "well I wasn't around for most of the GF's" so I don't know - NOW you talk about "reality", which you interpret as ladder position.

That is not the reality - the reality is we are building a great squad that has pegged back the gaps against the top teams and our best is very good.

That's the reality not ladder position.

Put my tail between my legs? At what point?

I was born in 1980. Please tell me about the plethora of Grand Finals I was privvy to see?

Also, please, give me the crystal ball and warped reality you live in where apparently our future premiership side is already confirmed and we havent finished lower and lower in each of the last 4 years.

Absolutely, we need to respond tonight. Go Pies!

Tony Armstrong, wow

 

[TheGreatGrundy]

As soon as I can sell the house. I'll join you in your Thai classes.

 

[Cousin of Daicos]

Go the pies!

Try not to pin all your hopes. I'd say rely on Adelaide winning the next 2.
