Scape Goat The Lid: Where is it at?

[MR0808]

We started their dynasty only fair in return they start ours

I love this! I still remember that 100+ point win, who knew that would be the catalyst?

Here’s a lid off scenario.

If Parker comes back in this week and plays every game including 3 finals - I’m pretty sure his 300th will be the GF.

Long way to go, but hey the lid is off

 

[GoTheSwannies]

If we beat Freo by 19 or more the lid is officially off for me.

What why 19!

 

[MR0808]

What why 19!

It's one more than 18

 

[Troystenvic]

When Horse holds the cup aloft the lid will be coming off slowly because once it's off it ain't going back on. October might be a complete mess

 

[GoTheSwannies]

It's one more than 18

Spot on my friend

 

[sataris]

Whether we win, lose, draw or get kicked out in straight sets with 100+ losses.

The lid is always off.

Yep, seems fitting - I've seen enough. I'm calling it ..

 

[Tommy221987]

One thing I am happy about is every win we've had it's been over 20 points. So apart from the Richmond game I've been able to sit back and enjoy the last quarter without having a heart attack.

The Lid is Off. The lid is o-off. The lid is Off. It’s on the street, yeah the lid is o-off.

Yeah, that's a good call out. However, you do realise you've now cursed us with a close one next week.

Won't be close. Carlton will be carried to a comfy win

 

[BloodySwan]

We've now beaten 3rd, 4th, 5th and 8th on the ladder. I also don't believe we've played our best football yet but we've played very disciplined football.

Essendon was a test as far as I was concerned, we regularly struggled against their mids. If we can get on top of the Blues the lid will well and truly be off for me. Right now it's only slightly ajar

 

[Dangas]

I'll take the lid closer to being off if someone tells me how we lost to the Tigers earlier in the year? [emoji848]

Our bad is real bad.

 

[The King!]

I'll take the lid off at quarter time in the grand final when we start well

drank our own bath water. Hoping it was the equivalent from our Essendon loss in 2022

I also find this result hilarious. We lose to Essendon and the team sits down and goes "how could we lose to that lot?!?" Then don't lose again until we get to the Grand Final

 

[The King!]

Looking at first place after 9 games

2023 Collingwood
2022 Geelong
2021 Melbourne


Don't keep looking

 

[Punts]

Until we get to the gf and perform they can’t be trusted imo

[Deccas]

We may never lose a game of football again.

Awooouuu

 

[GoTheSwannies]

The lid is officially off for me... this year we've risen to every challenge we've been presented with.

Best defence in the comp, best attack and obviously the best %.

For me, things fall into place for the eventual premiers, and this season has that feeling about it. We're putting wins on the board while other premiership aspirants are faltering.

Obviously two-thirds of the season + finals to go so I'm not popping the champagne cork just yet. And our team has its deficiencies, but I'm quietly confident.

 

[SSwans2011]

Don't know why some of you are so scared to take the lid off. If we make it and lose again, we'll all be crushed regardless.

8-1 with 151% is objectively lid off time, stop being cowards.

Illness... rumour has that a bug was going through the team... heard it mentioned by the commentators
