Game Day 2024 Round 11 Bulldogs v Bloods @ Marvel @ 7:30 PM

[zyzzbruh]

I think this is the first time ever in my life where I'm not worried about the result at all, more just intrigued by what version of the Swans we get.

Win or lose we'll still be the best team in the comp, but gonna be interesting to see how we've handled - or not handled - being the best team in the comp.

Swans by 318 points.

We tend to have the odd mare at Marvel. I remember the same fixture a couple or so years ago + one against Carlton where we looked completely disinterested and asleep for 3 qtrs. Not to mention our games v norf. I never know what to expect from us under the roof. I'm convinced it messes with spacial awareness and the vibe.

Come to think of it i rekn i've been to more losses than wins at Marvel, and the wins never tended to be big.

I'm not overly concerned re the result either but if we're serious then i don't want to see a slow start or copping run on goals, they are concerning and unsustainable tendencies no matter what our ladder position is.

It's blocked at work but is this Bont throwing his mouth guard gif?

You bet, with Heeney pulling out the double cobras

Yeah Marvel is definitely not the happy hunting ground it used to be for us back in the 2016 ish years. Played a lot of very average footy there in recent years.

In terms of the slow starts, I don't know that it's that endemic. Really only been an issue against Carlton & GWS, but yeah we tend to blow games open after half time, more so than from the opening bounce, so it'd be nice to reverse that trend. Makes watching a more relaxing vibe

Its been a while since we've had an unhinged, frothing at the mouth game-day thread.

I have a sneaky suspicion that by mid-way through the 3rd quarter, we might have one.

You mean in here or on the main board? Because the main board one is already frothing.

Great to see a bit of spite in it already.

Our forwards should slaughter the dogs’ backline. One of the weakest in the comp.

No excuses for our big 3 to impose themselves on the game

I'd love to see Amartey have a breakout game tonight

Showed more intent last week

Who goes to Darcy?

But wouldn’t it be great to just keep winning.
And winning.
And winning …

To become the elephant that takes over the room.

 

[SM]

Our recent record against them at marvel is grim......

Let's turn it around tonight!

Is it grim? Looks like it goes LWLWL?

Would be funny if our only loss for the season was against Richmond.

 

[MR0808]

Would be funny if our only loss for the season was against Richmond.

And they'll hold it over us

 

[SM]

And they'll hold it over us

If that's the trade off for a flag then I'll take it.

 

[Wheresbuddy]

Sorry, you're right. I read it as LLLLL! Need my eyes checked.

Deliberate - when the AFL decides to give poor Richmond priority picks, we can point out that they beat the premiers.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

This will be a test

Will loose one eventually

Maybe tonight maybe not

More likely to win this and lose to some bottom 6 side through effort lapses. We NEED to start well tonight, we got away with it last week as Carlton are a mediocre side with a stack of holes (still have no idea why people rate that side). We give this side a 4-5 goal start and we are in a world of trouble.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Who goes to Darcy?

Has to be Melican doesn't it? Rampe on JUH. Naughton is playing higher up these days, that's the tricky match. Probably whoever is closer to goal Melican, Francis the one further out. That's what I'd do anywway.

 

[MF]

In the past decade we have a 20 win, 7 loss record at Marvel. The best in the AFL and considerably better than many of the Marvel tenants. Also a better winning percentage than we have at our own home ground.

I don't think we need to worry about playing there. It's our beloved home away from home.

That’s a Marvelous record.



Sorry.

 

[Jeffers]

Can’t give off that shit start like we did last week. Dogs are a fitter side than Carlton so we gotta be on our game from the get go. Cannot get jumped.

One last big massive defensive effort before a rest. Let’s do it boys.

The main board is where you go if you want to lose brain cells.

This side is just as mediocre. Who have they beaten?

 

[The King!]

If we play our best we win easily, Simple as that.

I would just like to hold top spot not have Essendon pinch it in the bye

 

[PurpJuice]

Dogs fan here, is this a Sydney match thread or shared between both clubs? New to bigfooty
