Opinion Are You Genuinely Excited For The New Season?

[Runk]

Whilst I'm glad football is almost upon us but I can't say I'm super excited for the 2024 season.

Seeing the Pies win another flag coupled with the ever improving form of Carlton I am genuinely bummed and definitely think that Hadron Collider sent us into the darkest alternate universe......

Why are you shouting?

I wasn't last week, it felt weird having a half round where my team wasn't playing. I am moreso this week. Not in the '* yes premiership here we come' but in the 'great football is back let's see how we go' fashion.

If you're bummed now wait until we lose to Hawthorne before heading up to the SCG.

Can I change my vote after the first round?

Why are you shouting?

Yeah that's on me

Yeah that's on me

I imagined you were shouting your excitment to the world as you were posting it. Maybe even doing a little fist pump in the air as you hit the post button!

I rarely post a thread so put it down to being a moron

I'm only really excited about seeing our young players develop

Cox, Perkins, Reid, Hobbs, Caldwell, Tstas, Caddy ETC

The problem best case scenario we could realistically finish 7th-8th, but if we do, we will probably get bundled out first week as usual.

So then I think - Maybe it would be better to finish bottom 6 and get 1 more top tier pick and then really challenge in about 2-3 years.

We are kinda stuck atm.

Will fake excited suffice?

I'm excited for footy to be back but I'm not excited to be an Essendon supporter

 

[Shanghaistu]

As long as we get games into Hepp and Guelf, achieve some learnings, win trade period and the boys get to enjoy a nice team-building end-of-season trip, not much more we can ask for really

 

[eighties_bomber]

No....theres nothing that has ignited any excitement

 

[supportyourteam]

GENUINELY CURIOUS.

 

[I Remember Bluey]

ARE YOU GENUINELY EXCITED FOR THE NEW SEASON?

You had better believe it

 

[ant555]

Am I excited ? Would not say excited but happy the season is here and I will be going most weeks. I just like live sport so even if we suck it is still the experience of being there amongst the punters .

 

[Call Me Cake]

I'm excited for the melts for when we go 1-6

Interested/curious.
Curious to see if we do a rinse and repeat of last year, maybe slightly better.
E.g. in the first dozen or so rounds, get some unexpected wins, get the fans hoping we might actually win a final. Then drop away like a sack of s**t in the last 8 rounds again.
Is it bad that I hope we don't drop away quite as badly as last year, and I'm happy with that?
We may have slightly more depth and mature bodies this year, plus the kids are 1 year further into the system. So hopefully we don't drop away as much towards the end.
