What did we do after a brilliant victory against Melbourne last year?

We spudded it up like the Kangafrauds we were.

I'm trying to be confident and assured but they need to do it. I think they can, but certainly frightened. Not of the oppo, of us.

If it helps their focus, the players should be seeing their opponents that way. How many times have we been optimistic only for things to spectacularly unravel during that weekend's game? Yes, it looks like it might be different this time round, but it's no guarantee after roughly thirteen false dawns

It’s still bloody hot here at the moment. In the 30’s.

While we are the better team, I’ve seen us melt in the heat here too many times to be super confident.

 

[treegreen]

I'm as pessimistic as anyone, but people here are seriously over rating West Coast.

We'll absolutely destroy them.

Get the points, and we've got a fresh Wardlaw, Hardeman, and maybe even Banch for next Saturday.

I don't think we will. We don't destroy teams. Particularly this one.

I don't think we will. We don't destroy teams. Particularly this one.

Our last two wins were by 46 and 48

 

[Rod Stroker]

Our last two wins were by 46 and 48

I'm aware, but I don't think a 40 point margin is destroy level

 

[JGreezy]

It's interesting, the same accounts who would shout down any positive thinking after we lost by 10+ goals will see all of the positives from other sides that lose by 10+ goals.

We should win this. If we don't then it will be disappointing.

 

[JGreezy]

If we lost by 48, including being down by 60 half way through the 4th, would you say that we weren't destroyed?

 

[Rod Stroker]

If we lost by 48, including being down by 60 half way through the 4th, would you say that we weren't destroyed?

I'd say it would be expected, based our results of recent years

How does Banch improve the team given who he replaces
He isn’t doing the Kont job tho maybe that is your point
Dovaston looked better on 2nd viewing
He was yards away from his bloke often

It was just a name thrown in as a possibility. Had a decent preseason now some VFL praccy form.

Nothing scientific.

Yep. They have have to earn our trust.

I'm not exactly surprised that a couple of our negative posters are still negative, more that after our unimpressive pre-season, we win one game (against poor opposition) and suddenly we're monties to smash teams.

Some choose to have an objective view and some choose to have subjective views. There are a couple of analytical views however most should be ultra conservative when it comes to the season pre round 6.

Of course, I was totally in the we will win by 10 goals camp but as it gets closer I’m looking at the heat in Perth and worrying we may not cope and that it’s possible some players may go back into their shells. Head still says big win guts are saying it might be closer than we’d like but we will win this

 

[danj]

Serious question: which time zone should apply to the GD thread? One for you Gasometer

 

[andana]

I’m looking at the heat in Perth

Forecast now 29 max

 

[danj]

Forecast now 29 max

Hot damned

 

[TennisPlayerAndy]

Forecast now 29 max

Game starts during the hottest part of the day.

Genius scheduling.
