Preview How are we feeling?

[footycool]

Today is our season opener and im sure many of us are optimistic of the season ahead.

We have been dominated by the Cats for years now and with a improving and maturing list, could we really upset the premiers of 2009

Do you think we can do it?

 

[daffo]

Hell YES!

Cautious optimism I guess is what I would call it. Optmisitic about our performance tonight but not necessarily the result. I've still tipped Geelong in my tipping competitions but one thing I do expect is for our team to push Geelong to the physical limits as we're in a lot better physical condition than they are.

Woke up this morning with a smile on my face.

I'm excited that it is all back and here again, but I get a funny feeling my excitement will be much more subdued & on the verge of disappearing in about 12 hours time when Geelong will make a mockery of their "We won't be up and running until Round 3" talk...

2006 round 1 Essendon 17.6.108 v Sydney (reigning premiers) 12.9.81
2007 round 1 Adelaide (preliminary finalists) 10.14.74 v Essendon 16.9.105
2008 round 1 North Melbourne (preliminary finalists) 9.13.67 v Essendon 19.8.122
2009 round 1 Port Adelaide (finished 13th) 15.17.107 v Essendon 9.12.66


we probably have more chance of beating the cats than we do of beating north or freo!!!
