Keep a lid on it

[Dylz48]

Just a thought that we should go the geelong route here. Listening to 3aw and SEN after the game and then reading the thread on the main board. I think there are a few of us who are getting a bit ahead of ourselves. We are showing a lot but we must remember it is NAB cup and lets not get ahead of ourselves here

Agreed so far we have beat an u/18 WCE lineup and the tigers in a very very sloppy game. So whilst there are promising signs perspective is needed. Had we been so sloppy with our disposal against a team in full flight we would have been pounded. We also still struggled around the stoppages and clearances.

 

[Palmer Stoat]

Most supporters are keeping it in perspective. There'll always be an over-excited few. Still, it's always better to win than to lose.

 

[well left]

Good call.

I had not ventured on to the main board this morning but your thread prompted me to mosey over there. Lazyboy has gone off a tad too early in my book.

As Timmy has mentioned a few times of late, it is still only February. Albeit late February.

I'm gonna hang out with you guys for a while. The people on my board are facking morons.

Welcome H. Rider. And may I say that Richo is a fine figure of a man.

True think we had up to 50 Errors and Got Utterly Destroyed in the Stoppages/Clearnces - Nothing New there those

Keep a lid on what? We would likely have got done if the Tiges had kicked straight.

the errors were terrible but it had to do with having no forward to kick too.

Also clearances will come when both our ruckman appear awake on gameday, and also foley is a gun

I think most people arent getting carried away, it's just that apart from '03 under MM our pre season cup campaigns have been embarassing, so its kind of nice to have a few wins.

Looks like we will play the bombers next week, with no brown or black tonight for the lions, should be another interesting game that we should win.

I'd love to see us in another pre season GF, but wont be too shattered either way, although I do hate losing to Essendon, in anything.

We have shown some very good signs so far, but I'll keep the lid on a bit by saying that whatever we do this year, we will improve upon in the following 2-3 years.

Carlton's slogan is "They know we're coming", umm, ok, well our slogan should be "hello, we are already there".

Well the media are certainly keeping a lid on it.

Every bloody broadsheet, rag, website and radio station are saying how wonderful Ben Cousins was last night.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but he makes up but 1/22 of a team. And that's a team that didn't kick well last night, ran out of legs and - despite some intense pressure in the first half - just fell apart in the final stages.

If they keep this up they may as well change this year's slogan to 'We're heading for number 9 in 09'.

Just because Ben's pretty and bad....

Go ahead - seize the day !

If nine of their behinds had have gone through the big sticks instead, they still would have lost by a point, so you're way off base with that comment.

They would have had to kick only 3 behinds if they were going to win with the amount of scoring shots they had, which would have been a ridiculous level of accuracy, so your comment really doesn't make sense.

I propose we keep a lid on the use of cliches.

 

[magpiewarrior]

No, I'm gunna enjoy it while I can. we get slagged off just as much whether we've "kept a lid on it" or not so we might as well go for it and have some fun.

 

[Snag Breac]

I'm here to tell you that I'll back you to the hilt on that, mate, because you're dead-set on the money, and you can back it right in. Geez, you get some muppets on these boards, fair-dinkum.














Is there a hyphen in 'fair-dunkum'?

I think most Collingwood people are keeping a lid on it, apart from Lazyboy on the main forum.

You learn as a Collingwood supporter never to get ahead of yourself. We can belt Geelong one week and lose to Melbourne the week after. The story of CFC!
