I'm going to unlock this because I'm bored and since it is now the day of the game then I think we can make game day official.

Now I don't know what to say though. I'm pretty scared really. Last time we played Adelaide I ate prawns I think. I hope I'm not messing with the formula to much by eating vongole. Still in the seafood category so that had better be enough. I have set aside my lucky socks to wear tonight. Speaking of seafood, I really really hope Hannan is feeling better.

Still scared though.

It's my birthday next week, so tonight is a date night at home with the Missus, and I'll only be casually watching.

Last time we did something similar was when I put on the date night for mothers day earlier in the year, that night we played Adelaide ... Coincidence? Yes, almost certainly.

 

[schmuttt]

We'll get done tonight.

I'm interested to see who plays on walker. I assume TMac did last game but he has to stay forward

Frost did and should again.

TMac went forward last game and kicked a couple.

We have nothing to lose tonight really, and we need to play like it. It'll be hugely embarrassing for Adelaide if they go down.

 

[raven echo]

Off to Melbourne Public to watch the game. Will get shammered if we win. Will get shammered if we lose. It's win-win.

C'mon Dees. Beat up on them just like Round 8. Unrelenting pressure is key.

5 goal loss on paper but we haven't been an 'on paper' team all year.

Dees by 70!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yep. Essentially half a midfield and a underdone forward line.

It would be a HUGE win if we somehow pulled it off.

Started on the beers early CA?

Started on the beers early CA?

Just now. Sober as a sniper.

Less than 2 hours of prep time for the game. Time to bring out my a game.

I don't mind these sort of games where I really don't expect to win. A loss is meh bound to happen a win would be amazing. Last nights game helps us as well I guess the way the season is going you never know.

I think the traditional cliche is to 'bring your A Game' not bring out your a game.

 

[MAXIMUM GRUNDAGE]

Come on, Dees! We need this!

My A game is coming out!

Is that better?

Or:

I'm game for some A.

Do you think you could put together a graph of my posting to quality to drinks consumed ratio throughout the night?

I'll be drinking too, as I imagine Proper Gander will be.

Perhaps a sober poster could...

EDIT: perhaps even a tracker for the whole mod team...

Hopefully they don't put the NSW game on the tv here
