What a difference a month makes....

[Didakcular]

I remember about a month ago when we lost to Hawthorn many people were hinting that our season was over and we were not the side we hoped to be. What a difference a month in football makes, we were 3 and 4 and are now 7 and 4. I just hope that in the next month things don't go downhill, but hopefully things will just keep getting better!

I'm still holding my breath this week.

After that I'll do a happy dance and start singing we are the champions.

 

[unplugged]

The more the week closes in, the more I'm starting to think the Pies can get up over Carlton this week.

I say this because the club seems to quickly learn from its mistakes at the genius of Mick Malthouse. Hawthorn beat us in their intensity, so we go ahead the next few weeks and beat everyone else in our very own intensity.

That intensity probably wasn't quite there in round 4 vs. Carlton as much as it could have been. That, and other errors that I'm sure will be looked at.

There's definitely room for improvement, which is fantastic. A loss to Carlton this week wouldn't be too heart breaking I wouldn't think - it would probably act as extra motivation to take down the Bulldogs.

 

[Stone in sock]

we were pathetic in rd 4 and blues played out of their skin. and they only beat us by 23 points.

would be disappointed if we didn't beat them comfortably this week.

 

[OniAu]

those people saying our season was over were pathetic , they are the same people sitting there now saying if we lose to carlton our seasons over.

sure it might jeopardise our top 4 spot by not winning a winnable game, but man people over react, its frustrating to read sometimes.

No, no, no! You're doing the big solo......

No time for losers (Carlton).....'cos we are the champions of the wooorrrrllllddddddd...

 

[Bloben]

You crack me up Snag... Baritone

 

[Snag Breac]

You crack me up Snag... Baritone

Don't tell me you're a soprano as well? If that's the case, you and PieLebo and Chase the Ace can get together and give us; Three Little Maids from School. This is getting to be a really classy forum.

That's even funnier because back in the good ol' days in the UK my mum actually played one of the three little maids from school!!

Although it should be

Four Small Forwards way cool are we

Four Small Forwaaaaaaars way cool!

 

[magpies42]

i never gave up on the list like some! i just thought it was going to be form slump, which is normal given the lack of games played and leadership on field. What a difference burns makes!!! dreamteam has captains earning double points, i reckon it should be triple at least...
i will admit that i had conceded playing finals, but now that burns is fit and firing i think our luck may have changed (touch wood)

 

[pongo_3931]

I have no idea how to respond to that!

Go Pies!??


PIEEEEESSSSS!!!

 

[the_fresh]

After the Hawthorn game I'm not sure if I said it here but I was saying we looked tired. The week off, plus the Hall of Fame game which all 4 players did well, we had a club refreshed & flying.

 

[Optimax]

how about that fool that became a hawks supporter.

I always felt we were a little bit away from doing this the past month has shown we can.

lets kill the blues and go five in a row

 

[RRRooocccaaa]

.....'cos we are the champions of the wooorrrrllllddddddd...

I'm growing my poodle 'fro and tuning up the Les Paul for a 12-track overlay of the national anthem right at the end of it ('for the good ole...' (2 minute solo) 'colling....' (1 minute solo) 'WOOOOODDDD!!!) (fireworks, streamers and a Eureka-tower-size effigy of Bucks unveiled amidst 39,999 small children painted all black and all white streaming across Birrarung Mar).

I'd hoped you would. And the real Bucks emerges from the giant sweet right foot of the effigy, and is led to the podium in the middle of the MCG by MagpieGirl and BigBucks, dressed respectively as Ceres of the Goal Harvest and Athena of the Footy Smarts, and welcomed by Spartan Magpie in his Apollo outfit, radiating rays of black and white.

I think it'll work. And Fadeaway is doing security.

 

[thatday]

Thats fantastic Snag. Now i'm listening to we are the champions.

It'ssss on-ooooo-nlyyyyyy words, and words are all we haaaa-aaaave to steal the game awayyyyyyyy.

I will be down right gutted if we lose this one. If we play well and the Blues beat us in a great match I'll gladly cop it on the chin. BUT if we put another insipid performance for what was last time meant to be one of the greatest inspirations for winning ie. handing the blues their biggest winning streak .... well I'll be out for blood and more importantly simply disappointed our team cant show consistency.

I will be expecting a professional 5+ goal win and I can't wait to cheer Bucks when he does his lap.

Even the Carlton fans say they're going to cheer him - just before we sound the Deguello, and then it's no quarter given.

3066, you're lighting all 3066 candles that form the crown on top of Bucks' effigy's head.

 

[MagpieGirl_13]

LOL! Love your work Snag! I'll be belting out the tunes from up here, hope you can hear alright....

It'ssss on-ooooo-nlyyyyyy words, and words are all we haaaa-aaaave to steal the game awayyyyyyyy.

^ I loooooovvvvveeeee that song!!!!!! Ronan Keating...... I could listen to him for hours.... Infact I might just do that now...

I'll tell you, if you'll tell me? Is BB male or female?
But TRS is conducting. I'm taking notes for an article to be posted in The Library thread.

Can't wait 'til this afternoon. It'll probably be impossible to get a photo of Nathan with everyone leaping up and down. Come to think of it......I might use Hell of Mill Park as a battering ram.
