I know right next thing I’ll be celebrating like Cottrel ,Charlie and Walsh merged.
Pose swapping for every goal

Just say you’ve got stomach issues, stand at the back and lose your mind.

If we're fair dinkum, then winning this one is non-negotiable...

Not just because it's against scumbag drug cheats *, but more so because of the implication around winning and losing..

We win this one, we're 2nd heading into the bye with a relatively easier draw in the second half of the season. Huge for our top 4 chances.

Lose, and we're back in the pack, scrapping against Geelong the week after the bye.

After seeing what we've produced the last couple weeks, the intent and attitude has been awesome. Bring that again and I can't see us losing. Like it or not, * have done well to get to where they are and they're playing with confidence so I expect a tough game but in the end we should run over the top of them.

….& if the umpires keep paying these goalsquare holding frees, as they have done all week, Charlie might end up with 10.

I can confirm that if it keeps raining it will be wet.

If it keeps up we could get more……

Old Carlton would lose this one
Lets see if new Carlton is a thing.
If it all pans out as we want
-ring a ding ding ding!

I’m at hill and it was pissin down 10 mins ago but it’s calmed down now. Sun trying to break through the dark skies. Add to that the red and black. This prob what Mordor would be like.

Just don't!

 

[dumb]

* have better ball skills than Carlton. Their handball is slicker than ours and they are cleaner and less fumbly picking it up
Will this mean they will be better suited to the wet conditions ... I would think so.
Does it mean they are going to win? .... of course not

don't disagree too much about our fumbly-ness, but would think rain drags down a more skilful side (essendon in your post)

i do remember in recent years that voss sides hadn't been coached enough on wet-weather footy, reluctant to kick the ball off the ground. but that's history and the rain might be done by the time the game starts. dew notwithstanding.

Very excited, humans.

Sun’s out, been for a walk, done some washing, cleaned the floors.

Roast - a stone monty
Beer - maybe….

Nah, not maybe, but truck yeah!
