[SunshineBoy]

Hey MP EAD

I'm gonna watch this weeks game in glorious colour on my new smart TVs with the remote control well away from me so suck it up big boy

 

[_Cayz_]

Weak.

I will watch every game rain, hail or shine. I will also probably break muliple items in my house throughout the season.

 

[Tiger Toffee]

My god what an over reaction, the way people are carrying on one would think we are 18th with a % of 50 having just been smashed by Carlton, Essendon and Brisbane.

Will LOL when we are 4-2 or 3-3 worst case with a bunch of easybeats and bitches to come.

I still cant believe you had a pioneer TV, my god a Pioneer ffs

 

[Black Saab]

It's a disappointing start not really because we are 1-2 but because we aren't playing well. That will change. We'll get better.

 

[Wackelpudding]

We're playing terribly, really terribly, but there have been some good signs mixed in the madness - Cotch's form has been good and we're going ok winning clearances etc. If we can tighten up our game plan and disposal, which are both correctable, we should at least be able to reach the same levels as last year.

 

[_Wang_]

Jeez this is going well

 

[Barry_Badrinath]

If the last few years have taught me anything, it's that 1-2 is impossible to come back from. Especially when you've got upcoming games in Perth. We always lose over there.

 

[Rodney Dangerfield]

We should all be Used to starting like this and feeling like this.
I am finding it funny though the way people are so early in the season. As for emotionally checking out I do find I am like that at games now, I just sit and watch the game without much emotion and even get bored at times. Probably more so in the past few years before they changed some rules.
But I'm still looking forward to each game and the season.

True. 1-2 is a long long way from 3-10!

We won last year

 

[Wackelpudding]

We won last year

We've won the last three. Pretty sure that was the joke.

I lived overseas dude some brands are not available in third world countries it's now a shiny Samsung smart tv

 

[Westicle]

Sadly I've gotta say yes. Every year I do anything I can to get to games or at least watch them live if they or I am interstate. I even got up at ungodly hours to watch live streams online when travelling overseas.

This year I went to round 1 and honestly couldn't celebrate the mediocre performance. Watched round 2 and was reminded of the last 4 years of choking and stupid football. Couldn't even muster interest in round 3 and was the first game I haven't watched in 5+ years. Not expecting to bother with it this week either unless it "happens to be on". I just feel like we've come and gone. Peaked with mediocre success and now it is obvious that we don't have the class or depth to go anywhere. Hope I'm wrong.

Pretty much the same for me too, Wang, only I checked out last 13 September around 5pm, while weeping in the carpark of the MCG. I explained the way it is for me here: https://www.bigfooty.com/forum/thre...ent-results-a-einstein.1128868/#post-43839299

I'll go to just as many games, and watch them all at least twice on replay, but I just can't find the same passion for win / loss this season. This season is just about fun, and individual storylines for me.

As for emotionally checking out I do find I am like that at games now, I just sit and watch the game without much emotion and even get bored at times. Probably more so in the past few years before they changed some rules.
But I'm still looking forward to each game and the season.

Pretty much the same for me, but I don't think it's rules that make it dull. Richmond play awful footy to watch, and have been for years. I actually find the VFL team more exciting to watch, even if they aren't often in the hunt. At least there's more contests during the game.

May I recommend a Bulldogs game or two? I find them great to watch.

 

[tigs2010]

Maybe. Not sure if it's emotionally checked out or I just find watching our games a bit boring at the moment.

Missed last weeks game and will probably miss tomorrow but not overly fussed about missing them like I used to.
