Game Day Game Day Thread for QF2, 2024 vs Geelong

[Marmozet]

Win this and it’ll be a long and agonising two weeks until our third home Prelim in five years

 

[Manhattan Bronx]

Hope your mum is okay.

Thanks. Kidney stones, so not too serious. She'll be 'right.

 

[Ports1870]

Just realised we haven’t actually won a final in September since 2014. 2021 qualifying was at the end of August and 2020 was start of October.

Good to hear, but they apparently hurt like hell until they are passed or surgically blasted.

I checked out emotionally a few years back so don't really feel much of anything these days. Haven't been to a game all year and only really starting to watch us in the last month or 2. I guess due to the letdowns of this regime its difficult to get too invested any more. Sure I'll crack a bottle of Red and watch the game on TV tonight, whereas in the past I would be watching the clock all day waiting to crack the first beer at the pub and then get to the Oval with great excitement, nervousness and anticipation. I just don't have that anymore. Having come to the conclusion what are corrupt tin pot comp the AFL is hasn't helped either.

But any rate... Go Team!

I'm hoping that Narkle will fill the void left behind by Motlop in the form of The Ex Geelong Fringe Player Who Plays Out Of His Skin For A Qualifying Final Against His Old Side At Adelaide Oval.

That’s the Rats job

Just putting it out there that we beat Geelong on this day September 5th 2004.

Hopefully there’s a similar Choppy moment.

 

[Pappagallo]

We’ve all become so weary lol.

Like many have already expressed I’m not really invested in what happens tonight but I’m taking my son and he’s absolutely pumped. So I’m excited for him more than anything.

 

[pastmyprimus]

Don’t stuff it up Port. A lot of pent up disappointment from past final performances will explode if we lose tonight

 

[manureid]

Will probably remember to check the score halfway through, see we are getting pumped, shrug and go back to whatever I was doing

 

[ElectricG]

Fk you're right, there's two of them. Man, Geelong are in for some punishment.

 

[Harlott]

I haven’t been invested most of the season but since boo game and more specifically from the Carlton game, this team has given a glimmer of hope. They’ve been showing a resolve I haven’t seen for a long time. Even during 20-21 seasons.
I’d be bitterly disappointed if these guys dropped this one regardless of Hinkley effect.

Three if Frankie Evans gets a gig.

you could say hes...

FCUKIN PUMPED

 

[Doctor Feel]

I'll watch it. But it just doesnt feel like it used to.

 

[Alberton Proud]

i am genuinely nervous
Used to get like this before every game

First time I've felt like this for a few years
Feels good

 

[yepits2020]

I’ll be there, nervous and excited - bury them!

 

[Pappagallo]

Bloody well said.

You just know the next 2-3 weeks JHF is just going to run riot. Absolutely built for this type of footy and is the weapons we’ve never had ever before.

 

[Greasyrhys]

Bring the heat and all should be good

 

[davesnothere]

Sweet to get between Danger and the ball at every stoppage.

Jason Horne Francis to further embarrass the All Australian selectors.

Port to casually move on to a Preliminary Final.

 

[240volt]

Reading this thread I can almost hear the violins in the background.
Sounds more like an eulogy than a game day thread.
Port by 40 and Ken to do a wiggle dance.

 

[Alberton Proud]

RELEASE THE CHEESE !

 

[Enviable Tradition]

I am excited for a win and for the first time ever weirdly excited for a loss too.

Either way we are one step closer to getting rid of the feeling of apathy I have about minor round wins and the feeling of dread I have about finals.
