Next 3 Weeks

[DingaRoo]

The coming weeks:
Adelaide (ES)
GC (MS)
Essendon (ES)


I recon it'll be a barn burner against Adelaide next week, two inconsistent teams goin at it to show that they have what it takes to be in the mix of the top 8 in seasons to come.
Result: might chalk up a win here

The big question... can we travel to Metricon Stadium and beat the gold coast? hard to pick at this time seeing how the played against geelong up there.
Result: Stats wise we should get the job done (not that stats do much... beat sydney in all ways possible but the score line)

Essendons the big game, its do or die. But to do so well against sydney who are just about in the same boat as essendon we could give em a run, but no doubt the odds will be against us like every other week and surely should get pumped by the dons.
Result: Lose

Gold Coast is the hardest of those games. Their speed and athleiticism will worry many of our players. Our saving grace may be I think they will be returning from WA. Fingers crossed this is the case and other things go our way.

I agree. Had you asked me earlier in the season I probably would have booked 2 of the 3 as wins, but now I think we'll be lucky to pimp out 1. Adelaide are our bogey side, Essendon despite there injury concerns will worry us with there pace and likewise the Gold Coast who also gain the home ground advantage.

what odds you give me to win all 3??

Adelaide- reckon we'll win easily

GC- If Drew stays fit and attacks the ball, man, contest call it what you will, he'll kill about 6 GC players.More likely a win than a loss.

Essendon- Reckon we can win this one, we've the cattle to push 'em.

But I suppose whilst our season is shot we're not far off 95% of the comp. Old man time will take care of Geelong for us.Collingwood have our measure,but think we've a lot of improvement in our boys, not so sure the Pies have.Not saying the Pies aren't a great side though.

Can you advise which umpires we will have in those games?

You really need to ask Artichoke that one.

Seriously guys, anyone who honestly believes we can still make the finals this season is genuinely 5 cans short of a 6 pack.

Now, IF we were to lose to GC, don't expect to hear from Zondor for the remainder of the season. He has promised Onip that if we did lose to GC in its first year, he will concede that we should've taken the GC deal. Zondors sphincter would just be tightening a touch as GC continues to improve & we continue to bastardise the act of kicking a football.
And furthermore, Zondor has promised to wear a GC scarf to work for a week if Karmichael Hunt kicks a goal against us. After that 50m bomb sailed through last night, lots of sleepless nights ahead for Zondor.

POTY contender.

As funny as it sounds, it's not beyond us to win all 3, and 5:7 record would revive our season.
