+1 for every week too, it's what real supporters do
Serious question, when was the last time any of you guys/girls were really looking forward to a game?
I would say that question depends on the time of the week you ask it on this site, early in the week everything is terrible, mid week it turns to certain players in the senior team are terrible and some young kid out of it is brilliant an d then by late in the week we are a genuine chance!!Serious question, when was the last time any of you guys/girls were really looking forward to a game?
I watch live most weeks, at the ground when I can for most H&A G games, the occasional ES match. I'll watch the replay the next day if I do miss a game for whatever reason... wedding, 30th, family stuff, whatever. It's a little less appealing hitting play the next day when you know it doesn't end well but I still do it.
I want to see Cripps dominate. Charlie fly and then kick his clutch goals from 50m out towards the boundary. Fish duck & weave around players before finding space and kicking for goal. Samo stepping through heavy traffic. Dow bursting through, O'Brien improving at every outing, Pickett on the far side of the ground with space, Jones spoiling the impossible ball, Kennedy being Robin to Cripps' Batman, Simmo being Simmo, Kreuz just keep on truckin', Ed's face as he keeps running and running, Murph's classy ball use, Marchbank intercepting, Weitbot moving out of the beta phase, Plow doing his job (& not getting enough love), Harry taking the big mark (or running like a bloke his height shouldn't be able to do), Polson's frenetic pressue, Garlett leaping and stepping, Docherty cleaning up down back, Willo's raking left, Cuningham's burst, etc, etc.
I'm not expecting the win but I'll watch anyway, tell ya what considering their rarity the wins feel pretty good when they do come. I guess I'm kinda watching the individual game with a micro focus - players, development, improvement, etc - while reining the micro out to macro for analysis of the team/club.... that **** is about the long term, not what happens this week or the week after.
I just hope we have a crack and stick it to them this week, win or lose. **** the Hawks, Go Blues.

Super post of what most of us aspire to see when we do attend games at moment.
I want to see LeBois out there with 3 opportunist goals on debut. Am I asking too much ?
OUT: Laziness, Pea-Heartedness
IN: Effort, Balls.
Look forward to every week because I know where we're at. If you expected lots of wins this year you haven't been listening. A lot of joy to be found in watching Cripps, Curnow, Fisher, Dow etc. develop.Serious question, when was the last time any of you guys/girls were really looking forward to a game?
Every week. I could not say the same for every week when Malthouse or Pagan were coach but still looked for the positives I could find even when was massive challenge.Serious question, when was the last time any of you guys/girls were really looking forward to a game?
just what this place needs another joker cracking wise - well played you idiotWell that's the Hawks taken care of. What about Carlton's changes?
If I know we are going to lose like this week then its easy to watch and look out for the 'good' bits. That's the plan until knucklehead commentators start talking non-stop crap then the game shits me to tears.
Considering we're on a Fox broadcast for the early sunday game, maybe we'll get Dunstall and/or Derm doing some commentating. At least they understand where Carlton is at and try to look for the positives (amongst the rabble), spot the glimpses of brilliance in the younger guys that we'll hopefully be watching for the next decade, as opposed to the "why are they playing Mullett/O'Shea/Shaw/etc? their team isn't even that old! they're the worst!" rubbish we get from most of the 'better' commentators.
One of the real benefits of not having 'prime time' games is that means no BT, Lingy, etc...
Yes but we might get Der-cocksmack-Russel!Considering we're on a Fox broadcast for the early sunday game, maybe we'll get Dunstall and/or Derm doing some commentating.

racistboo I want to see him get a go
Nope, just watched him in the SANFL and would love to see him play well for us
I look forward to every game, every weekend.
Nothing better than watching the team run out sometimes. Takes your mind off the shit going on, helps you think of what could be.
