Game Day Round 0 (that's ZERO) v. Sydney Swans @ SCG, 7.30PM AEST

[Clink]

Well, the voting unambigously shows that we are full of healthy, undeniable optimism. Good!

 

[Headless]

Not zero... Round 'O'.

Round "opening"

Great - now we have to start the whole thread again.

That 2007 game was not an enjoyable one.

Thanks.

Weird to think that was the last season opener before the Richmond vs Carlton tradition (though some of those games have been horrible) I guess nobody realised how bad Melbourne were going to be that year.

help it’s overwhelming me

campaigners have sucked me in again. Lets go win the flag.

Brock McLean dragged us to a finals victory two games prior.

Then broken foot in Round 1. Changed quickly.

I think the older brigade just fell off a cliff, we had 4 wins for the season 5 if you include Kreuzer cup. Then we just had nothing left in terms of youth coming through. Rolling out guys like Weetra the next year.

Typical Sydney humidity, lots of cloud coming in. Rain was about 90mins drive away - might be a bit around early.

Most importantly a bar right behind the Melbourne section.

Also the kids next to me don’t know the words to the Melbourne song despite being in the Melbourne section. Bloody Sydney

Keep your #demonspirit high and your demonspirits close

Apologies - didn't think you'd be able to hear me.

Let's just call both clubs, cancel due to lack of interest, and have a big bowl of strawberry ice-cream.

 

[Scythe94]

Alright, you all have permission to melt. FFS

Scythe94 bang on. Feels like an unusual decision but guess we'll see how it pans out.

I'll pick them up from the club!

It won't matter anyway because Billings will be on in the first quarter after Gawn does his knee

Also, if any of you see me at the SCG, no you didn't.

In good news Schache will kick 3

But how many will he kick in the remaining three quarters?
