After the glimmer of excitement for round 1, expecting some early competitiveness, but getting groundhog day…
I’m happy I’ll be watching my boy play footy at the same time today, yeah there’ll be some poor skills, but at least I’ll get to see some commitment, effort and fight.
Hoping that my good mood and seeing a close-ish score line later, might translate in to watching some of the second half.
Will this be loss 15 in a row?
I reckon we’re a sneaky chance here
Media reporting Essendon’s midfield group flew to Adelaide earlier than anticipated to have sufficient time to pray for the ability to win a clearance at one of the many churches around the ground.

I didn’t see any of last week’s game, but I got the gist. Unfortunately, it felt way too familiar.
As for today - I’ll be looking to see how we play, more than the result.
Are we actually trying to do something and are we doing it? So game plan, skill and effort.
Looking forward to seeing the younger players play.
I’ll be enjoying my first alcoholic beverage in seven weeks today.
And knowing us, probably also my 28th.
I think you’re overlooking us beating richmond in an unofficial practice match.
Don’t mind losing, but at least look like you’re trying to win.
Guarding grass, refusing to chase and tackle, forwards standing flat footed, defence refusing to man up, panic kicking out of defence (looking at you cap), hand balling to teammates in a worse position, and just a lack of basic kicking skills.
Let’s put all that in the bin and give it a red hot go today.
Will have to settle to watch Parish’s ■■■■ weak efforts in 4k this week.
Game should be on at 10am just to get out over and done with.
Cancelled Kayo then my wife rejoined in 4K 4 days later as my kids wanted to watch it.
Was trying to detox from the club, even called to cancel my membership. Now I’m back on here reading game day threads and I’ll watch this afternoon, at least the first half.
This club is like salty saturated fats, killing me and like I drug I can’t withdraw permanently
Beautiful sunny day here on the South NSW coast, been for a 10k run this morning, about to take my kids to the beach for a couple of hours - but life is all about balance as they say, so I’m going to torture myself for a couple of hours this afternoon. Can’t wait!
Nice day for a bike ride then tune in to Blitz for an all time great game day thread
They won’t win a clearance if Blakiston can’t get his hands on the ball at the contest.
I’m entering this contest with absolutely zero expectations.
But will still find a way to come away disappointed.
An opponent and venue we have found pretty challenging for quite a while now. On the rebound too (them).
Other clubs do rebound generally pretty well. We haven’t for about 20 years.
If anybody has left their masochism to the last minute I have a spare GA ticket due to having ■■■■■■■ ■■■■ ■■■■■ for mates.
We’ve taken the “dead cat bounce” to unprecedented levels by removing the bounce element.
Not if you watch the game you won’t.
It’s either going to be a complete ■■■■ fest, low scoring, terrible to watch game we might sneak home in or Port Adelaide drop 18 goals on us and win by 50+ points.
