Interesting to see what our mindset will be. In the first 4 games, we were way way outsiders but while we will still be expected to lose, I doubt we will be at the long odds we were in the first 4 rounds.
Would love to have seen what could have been with a full team this year so far with many teams not starting well. But anyway this game is one of a few we can win. I feel kind of confident going in next week if we can just get our forward line in order. Bring it on!
I wonder what will be considered more embrassing at present.
Collingwood losing to us or
us losing to collingwood
??
I’d say it’s 50 50 atm.
Nah, I reckon the embarrassment would still lean towards them losing. They’re a rabble at the moment but we don’t really have any expectations on us. Us beating them will just put the torch even closer to them. Them beating us will just be “the inconsistency of a side not used to playing with each other.”
After the embarrassment they’ve endured, they will come out pretty fired up you’d expect … everyone will expect that, … that this is their “Line in the sand” game, the game that could see their Coach punted … if they lose to us, there will shitt so deep, they’ll need canoes.
Very wary. … but fark I hope we can add to the misery.
We have had better Essendon teams plays worse Collingwood teams on Anzac day and still lose so I’ll be expecting more of the same.
I would rather win this game than any other game this season. If we win the next two I couldn’t give a stuff if we don’t win another one for the rest of the season.
