Next Game :Kangaroos

Post by paddyl90 »

I am actually enjoying them and cheering them on against Sydney because I tipped them :lol: but also has me worried about next week. Essendon still hasn't won a game at the MCG for ages so maybe we will win back at the Dome and see if Lucas can get some form back. This time round we have no Thompson or Sav Rocca in the forward line but I think next Friday night will be the real test on how bad we are. Today you can't stop Lance Franklin so as dissapointing as it was try to keep a positive attitude it's still early.

Yeah, thats what makes me tempted to go. Just the fact we're back at the Dome.

I dunno whats with us at the 'G. We suck. We need to move back to the 'G. Play all home games there again. We can't win a flag if we can't win H&A games there.

We've won like 1 out of our last 13 games at the MCG.

Appalling.

If we lose to North, you can forget finals.

We cant win. Why? Because they play determined, high-pressure, one-percenter football, and we dont. Simple.

If we do win it will be a huge boost - if we lose - like Lloyd is King said - forget finals.

We moved to the dome for money, forgot that the actual measure of success for the "shareholders " is finals/flags. The FILTH as in Collingwood can make the "G" work financially, we were really, really stupid to move to the dome.

The Kangaroos are playing for their clubs survival so I'm not surprised that they have had a few wins in a row. It would be great to knock them off but it won't be easy.

We are the Kangaroos bitches. We play completely different styles of footy. We play soft, unaccountable pathetic, let's wait for someone else to win the footy for us, were as the Roos play a tough, accountable contested style of footy. They get absolutely everything out of themselves, we are probably the more talented team, but we can't be stuffed getting everything we can out o ourselves.

They will absolutely flog us is the centre and probably on the scoreboard to. McIntosh will give the midfielders first use of the ball and they will win about 85% of contested possession.

It's the Marshmellow game. We'll see who comes out the softest. Somehow, I have my suspicions....

After seeing them last night beat the swans, they will beat us.

They have hunger and will put their head over the ball.

We wont!
