Qualifying Final Eels v Storm Gameday Thread

[EelsFan05]

I'd be happy to just win and let the rest take care of itself. Everything will be against us. Should be perfect motivation.

I don't get the "we won't beat them twice so we may as well lose now" attitude...utterly ridiculous horseshit

If we beat them, we have a prelim to get through, and they have two must win games to even get to the grand final. One against (most likely) the side who beat them in the GF last year and the other against a side who pushed them to the wire in Melbourne. Then they play a GF against a team that knocked them off at home, whilst we've got a side we've already beaten. It's literally the hardest path they could possibly face and either side could knock them off on their day.

Or we lose, maybe get there, and the second we start to get behind the match they're remembering how they beat us in week one, while we're thinking about how we lost.

I don't think we're a huge chance tonight, but don't give me this defeatist bullshit about how it's better if we lose.

Well my son has never seen the eels play finals and he is in his 6th season of footy!! Anyhow he goes for the storm!!

My boy was born just after the 09 grand final. It's been a long wait.

Is this the first time we are playing a cap compliant Storm in a final?

 

[Bazal]

Is this the first time we are playing a cap compliant Storm in a final?

They beat us in 1999

 

[Suitman]

Is this the first time we are playing a cap compliant Storm in a final?

Are they even cap compliant now?

 

[Basil Brush]

Let's hope the storm tense up as favourites and we play with nothing to lose and somehow shock them.

C'mon Parra! I have a feeling we will get away with the win this arvo. There is a lot of pressure and expectation on the Storm.

Can the Cam356 wankfest please end.... f**king dribble!

 

[hybrideel]

Has there ever been as big an outsider in a 1 v 4 than us in this game. Sportsbet has us at $5.15 and a 14 point start

Yep, as much as I hate it the #cam356 bullshit is taking the focus off of us. They are an experienced side but I think they are getting rather caught up in the bullshit and I think we can spoil the party.

Kenny Edwards is due for a brain explosion....

 

[BlueAndGoldPride]

Jeez Gus loves bagging Moses!

356 brown paper bags...well done Smith.

 

[El Diablo]

no way Beardo will let the refs let Smith lose this game

Jeez Gus loves bagging Moses!

He wanted him at his club and was told to piss off.

Not sure but I reckon he will get under the skin of Will Chambers....
