Rd1 2024: 530pm Parra v Dogs GAME DAY THREAD @ Commbank Stadium (sold out) March 9th

[Happy MEel]

happy birthday you old fart

I plan on feeing every bit of those 40 years tomorrow morning. Thanks Twiz, hopefully catch up when you come down this season.

I think a lot of this comes down to the recruiting. Some players just have that killer attitude where they'll do anything to win amd never give up. You can't coach that but you can recruit it in your squad.

Exactly

I have a leave pass for the night so have to take advantage.

Is this a euphemism for extramarital sex?

It wasn’t but I think my wife is safe either way.

I’ve got a feeling we spent 79 out of 80 hours per week practicing defense in the preseason so I totally expect we will stone wall there attack.

Bet of the week

eels 13+, brown, Russell and Penisini to score

paying $37

*gamble responsibly

 

[Chipmunk]

It's good to have the season proper back.

We really need to start well here with a win. If we start like we did last season then we might as well just give up at the end of March.

Big sold out crowd, strong favourites, we have to get the win.

No idea why but I have this feeling Drown is going to rip and tear tonight. I turned 40 during the week and so @Noise and my cousin have shouted me Legends Lounge tix. 4 hour food and bev baby!!

Keen to catch up before or after the game at the club if anyone’s interested. I have a leave pass for the night so have to take advantage.

If only I was 40 again and knew then what I know now. 1995. How did we go that year?

Dylan brown never gives up on a play defensively as well.

Were Remis Smith and Meaney those sorts of players at their previous clubs? Was Pappenhouse, King or Coats? What about the Ex Union winger? Dont undersell Bellamys systems.

I refuse to move the storm out of the top 4 when I do my pre-season 8 until it actually happens.

Bellamy will have them there despite the lack of the depth in the forwards they always find a way to win.

Not if I get hold of you

At the pub someone wearing the white parra jersey next to the Bulldogs one.

It's a deadset looks like both are supporting the same team when you have them next to each other.

 

[King-Gutho94]

Great to be back in Parradise

Why can’t we win it?

A lack of genuine strike power from 2-5. Penisini is a good player, but unlikely to bust a game open. Russell is coming along. Other than that it’s average. And no depth
