Game day!!!!
Had an obligatory cigarette and a coffee out of my favorite Bulldogs mug as is the tradition.
Checked the weather prediction today, Cloudy no chance of showers- 16km winds this may help Burtons high bombs i whisper to myself.
Cant wait to see them wheel Reynolds out of the cotton wool and bubble wrap. TPJ would be testing him out all night. Highlights reels now play in a mind clouded by nicotine and caffeine.
Watched the Cowboys vs Raiders game last night and can say the Cowboys looked the goods and we beat that team in a slugfest.
they say good teams find a way to get a win.
The real questions will be can our halves take their game up another notch?
Will our forwards dominate a young forward pack coming off the back of a win with the winds very much in their sails?
Can they get Addo-Carr early ball and get him more involved- First tryscorer would really set the tempo?
Will Dufty have that stellar game he is known for whipping out every now and then?
Time will tell.
I like the cut of your jib mate. Agree about the Cows. Perhaps our win over them was better than we originally thought, particularly keeping them to only one try.
Good to hear there will be some breeze for Burto to bamboozle their backs.
We have a team quite capable of beating the drongos, but I'm tempering the confidence these early rounds. I did see enough last week to be quietly confident though. The ground should be adequate for our new skill and speed game. I watched some of the AFL match played there last night and it didn't look slick like Shark Park, which concerned me when I saw it. We need a dry, fast track to really play to our strengths.
JAC, Burto, Dufty to have a hand in 3 tries today. Lesssss gooooooo
