I'm hoping Ben.

This was supposed to be our 'easier' period.... Gold Coast, Essendon*, Geelong (none of whom was meant to be any good) and Richmond with the Bulldogs who also are supposed to be rubbish in and then Norf... and then Port at home in a roughly 8 week period: 7/9 very winnable games.
As it turns out the only 'easier' run we'll get is for the last 3 weeks against Hawks, Eagles & the Saints. And the Hawks are going well and who knows how the Saints will be by that stage?

The reality is there are not many "easy" games in today's AFL

By the last few rounds the teams not in finals contention don't have much to play for.

They’re all mid table teams. 3-0 coming up

No they only have peptide injections…..

Here's the thing. I'm not really feeling it. I'm sure I will on game day but I haven't had strong feelings of bile for this mob literally for years.

In recent times it's been back to the old school & it's just been all about Collingwood. And before that, Richmond when they were good. Essendon* simply haven't been good enough for me to notice them (& I still don't think they are). I imagine we've probably been the same for oppo supporters for most of this century.

Seriously the last time I felt major rivalry vibes with them was in the 2000s, when I worked with an old Bomber bloke who hated us nearly as much as he loved his own club.

At this point it's a bit meh for me. More thinking about us than them, & how we'll benefit from the 10 day break.

Yeah, until they become a worthy adversary it's all just pantomime, but I'll still go in two-footed every time.

It's definitely waned for me in recent years, but now that the YAY GO BOMMERZ brigade are coming out of the woodwork again I'm starting to feel.

no way -having crossed that @#$%&! bridge at Windy hill for years as a kid and put up with their shit I will hate them always.

The joy I receive from Essendon* and Collingwood losing isn’t replaceable.
The joy I receive from beating both is only rivalled by us winning finals.

I'm sure I'll get the feeling back when the ball is bounced. But I'll cross that bridge when I come to it
