New Years Wish - 2024 to be a FUN footy season!

[GVGjr]

I can see our footy dept taking this instruction 100% literally...we would also never win 2 in a row!

I'm after a 11-0 start straight out of the gates with a couple of 100+ point wins in there...a close loss around round 12-13-14, followed by a strong bounce back. Maybe a 2-2 finish over the last month as we smugly 'rest' a few key players...and then, well, who knows?

And every week when I turn on the tv for the start of the broadcast I know what I'm gonna see!

This is a relatively new look footy department headed by a coach who would have a sense that this could be his last year at the club if they don't perform so I can't really agree that anyone would be overly complacent..
I'll hold Bevo and the club to account all season for the message that the club released about the round one team being the most ready and best prepared side because the motivation is there for them all to succeed.

anyone would be overly complacent..

No mention from me of complacency...I just said they will take the "don't lose 2 in a row" mandate literally - which has other potential consequences.

Fun?

FUN?

Are you new around here?

Sorry I thought this sort of implied it

I believe we are hungry for success, we will be pushing hard to get a run of wins and limit losses.

Top 4 in 24 should be our motto.

I guess that's the end of #sackbevo then??

May as well put your resume back in the filing cabinet then.

Just about the perfect wish list. Would only add that as 'we smugly rest a few key players' we also implement a heavy training load during that 2-2 period so we are cherry ripe for the finals after the week off.

2-2 during that period will also fool the media into thinking that our GF win is not a forgone conclusion!

Let it be.. let it be-ee..

No. He?s still gone.

I get that GG but after the last couple of years, I just want the regular season to be FUN again.

Agree. All i want is to be excited each week to travel to the footy.

I get that GG but after the last couple of years, I just want the regular season to be FUN again. I know we all have end of year targets - win finals etc - but I actually don't care right now. I just want the 5-months of the SEASON to be fun. I hope we obliterate Hawthorn in the practice game and just get rolling. I want to be happy WEEK to WEEK not constantly stressing out about the season...

I like it

A bit of it being fun again might be found in the mirror for a lot of Dogs supporters (definitely me).

Fun sounds good. I?m probably going to struggle a bit to make many games in 2024 as we?re expecting our second child start of March so will make it hard to carve out the time each week, however hoping for some exciting football and a few good games to entertain the eldest and begin to fully integrate him into the Dogs.

Ideally some runs of wins (5+) and an increased ability to run out games / stem opposition runs should make it an enjoyable year.

New year wish? Well a Dogs flag and Bont Brownlow sounds good.

[Grantysghost]

I want this to change too.

[mjp]

I want this to change too.

Yeah - I don't like Lyon much either.

Congrats!


I'd love a 2008 type season or even a Melbourne 2023 type season. Even if we don't do well in finals a H&A year where we can expect some level of quality is much more enjoyable than lamenting whether we'll be good, decent or outright crap
