    They looked tense, even grim, clearly very aware of how much was on the line.

      Hallelujah Hotdog…I’ve been saying this for awhile, and got shut down. Good to see another poster seeing this as well.
      I will never see #16 the same!!

        Interesting that we seemed grim and came out and played poorly for fair chunks of the first and second quarters. Perhaps they were told to lighten up at half time.
        TF is this?.........Obviously you're not a golfer.

          Max Gawn looked like he was running out for a casual kick and giggle against the lions and Melbourne played very well. I don’t think there is necessarily a right or wrong way to hold yourself. Everyone is different.

            That's the best avatar ever.
            They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

              Wondered if anyone else thought that. Was a stark contrast to the Essendon rooms pre game.
              Have you heard Butters wants to come to the Dogs?

                Bont, Macrae, Weightman and Naughton. The cream.
                But then again, I'm an Internet poster and Bevo is a premiership coach so draw your own conclusions.
