Pumped/Unpumped

[Twodogs]

Footy season seems to have rolled around pretty quickly this year. Speaking to other supporters we seem to be a very worried lot this year compared to other years.

All I want you to do is list whether you are pumped or unpumped at the moment and maybe a reason/s why.

Re: Pumped/Unpumped

Pumped.


With the recruitment of a couple of readymade players, determination after stumbling at the penultimate stage for the last three years, the retirements of a few older guys, the expected improvement in the younger players and the depth in our list I really expect us to have a great year. I can hardly wait for sunday.

Pumped in the short term for what I hope Sherman, DJ and Vezpremi will offer. I am also very optimistic about the long term return we get from Wallis and Liberatore.

We have also got another preseason into Grant, Wood, Reid, Roughhead and even Ward and Higgins. This will stand us in very good stead at the business end of the season.

Pumped.

Really like our young recruits (Libba, Wallis, Schofield, Skinner), really excited to see further development of Jones, Grant, Roughead etc. Good depth and plenty of blokes vying for spots in the best 22.

Cautiously pumped.

Unlike my bike tyres, which both hit the same Vodka Cruiser bottle on the road today. Thanks bogans.

Cautiously pumped is an oxymoron it doesn't count.

What is your avatar? It looks like a Triffid.

I hope you didn't come off your bike.

Half pumped? Pumped but wary? Pumped with a lid on?

I dunno. That's how I feel.

It's an illustration from a book called "Cabal" by Clive Barker. One of my favourite books.

Thanks for your concern. No crash, just a slip and slide. And an inconvenience. New tyres needed etc....

It's now or never. Think of your street cred!

Re: Pumped/Unpumped

Now that it's all starting today, and Twodogs is drumming it up - PUMPED

I wasn't 24 hours ago..wasn't umpumped, just neutral (which to some would mean un-pumped I guess)

I know exactly what you mean. When I switched KB on this morning and he was talking up the footy being on tonight the realisation kicked in. FOOTY'S BACK!

I am so looking forward to sitting on the couch tonight and watching. Cricket being on is a bonus as well.

I'm getting more pumped by the minute - maybe it's been a post Collingwood flag malaise a lot of us have been in...but think about it, everyone should be adamant that they of all clubs can't go back to back. It's been painful enough.

I'm on here a fair bit, so I'm kidding myself if I say I'm not pumped.

Sporting smorgasbord tonight - looking forward to it.

Re: Pumped/Unpumped

Pumped.

We will start slowly (3-3 both of the last two years after the first 6 games) but realistically we should be 2nd favourites after Collingwood for the flag.
We have issues with defensive depth, but Collingwood have issues with ruck depth.

I have a weird feeling that Collingwood this year will be the Hawthorn of 2009 - expected to be world beaters, but with the entire football world chasing you and the gamesytle looking to have changed already judging by the pre-season games, much of their advantage has been eroded.

Re: Pumped/Unpumped

Pumped - Skinner, Libba, Mitch Wallis, Grant, Fit Tommygun, Ward and Higgins.
Not so pumped - Unfit Lake and Hargrave

We're as good a chance as any this season. Wide open.
