I've either gone blind or there isn't a game thread for Thursday.

My first game thread, so that's extremely exciting :yawn:

Excited for the game itself but a Thursday game just feels like a drag. At least it is an excuse to go out on a Thursday, not involving shopping. Something different.

I really hope we get rid of the home ground struggles in this one. To go from being one win away from being perfect at home to being 1-3. I mean it isn't the end of the world but we haven't played the best of opponents and looked ordinary.

 

[Bundy Shark]

Glad I was there for your first time!

Seriously, we need to put in a decent performance at home, the time for talk is over, time to deliver, surely with the game the Cowboys put together last week will ensure we don't go into this game complacent.

 

[CrazyMatt]

Do we know if Thurston's playing?

Time to lift and bring our "A" Game.

5 home games in a row. Really should be winning all 5 after the poor performances we've put in at home thus far

Feel free to do it every week mate.

 

[Thresher]

Hopefully Heighno's available.

Agree, wasn't it supposed to be touch & go for SOO 1, initially, it was the whole series.

 

[Thresher]

Surprised we're $1.45 favourites for this one, even with Thirsty out.

That's way to short a price for us. 1 from 4 at home. Cowboys were good away last week (albeit Dogs were Puss) and we haven't exactly been setting world on fire despite sitting 2nd on ladder

 

[BlackWhiteBlue]

Loadin up on the dogs

 

[HaroldBishop]

Yeah can't see JT playing. Will be interesting to see if he's named in the 21 this afternoon.

I think it's 2 home games, a bye and then 3 home games.

So on a technicality it's okay hahah
