Lots of depressing "I don't care about this game much, things have changed, feel a bit sad" sentiment in here.
Well, fuck that I say.
In the hopes of perking some of you up, here is the Voodoo runsheet for the day - and I for one and in a fucking good mood about it.
7am - woke up to shining sun and a coffee ready for me thanks to my lovely wife.
7:30am - made bacon and eggs rolls. Checked weather forecast for Homebush, will be c. 25 degree for kick-off - get the fuck in!
8am - showered, dressed, about to take the lad to the cricket nets to see if I can get those feet moving - at the moment they're grounded like he has lead in his shoes - like his old man to be fair. Might work on that bowling action a bit too. Will take the dog to chase his ball around and generally get in our way.
10am - collect girl from rowing, buy boy new cricket bat, buy lunch from somewhere - no doubt a cheeky stop at Dan Murphys is in order
12:30pm - nap time
1:30pm leave for the ferry / train to Homebush. Beers on the ferry, no doubt some good banter on the train. I will be wearing my AB's shirt like a good 47yr old bloke does. Punt horses as much as I can get away with.
3pm arrive to ground, more beers, eat overpriced pie and chips.
3:45pm kick off following horrendous anthems
4:45pm AB's up 20 at HT, more beers and chips
6pm back on the train after 40 point win, Aussies looking demoralised at the realisation of another year gone with no Bled, and the prospect that they still have to go to NZ next week. The silence is so beautiful that no further comment is required from me
7pm back on the ferry for more beers.
7:45pm home on the couch, red wine opened, takeaway ordered and watching Manly touch up the Roosters
10pm bed or another bottle opened - haven't decided yet. Got to leave some room for spontaneity.Sounds like a pretty good day to me.
Thinly veiled "im upper middle class and proud" post.
I”ll always be a poor bogan boy from Palmy at heart

Ah the Fitz , good memories. The carpet was always wet.

Have just been told the B.Barrett is ruled out with an illness and that Dmac hasn’t trained the last 2 days.
Again, will cover my ass and own it if this isn’t accurate but it usually is.
If that info is correct and both of those 2 are ruled out that is something to worry about…

I expect 30 points
Pass/fail mark is about 20 points
Yup, and I don't buy this 'oh, the Aussies rise when they play us' bullshit either. They're borderline tier 2 these days.

It’s only against Australia so I wouldn’t have an issue if that happened

The wildcard is Schmidt. Does he have some plans in place vs a team he coached in 2022-23

Last night's Pies game broke me, I'm expecting a loss. At least then if we do win I will feel joy and if we don't I won't feel anything.

@Landers92 yup. Plummer on the bench.

Harry Plummer becomes St Peter's College's 9th All Black, the previous being Patrick Tuipulotu.

Fuck, they REALLY don't trust Plummer do they.

I don't mind him coming off the bench. Hopefully the team plays well enough to get him an opportunity to play some decent minutes. In that situation they'll probably flood the bench and watch our pattern go to poo
