I voted no... as a passionate, rabid supporter it feels like a yes ... but i don't think it's necessarily a season-defining game for the club. And those are the ones that count.
 
No, it's as really important game and the result will build a lot of momentum either way but it's still the first game of the year.

A 1 goal loss would not be the end of the world, hard to take, but not season ending.
 
Last time I checked Round 1 games count for 4 premiership points just like all the others......

Round 1 last year Essendon smashed the Kangaroos and the Eagles beat the Lions

Yes.

But so are rounds 2 through 22 ;D

Surely you don't want us to lose round 23.

We can drop a few games during the home and away season but we MUST win each FINAL. ;)
 
Yes. Every single game we run out for is a must win game. Sure there's a slight chance we won't win them all but losing should be unacceptable. We need to develop a winning culture where coming off second best in any game hurts like hell and inspires us to bigger and better things.

I just think that this year more than ever this is so true. We are putting a side together that can build a solid platform for growth and sustained success...EVERY GAME is a MUST WIN game.

Spot on Rosy. Growing the hunger makes you chase the prey harder.
