Thankfully ratings aren’t premiership points! ? -
I work in tourism in NL, everything is shut down and messages from people working in medical care say that the fan has not yet been hit. Am one of many freelancers who have just lost prob months of income. We had to cancel our wedding for August. Hate to say it folks but it will all be cancelled soon. I like the idea of a quarantined 8 week season, and would not give two [censored] about an asterix next to it. But as of this week, the idea of doing anything but suspending it all would be ridiculed here. Get inside Dees, never before has sitting on your bum been so crucial to world health. The positive is that, in the face of great social threat, the power of social unity emerges. We are seeing it here, everyone is in it together and no matter the uncertainty, solidarity will remain throughout. Let’s see what happens. Strength and love to everyone. Don't panic; isolate yourselves.

No crowds for Round 1. Perfect conditions to play Eagles in Perth

Apparently I’ve mentioned it 5 times today. And it’s only 9am

He is showing outstanding pre season form. Really hunted & attacked that new contract. Top news

Welcome Harley! Love this!

A huge thanks to all track reporters from a very cold Amsterdam, as well as to Andy, Nasher et al. Excitement brewing. Go Dees.

Great post.

Was at his first match at Whitten oval against the Roys, loved shouting Oooooze for years thereafter. Would love this appointment. Make it happen Dees.

Many won't get what you're saying as it flies in the face of our general acculturation regarding such things. I think you're bang on.

Jesus some of the comments on here. Trade Tracc, trade Brayshaw, May collecting his super and nothing more etc... If this year has taught me anything it's that we need this ?? as an emoticon option on Demonland for 2020.

Bloody glad that Beelzebub, SWYL, TGR, PF and the rest of the itchy nut crew are miles away from managing our list or having any say in anything. You blokes need to calm the farm, god I'd hate to be in a tight spot with you next to me. All* decent posters and genuine supporters but this is a journey. Yea if we stuff up next year then you'll be shown to be correct, but a coach doesn't get their team to a PF by fluke, and clubs don't establish sustainability by jerking their knee at the slightest obstacle. Of course Goody gets a mulligan season. Until next year we won't know. So just chill. Edit: *mostly decent posters

One of my favourite posters mate, and a great Dland tour guide! Thanks!

Lads, I usually am working this time so can never listen live, but holidays now, sitting on a beach in Ibiza, managed to get the blessings from Mrs AmDam to tune in. I am one of the positive group, have looked at this season as part of a journey. A few thoughts: If not tanking, is it possible that the club has taken a two year approach? So at the start of the season they looked at 2019/20 as one season? We won't know of course til next year, but it seems like there was an assessment that this year would be a write-off, just couldn't be publicised due to hiatory of 'not tanking'? So some big risks were taken (surgeries, no KF besides wied and TMac, or outside run etc) prob thinking we'd end up around 8th and then gear up (not in essendon way) for the 'second half of the season' (2020)? We've then been hit by a perfect [censored] storm,which has then killed our skills. Or am I just delusional? Our inside 50 count is amazing. Perhaps the goal of this year was to keep that up, knowing that we would have trouble converting, but that if we then fix our transition and defensive running this off season, those inside 50s will come home to roost next year? Finally, silly season sees a lot of players and Aussies in Europe. Dusty had a infamously good time here with some mates of mine, prior to his best season ever. Maybe the club should send Angus over to us Shout out to Skuit and cheers for all your fine work

I'm surprised we didn't solve this issue in an online forum. Time to close thread?

Sure. Have a tablespoon of temperance, a pinch of perspective and a healthy dose of none histrionics.
-
Chill folks. It's [censored] but all about the journey. Goodie is learning too. [censored] yes, unexpected, no. We will come good
-
Haha, nah it was more a drunk on a beach in Goa vibe. Just landed at Schiphol though, should be home for opening bounce. Go Dees!
-
Yea, and then watch Robbo on Tuesday drunkenly slur (after having Stewie Dew on the show) 'Don't blame the Suns'. Nobody has, [censored] head.
-
Good onya for being earnest, Ernest. Let's not pull the shotgun out just yet. Go Dees

All fair points, but there's no way they didn't review it. For sure Goodwin has and is trying to learn from his and their mistakes. He is still learning how to balance media speak with his coaching duties, and I'm fairly sure that comment was to do with reinforcing the good habits that got us to the prelim, not dismissing the result of it. As for this website being a vehicle for comment and discussion, I am making a comment towards the general discussion. That's allowed, right? I just reckon too many succumb to the negative groupthink too easily. What we saw last year was growth and improvement. I feel very confident we will see the same this year and am not going to hit the panic button because of the trauma we have all endured over the years. This group has absolutely nothing to do with teams of the past and, in my view anyway, earned themselves enough credit last season for us to give them more leeway than just three rounds. Apologies if I came across as overly dismissive of the (somewhat) objective commentary. Stick fat Dees and support based on what we've seen over the journey, not just the recent bumps in the road. The media will do that for us, we don't need to join them.
