  1. I have a new found respect for dogs supporters to be honest. Some good comments in there
  2. The finals wins were statements for sure, but I never felt we were a shot of making the GF in 2018, let alone winning it. Beating the Tigers this year isn't such a big deal, plenty of teams have. They aren't even top 8 right now. This year is different, and this game is different. 1st vs 2nd, winner walks away as the team to beat in 2021. Will we continue to rise this year or slowly taper away? I feel like this game is going to tell us a lot
  3. Win, lose or draw if the boys arrive and play with the same intensity that got most of our wins this year I'll enjoy the show Carn Demons, the opportunity for the biggest statement we've made in decades awaits

    Having the time and desire to post under multiple accounts for the purposes of trolling is truly the hallmark of a very sad existence

    Consider it operational security. Why divulge information the oppo can plan around? It's not hard to understand, surely.

    On the other hand, Trelor out is significant for them ...

    I reckon we'll get up too. Adelaide was the kick up the a$$ we needed, especially confident if Viney gets up.
  8. Why start a thread if you aren't prepared for people to disagree with you? The sky is falling is the perfect analogy to this highly predictable thread after a loss. Your points may have been better received had you shared them before we lost a game, but this is just like many other boring reactionary threads with hardly any meaningful insights other than identifying who hasn't been playing well lately. "I am trying to be measured here and some of this can be overcome but here is why we wont win a GF soon." You did not say what you think you said
  9. 9-1 and apparently the sky is falling. Take a deep breath everyone, we we're beaten for the first time this year against a team at home playing well. So what, it's not like we were never gonna lose a game again ...
  10. I hope May lays Tex Walker out today. Remember when he said Lever left Adelaide and chose money over success haha ?

    Easily my fav one so far. Looks incredible!!
  12. These are my fav threads these days. Oh how the tables have turned
  13. Really good interview - great work Deeluded I'm very impressed with Kate. She seems humble and very down to earth, but also strikes me as a very powerful presence with a clear set of credentials on display that bodes well for her success in the role. Happy days
  14. Not true, block chain transactions are in many cases traceable with the right resources. Additionally, the transaction of coin to fiat is highly traceable (the ATO is all over it these days). 10 years ago it was untraceable, but todays block chain analysis engines have put a stop to that.
  15. I don't have a horse in this race, but I do find it curious that the original premise of crypto currencies was to take the power away from the evil banking corporations, yet ironically the same power has just been shifted to billionaires like Elon Musk who manipulate the markets for personal gain. Human nature will always prevail, regardless of the innovations to counter it.

    I'd definitely listen to it
  17. Of course Hardwick wants prior removed, it suits their manic pressure game style perfectly. I actually think this might be one of the dumbest idea's I've ever heard. It only serves to deliver 2 negative outcomes, and no positives ones: Players will be less inclined to take possession of the footy. I envision A-league style tactics would come to the fore. There will be a huge increase in HTB's paid, which can only slow the game down. So much so I think it would start to resemble the NRL with constant stoppages. Back in your box Dimma ...
  18. BB has had 3 runs at it and isn't convincing, why wouldn't you rather see more than a week from the weed? I would like to think we are past the days of bringing key players in for one week only, only to drop them
  19. In the context of 2021, im more thinking about the difference between trac and dusty
  20. And therein lies the key. One can be a star during the season, but until you do it in September and contribute to a flag (or multiple flags), can one really be considered A+?
  21. If we won a flag I'd be keen on that 100%
  22. Who knew how fun it was to follow a genuinely good team I don't think I've ever been this into footy
  23. I don’t get the hate for weed in here. For his first game back in a long time I thought he held his own and did a number of really good things. No one comes off an extended period on the sidelines and rips their first game apart. He’ll be better for the run and I still think he is about to surprise a lot of people.
  24. No change please
