The main takeaway for mine is that the incredible facility out at Casey includes indoor kicking areas. Take note, anti-soccer ball brigade! 😅

The Demon Army will be in Section 213 in the Eastern Stand, next to The Verandah area.

Great to see the Hawks deflated for the usual reasons but mainly coz I hate the thought of Nick Watson being happy.

Fully agree, Ang. Except for the bit about you being a grumpy person. 🙂

I’ll be at all three of them. The good thing is they’re all early/mid afternoon time-slots which allows same day FIFO meaning no accommodation costs 🥳

Three interstate games in a row 👎🏽

No Thursday or Friday nights for us

Rounds 16 - 23

Rest In Peace, Wallsy. Thanks for the wonderful memories 💔

This week’s banner will say… GIVE IT YOUR ALL WITHOUT REGRET ANOTHER TRIP WE WON’T FORGET TRIP is in a different colour. Of course, by TRIP we mean our trip to Brisbane, not something that happened during our match last week which went unpunished 😉

Spot on, FG 👍🏽

More specifically, it’s the mind-numbing repetition that drives me nuts. Eg. We went out in straight sets in ‘22 and ‘23. This is repeated at every possible opportunity, and if no opportunity presents itself? Hell, let’s mention it anyways. It’s also the contamination of threads like the NON-MFC thread. Every single week someone has to pot Goody and/or our club in this thread despite it being NON-MFC. I choose to avoid certain threads because I don’t wanna read such posts; that’s my prerogative. But it’s becoming increasingly harder to avoid when it seems every thread is fair game. Edit: the irony’s not lost on me. I’m actually posting in the Time To Go Goody thread. Dunno how I landed here but am proud to have weathered it 😅

😘

We cheer everything!!! 🥳

“Do better.” Is that all ya got? Dude, do better

Oi, without us enablers there’d be no cheer squad! 😆

Except you agree WHOLEHEARTEDLY and not partially

I take issue with all three of your sentences: Just because the negativity was worse in the past doesn’t mean it’s acceptable now. Negativity may be in your DNA and that of many others on here but it’s not the case for everyone. I’m not trying to change anything. I simply replied to a question about the reasons for the significant drop in engagement on this site. The only part of your post that doesn’t bother me is being called Sweet Summer Child which is actually very cool even if the intention was condescension 🤷‍♀️

Captain’s run at the ‘Gabba on Saturday 3pm-3:45pm. Free entry. Enter through Gate 2 which opens at 2:30pm. Signatures and selfies opportunities afterwards. Relax, no soccer balls at this session 🫣

In my opinion the suffocating negativity and pessimism is doing it. For some folks coming on here is too difficult due to that, as well as the attendant bitchiness, especially is there’s other challenges in life going on at the same time. Not winning is another reason, of course. I joined in April 2021 when the going was great but even then the snarky comments were there but not to the degree with which they now abound.

I acknowledge your view but the last thing this site needs is more people not engaging in any capacity whatsoever. There’s an undeniable drop-off in numbers in terms of people engaging on this site. Some people are comfortable just reacting, favourably or not. Reaction emojis are there for a reason.

Your definition of narcissistic is completely different fo mine, borderline or otherwise. No poster is obliged to comment… ever. Everyone is free to react to any post as they see fit. Not everyone wants to explain the reason for their reaction, nor should they be cajoled into doing so.

I agree, Slartiblastfart 😜 Seriously though, the flush and captain’s runs are not serious training sessions; they’re not training sessions at all. They have their merit though. Besides, it’s an hour per week - sometimes 40 minutes - all up, out of many, many hours spent on various other types of training which we don’t witness. Interestingly, a lot of the shots on goal at Gosch’s are nailed; more than one would expect from a team that can’t boast accuracy on gameday. Maybe the pressure to kick goals during a match affects some players. Replicating gameday conditions is impossible.

Not if I see you first 😝

Thanks HW, but I chatted to some of the girls on Saturday before the match and they said preseason starts today.
