Wells 11

loved reading this thread. I don’t think i’ve ever felt so connected to the supporter base, nation wide, as right now. For the first time it’s like we see how much we really need each other. It def lifts my spirits to feel you all over there. gotta yell fr all of us.

To be honest the aspect of this article i appreciated the most was a far more accurate description of the failed merger from our perspective. How we fought it. Up until now it’s mainly been all about how we wanted it and the hawks didn’t. So i was glad to feel some deeper truth being brought to that time. It’s amazing what real success can do to address ongoing narratives about the club!

this 👆 Talk about tempting fate… for a frikn parade?

hope you guys bring up the issue of whether there will be one week or two weeks from PF to GF. i’m not really getting ahead of myself as we may or may not be there. But wonder what it will do to the port or the dees if they extend it to 2 weeks pre gf.

That’s a different commentary to what is being said here GNF. you’ve normally got great mail. not impressed with the car park proposal?

Agree to disagree HT. i guess to be fair to your point though, and adjust my original i reckon he was dead set gifted 2 and you could argue the toss on the other two. if it was against the dees i’d have a hard time swallowing that.

4 verrrry dubious free kicks fr 4 goals to weightman. that’s game changing umpiring.

Sheesh, talk about gifting the cats an armchair ride into the prelim. I dearly want him to get off to play against them but honestly i reckon this should be 6 weeks plus. This guy costs his team time and again… he’s brilliant but not a team player is he. Toby is All about Toby. In fact If i were the Giants i’d trade him and get a cpl of first rounders. You can’t grow a bonded team around this [censored].

i can only talk since 71 which is the year i really got the demon bug. def the best in my time. Yes i loved the schwartz, Lyon, charles, jakovich era but they were only ever great in patches, they weren’t half the “ team” of this group. We’ve sat on top most of the year and even our losses were a shock usually to bottom teams. IF they win the next two and take the flag then they would have won 20 games, drawn another and lost just 4 times. Without fully researching that I reckon that may put them up there in the top 10 ish of the most dominant teams of any club of any era. so, already best in my time. win the next two and i think we can start talking about them in even bigger terms .

great work WJ.

i know what you’re saying makes good sense, but i reckon we absolutely have to strike while the irons hot. THIS year. you never know w injuries and covid how time will play out. look at the cats , they are perennial top 4 now but since their golden era haven’t snagged another one. I’d swap 5 years of top 4 w no flag fr 1 golden year with one. it’s THIS year.. this is the moment. do we grab or let it slip.

we’ve had a week of peak happiness have we not. Love it but i’m seriously hoping i’m not still saying that about this week in a few weeks time!

Looking on from the outside now, instead of grimacing on the inside of this, it’s easy to be self righteous isn’t it?! No love for carlton mind you. I still enjoy watching them fail lol. it’s just that sense of “ there but for the grace of god go I” is large. That and a silent thank u whispered under my breath to paul roos and Jackson.

But ...but... “2 first rounders..Josh Mahoney folded... our recruiting is a disgrace” so glad we can finally put this topic to bed! Lever was a fantastic get. And we picked up Petty too ffs... forgot about that.

The last time we had a genuine bandwagon was 87 I reckon. I welcome every. single. one. For the older more bruised of us, like myself, we can take a particular pleasure that only those who have suffered know. But every sungle supporter who turns up at this hour brings a bit more joy to my heart.

Pretty level headed summary under the circumstances. Tmac clearly hampered

Mods Can we change the name of this thread please? how about just Oliver... superstar.

I’m in frikn quarantine in Tassie! Hmmm...87 was similar euphoria. But I have to say winning a minor premiership is a feat all on its own. The greatest achievement in my 50 years of supporting and done coming from 44 down with a kick after the siren. Nothing beats this in my history. Only a flag could eclipse this... and even if that doesn’t happen , no one can ever take this moment and minor flag away.

The GREATEST win I’ve seen from the club. As happy and proud as I’ve ever felt as a supporter. I’m sure the Brisbane boys just gulped hard .

it’s horrible .. but in a way it’s a great wake up pre finals.

at least it’s not a final :-(

Yep. Me too.

worst of all possible may be coming our way. must win tom.

they’ve been getting beaten since half way thru the 1st i reckon

Honestly , the fact that this was leaked feels like trouble to me.
