that’s why I always wear pleated ones with a leather belt

Add socks with sandals and you could be anything from a science teacher to a pedo.

I think the crows are still pretty shit in most facets,

Yep but that's in their DNA.

A list that I think will improve a lot from last year and have a very favourable draw this year.

No excuses for not making the eight this year.

They'll sack Nicks if they don't make it this year.

Are clubs allowed to sack underperforming staff? Asking on behalf of that bald headed con artist running our club.

I think our issue is that the Club feels that we have no underperforming staff. It's only on BF that we think the emperor has no clothes...

Then we need to change the motto from " We exist to win premierships" to "We just hope everyone has a nice time"

Worth noting that at least Adelaide and St Kilda have made GFs in the past 20 years.

Seriously so depressing. I personally still think we're miles away too.

Also worth noting that we have too, and freo.

Not that anything other than a premiership really matters. The lack of GF's let alone premierships makes Hinkley's record look even more hideous but in hindsight had we made the 2021 or 2024 GF's we probably would've got absolutely smashed and perhaps losing the prelim was the lesser of two evils. 2014 and 2020 were the golden opportunities.

When we finally get to our next GF, we have to win the bloody thing.

Yep sorry I meant 17 years (ie since we last made it)

Agree with most of your post, although I still say we would have lost the GF in 2020.

Was reminded of the uniqueness of Aussie Footy about 10 minutes ago watching the wildcard finals game in NFL between 6th Washington and 3rd Tampa Bay.

With 3 seconds to go Washington get a field goal attempt to break a 20 all dead lock and their first finals win since 2005. Field goal attempt was from 25 yards out and not a great kick,. Kicker almost aimed for the right goal post and it hit the inside of the post and went thru for a goal and Washington win the game and progress to play 1st seed Detroit.

A decent chunk of Aussie Footy fans want something similiar and the rules to change. But our game you get a score for missing. So until that changes, you hit the post, you get a behind. Bad luck if the ball goes off inside of the post and thru the goals.

The rule gave me so much pleasure when Siciliy hit the post in the SF. Cant remember if it was on the inside or outside of the post.

Just lucky the Hocs didn't play as phenomenally well as Sydney did the following week.

How unlucky were we that the Swannies were such an unstoppable force in the PF but played like sh!t in the GF?

We woulda smashed Brizvegas had we not been unlucky

Welcome to the paying for it part of the 'let's all make ourselves feel good by pushing for a Tasmanian team in the AFL despite there being no economic case for it' movement.

We don't need more teams, we need less.

4 VIC teams need to go. Everyone can work out who they are.

Apparently Todd Marshall has done his Achilles - Lukosius becomes very important now.
