According to google, the Aztecs were the first to cultivate and utilize popcorn, used for religious ceremonies and decoration.
They likely ate it afterwards :think:
It seems that whenever the source of discoveries is unknown, it's either the Aztecs or the Inca's. I think this will remain one of life's mysteries

I think the real hero is the person who discovered that if you add butter it's even better. But we are still none the wiser to the actual discoverer
An unsung hero like the bloke that took a punt on eating magic mushrooms and not only survived but memorised every Pink Floyd song afterwards. Magic Mushy beef welly would be insane
 
Is anyone here involved in any official supporters groups and/or have interest being made aware of any community get-togethers (e.g watching at a pub, or similar)?

I manage the Canberra group and I’m wondering if people would generally be interested in a new thread on group get togethers so that they can be made aware of any Watch Parties in their area?

Asking here as I figure others might also want to join forces

 
I've got us dropping Crows game and Freo beating Lions. For this finals predictor.

It’s now or never for us in the finals this season. Well not never but you get what I’m saying.
We have seen this coming for years. The old players, topping up rather than blooding and recruiting young players. Will one flag be enough for this strategy. The the lack of good recruitment has been an issue. No key defenders, no second ruck and no tall key forwards.

I guess if we were the saints then yes one flag in this period would be enough but it’s just my opinion that one is definitely unders. I don’t think we can win this year and I don’t think the strategy of players not picks is very sound. Honestly I think the good times are over, we’ll be competitive in the next few years simply because of Nick but it’s the same pattern again.
We win a flag with what is a good team but not a dominant team then be competitive for a few years then drop back. Happened after 1990, 2010, and it’s going that way again after 23. I’m still unsure if it was the best strategy to top up.

I know we all see the cliff coming with our age but I hope we don’t keep getting other clubs rejects and the club actually has a draft strategy of development some Key position players not the usual 195 cm and below forwards who seem to be the only option we have. Then you watch the doggies and they unleash another recruit who’s above 200cm and is a forward.

Anyway just my thoughts, 23 was great and unexpected but I have doubts about our future. I don’t want us to be stuck in that middle rung of the ladder not being able to get out because of the tassie team.
 
Reports of our demise will be greatly exaggerated. There will be no cliff. We will regenerate through free agency and trading players which is the right way to go given we know what we will get rather than the crap shoot of the draft which never works.
I have faith in our staff and system. We should be up there Geelong style for a long time to come.
