I don't G.A.F.F. that we beat Hawthorn. It's next week that matters.

Your really confident but brisbane are the best side regardless?

I dont know how to compute this.

I think that, on any random given day, at any random given location, in 2025, Brisbane are a better side.

However, they are pretty banged up, we are playing in our home state, we've just absolutely belted them, and we are absolutely humming, with a full list to choose from bar Stewart, maybe Stanley, and arguably Guthrie and Kolo. Hence, us.

I’m guessing(hoping?) he already had plans B and C in the works, but didn’t need to use them in that first final.

The Geelong coaching staff seems to have practiced just about every change on earth throughout the season short of gluing Miers onto Stengle and sending that into the ruck.

Bring it on.
As long as the umpires are switched on to their diving staging and flopping tactics which reaped at least 3 goals last game.

and we are as well and don't reflexively reach down when they put their heads at our guys' hips.

I'm Nigel Lappin's barista and I can confirm this.

I now know that Nigel is being taken care of very well.
A private barista, We really do think outside of the box.

Not sure what you’re saying.
Pity you just make statements and don’t back up with logical argument.
My post is mainly straight forward with stats and some subjective matter as well.
If you don’t understand my logic I can’t help you.
If you can’t make your own argument I can’t help you.
I look for positivity in this team after what they have achieved this century.
Simple really

There was no next week if we didnt beat hawthorn.

There is no enjoyment in football if you only wait until after a flag is won.

Think about it

Too right!. We can only cross each bridge as we come to it. As we cross it is a good thing to look back the way we came as well as forward to where we are going.

Completely true.

Imagine being a StKilda, Essendon or Carlton fan, while maintaining that you only enjoy football when a flag is won. You'd spend a long, long time angry.

One of the really nice and unexpected things about the 2009 flag is that it allowed me to start just enjoying AFL footy for its own sakes, not just premiership-or-bust. I'd say that now I'm perhaps not as desperate in my footy following, but I enjoy it more.

That said, this could just be because I'm more mellow than I was in my 20s.

The OP is correct. Now we just have to beat them in 2 GF's, a semi, a pre season GF, and a few home and away games that actually ends their season. A lot of work still to do.

What is this garbage? Hawk supporter?

Mengle! A nightmare prospect for the opposition…

I read this as Mengele. A nightmare indeed

 

[D BRIDGE]

Title of the thread is correct.

We sit on the losers bench with every other team not named Brisbane.

Zero bragging rights over anyone.

Flag or nothing.

It's ok. The Henrys and Guthries are brothers, not twins...

 

[kickazz]

I get your point, but looking back, I had a ****ing great night.

Agreed, at the very least we eliminated them from contention. VERY satisfying.
