yeh, my first reaction to his utterly childish outburst was who the heck is thi sbastard ?? OK he hates us for beating em by one point, does the turd recall the year before WE lost a PF by one lousy point and lost a PF to his mob in 2019 by two points ????? Yet, we never whinged. or complained. Maybe this flog and that sore loser May should be golf buddies, two total losers. This will only fire us up for GWS now, Fly will use this now. :o :x
So good to see others like you exposing the double standards Piesnchess. I hate this more than anything else. It would be nice to shut the whingers up.

I'm actually quite relaxed, not feeling fired up, just chilled.
I quite enjoyed the feeling of winning 2023, it was different to the others. Looking forward to 2024 confident that we're going to be good to watch and will be in contention again come finals.
I'm just going to enjoy the season for what it is and not worry about flags until we make the GF.
Every dead body on Mt Everest was once a highly motivated person, so maybe just calm the **** down.

^ Yeh true. Im pretty chilled , yes. Had we lost the GF by few points, id be like really back in my shell, sensing the wobbles were back, be very tense now. But, we are the reigning Premiers, under one hell of a great coach, so all good, and laid back. Now I can watch us in relative peace and calm sanity ! No more stress, for now, that is.

Thie biggest challenge us fans will face all season is that of expectation.

I suspect last year we were hoping we could win the flag (with some jusfitication), but now that we have and our team has demonstrated it is very good, there will be a part of all of us which goes into every game thinking we should and will get the points - which can result in frustration when that doesnt always happen...
It's never as good/nor bad as it seems...

Just changed the Premiers flag to the latest club one on the flag pole. Nice stiff breeze has it flying very nicely.
Pity I'll be at work for the opening game... can't wait to get this show on the road!
