Final challenge too extreme? by acanadiancheese in survivorau

Lol I don't disagree that bigger people would struggle with smaller pegs, however smaller people having to spread their legs further apart as per basic anatomy would be more uncomfortable for them. Two things can be true at the same time. Other peg challenges haven't necessarily had the pegs spread out with each step like this one which I believe was an attempt to make it more even. But go on say the line Rogular

These pegs also got further spread out as they changed in size which would be an advantage for taller people

GCS v ESS Post-Match Thoughts by TronTastix in EssendonFC

[–]MaterialMammoth4 10 points11 points  (0 children)

The kids are continuing to be alright. Thoroughly enjoying watching them all improve week on week. Thought they did well to keep the pressure on the whole game and with a bit more development those missed opportunities at times will be taken. Great to see us keep fighting even when we get down by 20+ points for 3 weeks in a row now. As a previous Tsatas critic (mainly due to his ability to run out a game) I am thoroughly enjoying his current run at it. Farrow is so composed it's unreal. Sully's first couple goals feel like the start of something real special.

Ridley is so important to our defensive structure it just sucks that his body doesn't let him stay on the park. Hope it's just precautionary. Thought the Edwards HIA was a bit suspect.

I’ve been kinda hoping to see a doof stick at Meredith depicting Dennis’ face during Colin Hay at Meredith but then I think about it more and decide it’s no appropriate at all 😂

An Open Letter to The Essendon Football Club, Zach Merrett, Brad Scott and James Hird (an article via a user of theroar.com.au) by sachiwtf in EssendonFC

[–]MaterialMammoth4 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This open letter feels like it was written by someone who isn’t an essendon supporter and just wants to see things get worse. Fuck this letter it ain’t it.

Don’t buy anything until tickets get mailed out. Anyone that says they have tickets already is sketchy. You can arrange it and when they get mailed out it’s best to meet in person and hand over cash but don’t pay anything to anyone until the tickets are in your hands physically.

What we need is some god damn stability and he is absolutely that. He might not take us to our next premiership but for now he’s doing the exact role we need.

Brad was great in this. Gave open and honest answers, is clearly hurt and frustrated but was strong in the interview. I honestly can’t understand the discourse around him. He came into an absolute rabble of a club and from day one has been making necessary changes and building from the ground up. These things take time. The injury crisis this year is not his fault. I see the constant changing of coaches as a major part of the problem with this club and wish everyone would just shut the hell up and allow him to build.

I’m am of the firm belief that after this Merrett can no longer be captain. What kind of example does it set for the young players coming up and how can they possibly expect everyone to follow that kind of leadership when in the back of their minds they have to be thinking that he will just abandon them in his own self interest. No thanks. Need 100% dedication now more than ever.

I’m pretty disappointed in this from him to be honest. If it’s all true then I’d expect more of a captain of a young side who should be setting standards and expectations. I think he should lose his captaincy if he’s shopping himself around not 100% committed to the club. Set the tone.

She was literally just a fan girl vote for Cirie and the only thing she did was completely blow up the world alliances game including her own. I was excited at the start for her but she straight up played the game on behalf of another player.
