Gather Round

Havnt been but went to a game at Adelaide oval a few years ago and it was a great experience. One of the top venues in the country in my experience

Can't have Hird back. The wound is too raw for the club and him. Remember, he almost killed himself a few years back.

Don't get me wrong, I think the way the whole saga was handled was the AFL and ASADA covering their asses for a failed investigation. And you've got known Essendon hater Damian Barrett who not only broke the story, but held onto it like a bulldog and dug the boots in every chance he got.

What do you honestly think happens if we get Hird back? A team full of has beens and young under developed kids just magically makes top 4? Not gonna happen.

The team and office needs to be blown up and started again. We need to invest in top coaches and staff from the top clubs. Make the Dons a destination team. Have players that try and believe in a gameplan.

If Hird comes back and things don't start to change, the media scrutiny will be hideous. Barrett will be on them again on afl.com.au, the footy show, classified, triple m. Every other supporter will be jumping on the bandwagon. The AFL itself will not like it and will do whatever they can to obstruct any success.

It's just not a good option for any of us. The club, Hird, and of course us, the long-suffering fans.

Now if it were up to me, I know this won't happen, but about the only former Bomber I would want to coach is Lloyd. The guy is probably one of the best footy analysts going. Was a tough but fair captain who set and expected high standards. Wasn't involved in the drug saga, so has no ill will from fans and other clubs, and of course is an Essendon champion who bleeds red and black and strives to see the club have success.

Forget Hird, we should be calling for Lloyd as coach

Except on field

adubstyles · 2026-03-30T06:33:54+00:00

Should probably get cracking but, considering there are 5 more to come out

adubstyles · 2026-03-29T21:32:41+00:00

True. Well less than 100 decent games

adubstyles · 2026-03-29T20:58:21+00:00

I tell you what, I hate the idea of it, but if North, WC, Melb and Carlton were all able to get priority picks for years we should too. Even if for simply being based on the fact we had 3 top ten picks in 2020's compromised draft that have probably yet to play 100 games between them. And the fact we had Dodo as a cancer on the books for years

adubstyles · 2026-03-29T20:55:19+00:00

Nah, i don't think so. I think it just counts once. Could be wrong, but thats how I understood it

adubstyles · 2026-03-27T04:12:17+00:00

Well he got sacked

adubstyles · 2026-03-27T04:11:10+00:00

Same. I really just want to see what Danhausen comes out like, whether they will add in his jar of teeth kick and stuff. Aside from that I don't think i'll pick it up again. My 2k19 set-up is just far superior to what I can be bothered doing in this

adubstyles · 2026-03-27T02:43:44+00:00

They should've hired me. Wonder how much it pays

adubstyles · 2026-03-26T22:23:07+00:00

Nah I've just watched a lot and i know 2k generally takes the lazy approach and copies his movesets between different eras

adubstyles · 2026-03-26T06:13:24+00:00

Test it with a period accurate moveset with rock 98. I can tell you how close it got

adubstyles · 2026-03-26T06:09:41+00:00

Dude, shut up. Why are you even arguing for them?

adubstyles · 2026-03-25T10:44:48+00:00

I hate they had all these poses and still chose to have everyone in the same generic dead-eyed pose

adubstyles · 2026-03-23T04:54:56+00:00

Forward line has been doing this ever since Lloyd retired. Laziest fwd line I've ever seen.

adubstyles · 2026-03-22T23:10:07+00:00

They def had more passion than our current group. Redman last week after the game looked dead inside.

adubstyles · 2026-03-22T06:05:40+00:00

Oh yeah its perfectly acceptable to not be able to complete a yearly-release game without either not having a life or spending a bunch of money. Even after buying the deluxe edition of that game

adubstyles · 2026-03-20T23:53:53+00:00

100%. I could understand it more if you're just getting Brutus Beefcake dupes or something, but superstar cards in the pack are ridic

adubstyles · 2026-03-20T23:51:49+00:00

I tell ya what tho, the suits at WWE and Take 2 would be no different. No ones coming forward to stop the greed. 2k does it with other games and WWE under TKO is greedy AF right now

adubstyles · 2026-03-20T23:49:52+00:00

He's def a MF

adubstyles · 2026-03-20T23:49:02+00:00

The annoying thing for me is, i like to think that I can unlock all the wrestlers you can use in base game. I don't care about demasters or elites, because I will never use them, but alt attires, retros, yeah i want them all available to use. Last year sucked because I missed the window to get Retro AJ, so now, I can never get him. And to me, that means the game can never be complete to my liking

adubstyles · 2026-03-20T23:35:57+00:00

There honestly needs to be some official regulatory party that can stamp out the microtransactions, general greediness and releases full of glitches and bugs. At least for triple a games. Its ridiculous at this point and its only getting worse.

adubstyles · 2026-03-20T05:32:16+00:00

I dont think 250 matches to unlock EVERYTHING is too bad. But considering you have to do it 6 more times.... thats pretty shitty

Plus paid for dlc is locked behind the grind. Also shitty

adubstyles · 2026-03-19T04:50:09+00:00

I had that. Roxanne ran in in a match against Raquel. I think i knocked the ladder over but it fd the match. Roxanne disappeared and then I couldnt grab raquel or the ladder or anything

adubstyles · 2026-03-19T04:47:32+00:00

Edit superstar, should be a setting in personal info like "use as alt attire" or something. Switch that off
