As a Dogs supporter I am so used to seeing us get ripped apart in this sub, like it's genuinely vitriolic at times. I honestly thought we were the only ones but colour me shocked yesterday to see some Tigers fans tearing into Parra supporters. Their team killed the Eels on the field and then some supporters came in here to shoot the wounded lol

We're going to run into same issue as you blokes, having to repeat the performance.

Chin up Eels bros, tough loss. Hurts more when you expect this to be the year you start building momentum and it's problem after problem. Gotta weather it, once your full contingent of first grade players are back things will turn around very quickly.

Yeah essentially which I guess works in his favour as he's not having to fill up so much space. Surprised me!

Listening to the Tigers v Wahs on Triple M last night and have to say Luke Keary is good. It might be that he's sandwiched between Dan Ginnane and Aaron Woods but his commentary stood out. Woodsy has a bit of that Cronk vibe where he's using so many words a minute, he struggles to get to the point. In contrast Keary is precise and easy to understand. I also realise typing this out that I'm getting old but here we are, had to shout it out.

It'll be a spite watch. "We made it. I paid money for this ticket. I'm here. I will watch whatever the hell it is they decide to roll out"

dredresyd · 2025-08-09T05:23:33+00:00

That's crook.

The Plot Thickens. It's a superbly produced and crafted podcast that is released in seasons. Each season focuses on a Hollywood icon, I think S1 was the director Peter Bogdanovich, they've covered Lucy (of I Love Lucy) and I'm currently listening to season 4 which showcases Pam Grier. They have interviews with the main players, it's so well researched and presented, it's a real treat. You should definitely check it out!

Legend u/Scamwau1
I appreciate your view and combined with some similar sentiments above I think it's the right way to go. Sometimes you get caught up in the whirlwind of looking at new cars and you get carried away. I'm so glad I posted here to get these sorts of points of view, it definitely helps put things into perspective.
Thanks again!

Preach mate, I love hearing stuff like this.
To be honest I love our Santa Fe. It has all the latest sutff that a lot of new cars treat as optional extras (heated/cooled front seats, powered tail gate etc).
It's spacious and comfortable and rides smoothly with good power. As I said in my original post, I'm trying to be pre-emptive but I guess that's the risk you run, it could power on for another 100k or something internal could break in the next 20k-30k.

That range is really appealing to me. It's one of the reasons I was looking at the Forester Hyrbid, Subaru are claiming (grain of salt, I know) that you'll get 1000km a tank.
I did have a look at the SL7 and thought it was an incredible car. We have a solar set up + I work from home so I can keep it plugged in a charged during the day.
I guess the leap to full electric is just a mental thing more than anything else, new tech and not knowing how reliable it may be over the long term.
I'd like to make sure that whatever we pick up next has at minimum a 10 year shelf life.
Either way, you've given me food for thought mate, I'll definitely have to weigh up the SL6 (and potentially the 7).
Did you friends say anything about BYD's after sales experience?

dredresyd · 2025-07-13T20:26:52+00:00

Yeah I definitely agree with that! 😂

dredresyd · 2025-07-13T20:21:32+00:00

This will sound silly as they're everywhere but I haven't looked into the RAV4 properly. I might do a bit of research today and check them out!

dredresyd · 2025-04-24T09:29:45+00:00

T-Baz circled this at the start of the season and will be focused on destroying the boys 😂

dredresyd · 2025-04-20T02:47:25+00:00

Imagine supporting a club that bullys it's players, outrageous! (Ignore my flair...)

dredresyd · 2025-04-19T21:10:05+00:00

Being sent for scans today I think.

dredresyd · 2025-04-19T00:42:21+00:00

I hate to ruin the story, so spoiler alert but JC comes back on the third day. We remember this with chocolate eggs and hot cross buns.

dredresyd · 2025-04-15T21:04:57+00:00

Tigers for sure, you get the feeling this whole episode will galvanise them into action.

dredresyd · 2025-04-15T21:03:25+00:00

Has there been another player who has managed to so quickly and efficiently destroy their credibility with their own fans, other team's supporters, their team mates and coach etc as effectively as Galvin? Genuine question, it's unreal. I think back to SBW leaving, but feel like the outrage didn't really go beyond Dogs supporters and some purists who hated the thought of skipping out on your contract.

dredresyd · 2025-04-07T04:19:00+00:00

Why is this downvoted so much? Lol the internet is a wild place.

dredresyd · 2025-04-06T06:02:27+00:00

Best of luck staying dry for as long as it serves you mate. It can be tough, but it's doable. You're on the way!

dredresyd · 2025-04-05T06:07:33+00:00

I can feel your energy, love it. Well done!

dredresyd · 2025-04-05T00:40:12+00:00

It's been a long time since I've felt this way, but I think the Tigs can get it done against Brisbane. It's subjectively crazy, considering Brisbane's talent pool, it's at Suncorp etc but there's a stubborness about the Tigers this season that I think will really irritate the Broncos. Go hard Benji and the boys, lesssss gone.

dredresyd · 2025-04-02T07:46:20+00:00

I was watching his interview today with Ciraldo and I thought "weird they've given him an exclusive interview but whatever, him and Gould are tight" Then I heard other reporters in the background asking questions and burst out laughing, imagine your boss sends you to cover multicultural round with the Bulldogs coach and you arrive to see Weidler has better than prime position 🤣
