For still-winless Adelaide coach Matthew Nicks, the pandemic lifestyle has brought one incidental benefit. Though he played his footy in relative anonymity in Sydney, he grew up in Adelaide and worked for Port Adelaide for seven years after retirement, and he knows that as defeat follows defeat for the Crows, there is seething in the streets.
“But I live quite a sheltered life at the moment,” he said. “I’m not allowed out in public. I can’t go to a cafe. Fortunately or unfortunately, I don’t hear a lot of the noise. That’s our entire group. I’m sure if you walk down the main street of Glenelg, you’ll hear quite a bit of the criticism we don’t get, because we’re not allowed down there.”
But in all other ways, COVID-19 has been a superbug for Adelaide. Nicks understands that all clubs are toiling under restrictions and opacity, but says they could not have come at a worse time for the Crows. “As a first-year coach, if you were told you weren’t able to train throughout your first year you’d be reasonably sceptical about taking the role,” he said. Adelaide coach Matthew Nicks. ''Fortunately or unfortunately, I don’t hear a lot of the noise.''
Like every new coach, he came with a new plan. “There’s some theory behind it all, and we’ve done some great work in that space,” he said. “But you don’t change habits until you actually get out there and run through it over and over and over.” Minimal training has made it hard for young players to form habits, harder still for veteran to break them. “When you talk about changing a game plan, they’re finding it the hardest,” he said.

Even left field is out of bounds. “If you go old school, you’d all go and have a beer together now.” Nicks said. “You’d have an honesty session, get the truth serum in and talk it out. But that’s impossible at this point in time. There’s a lot of pressure on players to do the right thing.”
Nicks makes it clear that he is not hiding behind being hidden. He and the club are shocked at where they find themselves. “We’re not a new side in the competition. We’re a big club,” he said. “We played in a grand final less than four years ago. We were in that window of getting there.
“Now we’re in a rebuild. But we thought we still had a really strong core of good players who would enable us to compete week in, week out. To get to 12 games in and not have a win, there’s obviously a fair of pressure.”
Within, there’s no panic. Personally, he’s not losing sle

Please read what I have written for you all below, and so learn to simply 'be' what you are in reality -
In the be-ginning there was 'nought'.
There was zero.
There was absolutely nothing.
And I the be-ing now reading these words, came out of that nought/zero/absolutely nothing.
I am 'the one'.
So, how exactly did I/nought/zero/absolutely nothing eventually manage to become the one?
Well, I simply changed from nought/zero/absolutely nothing to thinking/thought.
From originally be-ing the never ending state of 'complete stillness' behind this existence (GOD's mind).
To so be-coming the movement/motion/e-motion within my human mind.
To so in turn have be-come that person that I mistakenly think/be-lieve that I am today.
But, who in reality I AM NOT.
Now, the question then naturally be-comes.
How 'on earth' can I (the one), eventually work my way back home to nought/zero/absolutely nothing?
To my original source?
To that never ending state of 'complete stillness' (of be-ing) be-hind this existence?
To GOD'S mind?
Well logically, I (the one) will have to actually cleanse my human mind of all of that said thinking/thought in order to eventually do just that.
I (the one) will have to actually cleanse my human mind of my false/fake personality.
The screen of pretence.
And yes, once I (the one) have eventually managed to do that.
I (the one) will then have completely 'stilled' my human mind.
And so 'unified' the two realms.
The existential, and the non existential.
And I (the one) will then know (having realised) that I am nought/zero/absolutely nothing.
That I am in fact GOD.
The creator of absolutely everything, and so every-one.
At which point I can then completely disappear once again.
Both the being that I am, along with the person that I mistakenly thought/believed myself to be.

Hi all. Could someone make a sweet picture with this quote for me?
Edit: *intent
Kontrollen im handel: "wie soll das gehen? Sind ja alle nicht geschult" Spoiler alert: ich weiß aus guter quelle, dass es in hamburg 1A funktioniert, seit zumindest anfang dezember.
Neue maßnahmen, touristiker: "wie soll das gehen?"
Impfpflicht: "wie soll das gehen?"
Kurzum: österreich kanns nicht mehr. Zu faul, zu phantasielos, oder zu blöd.
Und dann "Wie, wir lassen durchlaufen? Wer schützt uns? Regierung hat versagt!!11!zwölf!!!". An sch**ß, die bevölkerung versagt grad auf voller linie.
Und mit den falsch getragenen masken fang ich erst gar nicht an.
As the blade was pushed into the back of my neck, I heard a whisper: “say hello to your family for me.”
