Looking forward to the Carlton Brisso game this week. How good is it knowing that who ever loses your going to have a great big laugh at. If only I could decide which one I want to lose more. Brisbanes Shiteness is giving me so much joy at the moment. What a flog club. It's been said a million times but isn't Karma a great thing.

I've been involved with clubs who preach family, looking after their boys and push the positive nature of the environment so hard that it all starts to look contrived. This is Brisbane in a nutshell.

These things take time.
Think of the kids who developed an interest for AFL and picked Brisbane as their team off the back of their Grand Finals ...
... Many kids develop those interests and make those decisions when they're around 6 or 7 years old ...
... Those kids would now be around 20 years old today ...
... The kids that have gone to uni still haven't haven't entered the workforce yet and very few would be at the stage of buying memberships.

Bill Picken, Mark Orchard and Chris Tarrant are 3 that come to mind.

I'm interested in seeing the result, but there is no way I'll sit down and watch the game. The only interest I have is how Cripps scores in Supercoach

Hearing Dayne Beams has knee soreness and may not even play.

Hmmmm, everyone in his family has (dodgy) done a knee. Maybe we might dodge a bullet there.
If it happens. Truth is, I don't wish it on him, it would be a bullet dodged though.

Leppa did a no show without notice at his fellow premiership teammate's wedding, that's all you need to know that he's a s**t bloke.
Berating and grabbing a rookie when no one else is around is just confirmation.

I hear that's a common problem, the issue stemming from the added weight of carrying your team.

Why on earth would anyone anywhere on any topic on any forum on any board give a flying burrito if an opposition supporter "liked" a negative post? How f**king overly sensitive could a human being be? You suggest "troll likers" should be reported?? This is the Collingwood forum - not the Carlton forum or the Brisbane "we like to stir the off season pot but develop a 4 year old's attitude when reminded of it 0 wins from 5 games into the season" forum - if Brisbane supporters feel the need to like a post, any post, they can click away to their heart's content - Collingwood are and always have been a community minded club so we're happy to provide a therapeutic avenue for Lions supporters who would obviously struggle to find anything to like on the Brisbane board.

I'm hoping it will be a historic match that, for the first time, sees both teams losing. I'm confident they can find a way.
Yes, this thread continues to deliver.

You're welcome here
I work for Centrelink (DHS), and if I found they where involved in the giving any football team money, I'd withdraw my labour - I'm one of 11 people in the world who can do what I do, and $100k is not enough if they spend money on s**t like the Lions!

I totally know where you're coming from! I know of this family, who for at least the last 15 years have sat front row of the cheersquad at Victorian games. They used to keep the banner at their house when it was ready and then load it into a trailer and take it to the ground. Their house was and probably still is decked out in Brisbane memorabilia. By far the most passionate Brisbane supporters I know, and it cut me deep when we lost those two grandfinals, because they never let me hear the end of it. Anywho, I remember a day when I was probably 15 years old, my dad broke his ankle at a local footy game and got taken to hospital. He was my ride home, so the mother of this family gave me a lift to the hospital but made me go topless in her car because she wouldn't allow me to wear my Collingwood jumper in her car lol.
But now, I hardly hear a thing from them. Same deal about facebook, they're all quick on the status when they manage a win, but for the other 80% of the season they're unsighted and unheard.

I have a similar story re Brisbane supporting relations. They were unbearable during the dominant years. Just hideous. Thought it would go on forever. Although they did get me a ticket for the 2002 GF (amongst Brisbane members), which was nice of them. However, the experience was so scary it drove me to become a paid up member of the Pies, so I could buy my own ticket for the following year's GF. And then the world fell apart...
Anyway, you bearly hear a peep out of them nowadays, hardly a whisper. Truth is, they dont know what its like to support a club through good times and bad. Always filters out the true believers from the bandwaggoners.

You guys and your stories of Bears supporters...
I was born and raised into a Collingwood supporting family in Queensland. My father had a Bears membership (an actual Bears membership, pre-Lions days) so that we could go and see games, mainly for Collingwood, but also just for footy.
Geez, the things we've encountered. I don't even know where to start.
As a quick example. I was mistreated in the workplace by my boss who was a Lions supporter. When I was 11 and on the field after a game, I was kicking with dad and some bloke thought it would be funny to take a hanger on me - all 35kg of me. Just last year on Anzac day, I was down at the game in Melbourne and at quarter time I had a post on my facebook just saying "hahahahahaha" - it was good to win that one.
They don't get football, they never have. Here's the reason, remember this and bring it out whenever you need an explanation.
They're all rugby converts and misfits. Misfits in the sense that they probably grew up never following ANY sport let alone a complex masterpiece like ours, but when Brisbane got a team it was "hey, I'll be part of something here". They are part of something. A stain on the game.
The best we can do is just to let them do their thing and take no notice.

The irony is that if they didn't poach Beams a year before his contract expired, he probably could have walked to them for free in this year's PSD. This time next year they could of had Beams, Peter Wright, a key defender and Crisp.

Another Brisbane success story!
After producing hauls of 92 and 103 goals in 1986 and 1987, Capper managed 71 goals from 34 games in his three years with Brisbane. He blamed bitterness from teammates jealous of his huge pay packet for his failure.
