The worst decade in footy by a mile and we are halfway through

[MightyPies1]

Drugs in sport.

Recreational and peds.

Essendon.

People dying too young

Now perhaps the biggest immediate tragedy of all phil walsh.

Essendon an adelaide now both playing this year under duress.

And the gcs have been a bit of a disaster too.

Umbelievable tragedy today so sad.

Vale phil walsh.

 

[DERIBERATE]

Don't lump us with Essendon.

 

[wowlace]

Reflection of modern life. Bleak times. Football is just a passenger.

 

[MightyPies1]

your being lumped for the same outcome but completely different circumstances. Adelaide players will be messed up indefinately.

Adelaide clearly a big victim in all of this as I guess are fragments of essendon but certainly not all of essendon.

I'm not one for "rating" tragedies. They are personal and impact accordingly.

 

[Heaps of fun]

Not sure I agree with this.

 

[ManWithNoName]

Don't lump us with Essendon.

Contender for the worst post of the day.

 

[Docker Clint]

I'm pretty sure the war years when players were dying on the battlefield would outrank it

 

[Bluelegs]

Reckon the 1910's would have been pretty tough.

 

[outabounds]

The decades including 1914-1918 and 1939-45 may have been a tad more devastating.

 

[drummond2fevola]

You forgot that Collingwood also won a flag.

Correct, what a shocking thread.

 

[Furn2]

Been plenty of good stories too, thats life unfortunately.

 

[Quietos]

Nothing even remotely related to Essendon, or drugs or gold coast, dont disrespect walsh or the AFC or his family by lumping these together.

rest well walshy, you were a brilliant coach, for Adelaide, west coast and my boys,the comp, and; more importantly; your family, will be ever poorer for your loss.

 

[outabounds]

You forgot that Collingwood also won a flag.

And Carlton haven't.

 

[YES! YES! YES!]

But your team has won a flag.

Surely there are good moments this decade also.

 

[simba_]

the whole world is heading down the shitter

 

[vonn]

Can we merge all these doomsday threads into one convenient 'AFL & Life is really tough' megathread?

 

[YES! YES! YES!]

The decades including 1914-1918 and 1939-45 may have been a tad more devastating.

Not to mention the Great Depression in between those times.

 

[JohnnyFontane90]

sorry but all these issues have always been there. just there's much more comprehensive media coverage now.

 

[Roo Beauty]

Yeah, nah. This is a crap thread. 2010's don't even compare to the War years and to put drugs in sport and the failure of a franchise club in the same category of Phil Walsh's death is disrespectful.

 

[fishardansin]

The decades including 1914-1918 and 1939-45 may have been a tad more devastating.

Not as much media coverage!

 

[giggler99]

Sh!t thread is Sh!t.

 

[Roo Beauty]

Sh!t thread is Sh!t.

The word s**t doesn't trigger the sweat filter.

 

[FreeAgent1]

this isnt a great thread !!!
