And then there were 2 to break drought - Saints and Dees

[Gavin Excell]

Does the success of Dogs and Tigers offer hope for Saints and Melbourne fans?

 

[LeverPuller]

The dream lives.

Need to break the September drought and the North thing first.

 

[Kick It 2 Me]

What about Carlton? 22 years and counting.

 

[Lightsxo]

The Saints will never win a flag in my lifetime.

I've given up.

Hope my friends at the Demons can have more luck but you guys seem rooted too

 

[TeeJay Blue]

It should offer hope for my team as well (although it will take just a bit longer).

For once I want to be less excited about trade week.

Always hope

Its probably more level playing field than in the pre AFL days

 

[LeverPuller]

What about Carlton? 22 years and counting.

Get back to me when there are supporters in their 40s who weren't around for the last flag. Nowhere near on the same level.

 

[NathanMX]

I believe always that we will find success, as many Dogs and Tigers fans have for generations.

If I was to jump off/give up and we were to win a flag it would be a very empty feeling, as I am sure the few who did give up on the last two premiers can attest to.

Bring on 2018.

I had hope in 2009 and your team tore that away from me.

Didn't really help we ****ing drew a grand final the year after.

It would laughable if it didn't hurt so much

 

[Dee Train]

22 years ain't a drought mate...... we are drier than a dead dingoes donga compared to that

 

[Dee Train]

How's my family tracking, half Saints, half Dees......SFA for over 50 years for either team. Great to see the dogs and Tiges win for their fans so I guess it could happen one day.

 

[Kick It 2 Me]

22 years ain't a drought mate.

It is for the Blues.

P.S. Was more a dig at Carlton than for thread worthy content. I'm a Collingwood supporter, it goes with the territory.

 

[100action]

i felt a certain way when we won the flag

 

[qarocks]

I feel like the dees are building a list that should have the talent and depth to win a premiership in the next 5 years, but the mental side is so far from premiership material I fear I’ll never see it.

I’d cry from happiness for a week if we did.

 

[port_adelaide_1870]

What about crows? 20 years and counting

 

[clivenator26]

Drought? We've never even had a drop, or a sip. But we're years away.

Melb or Stk I can see it happening next year or obviously GWS opening their account.

 

[Demon13304]

Honestly just want to make finals at the moment.

I just turned 18 (acc says I'm 23), have followed Melbourne my whole life but the first games i remember watching are from 2008 and I genuinely don't have a conscious memory of being in the finals

One day that premiership will come, and I'll be the happiest person in the world. One day

Side-splitting stuff.

 

[_Mike_]

IMO I think Melbourne are closer than St.Kilda but over the last two seasons we've seen that anything is possible

 

[Power Raid]

the dees will be the next to break the drought

 

[Cmarsh]

I can see it now- -

2016 PF GWS v WB. WB premier
2017 PF GWS v Richmond. Richmond premier
2018 PF GWS v Melbourne. Melbourne premier
2019 PF GWS v St. Kilda. St. Kilda premier.

 

[Substance]

I consider it a drought if you go 1.5x the number of teams in the AFL.

So 27 years is a drought based on my subjective multiplier

 

[SilentHunter_]

Whoever ****ing breaks it I just hope it isn't against us in a GF. **** going through that shit again.

 

[Blueboys11]

Lol. In an 18 team comp it is only just over par

 

[qarocks]

Honestly just want to make finals at the moment.

I just turned 18 (acc says I'm 23), have followed Melbourne my whole life but the first games i remember watching are from 2008 and I genuinely don't have a living memory of being in the finals

One day that premiership will come, and I'll be the happiest person in the world. One day

I remember the 2000 GF being 15 at the time. I remember randomly wearing this zip up hoodie throughout the year, and every time I wore it the dees won. Busted it out for GF day, and I tried every zipper position to no avail
