Best win: the game against Richmond. Tigers fans keep telling us that if we'd played them in the GF, they would have flogged us. But in the only game that mattered between the two sides this season, it was them that copped the flogging.
Worst loss: Round 1 -- WC vs Buddy Franklin. Ugh.
I don't think it's Vic media bias. I mean, in last year's after-the-siren win against Port,they bloody went to that stupid shot of Hinkley leaving the dressing room. That's just home town bias at best or incompetence at worst. Or vice versa. Take your pick.
lolz at the Richmond fans. It's very easy to claim big support numbers after you've recently won a premiership. The true test of the greatness of a club is how well they're supported when they've been in relative obscurity for a while. On that basis it's clear that it's a complete myth that...
I was a member of the Subiaco Football Club back in the 80s. Half of our '86 premiership squad was picked for the inaugural '87 West Coast squad. So it was a natural shift. My sister is similar. She's South Fremantle. So she barracks for Freo.
I don't own a WCE guernsey, but I do own an original 1987 scarf, which I still wear. Would I burn it for a million? Well, since this is a hypothetical question, I would hypothetically answer that no, I can't place a monetary value on all the memories I've had with that scarf since day one. In...
Back in '88, when John Todd took the reins, one of the first things he said was that our home crowd had to become less hospitable to visiting teams. Back then -- and I realise I'm going back 31 years, so my memory may be a bit off -- but we were just so chuffed at being allowed to be in the VFL...
-ve: The reaction in the coaches box after the PF victory. They were carrying on like they'd won the premiership. Conversely, Clarko cracked a smile, but that was it.
+ve: I stated here a few weeks ago that my wife of 25 years died in June. Since the funeral. the only times I've had any...
If I counted it correctly, there have been as many clubs who have lost grand finals as have won them. So? What? Should the losers just give up? Look. I know how you feel. I watched the 91 GF in a house full of Hawks supporters. Very upsetting. And do you know how good we were in 91? And today I...
See, now I know that you're a troll. You've seen the title of this thread, right? What is it about the performances in the 24 games prior to today that doesn't deserve respect?
Seriously? Wow. I've been on this wagon since before you were born and I'll proudly wear my original 1987 scarf up the street tomorrow, here in the heart of rural Victoria. Learn to take the loss. Or go join that other mob down the road.
