Analysis Are we the only team without a bogey side now?

[Shogun]

With our snap of the Geelong win streak against us, are we the only side in the comp without a bogey side?

I'm pretty sure we recent wins over everyone but I could be wrong.

We haven't beaten Adelaide for a while

 

[AlorraVex]

Losing streak against the Dogs is 4 (last win 2013), against Adelaide it is 3 (last win 2014), and Sydney 2 (last win 2016). Other than that we won our last game against every other team.

Adelaide have spanked us for a couple of years.

One win doesnt over come a bogey side either... *, l still get the nervous shits when we play the gold coast.

Crows. I wish we'd played them twice this year during the home & away season just to see if that spanking really was an anomaly like the St Kilda loss.

No what a stupid thing to say. Beating a team once doesn't end a bogey

Brisbane have beaten us once since 2004.

Why don't you post on our board more often? I love reading your stuff but don't have much fondness for trawling through the main board.

why not

If we lost to Geelong in the GF then they'd continue to be our bogey side.

 

[theyellowsash]

why not

a bogey side is one that you consistently cannot beat over a period of time. beating them once does not erase the recent history of failure, they have still beaten us 14 of the last 15 times or something like that. if a team beat us once you wouldnt say they have the wood over us. we need to beat them another 1-2 times in the next 3 meetings to say it has changed.

 

[Rimmer]

Not sure winning our first game in 12 years against Geelong qualifies as 'breaking the hoodoo' anymore than winning against North this year levels the ledger (I don't include the Richmond v Werribee pre finals win against 'North').

Which clubs if any have we actually beaten more than they have beaten us since the introduction of the AFL? I suspect the result would be quite ugly.

We have a rich history with the VFL but have been statistically the worst side in the AFL.

I think it's a mental thing...Sure, one win can break it, but then again, sometimes it wont.

It's a 'cause/effect' issue though, as you don't see the effects for a couple more games, and by then, you can't tell if it took 2 or 3 wins to break the hoodoo, or if it only needed one, and the rest are the result of the hoodoo being broken. Either way, you cant really say it's gone until you start beating them fairly regularly.

A GF win over them wouldn't hurt

They can have a hoodoo on us for the next 10 years for all I care if we beat them in the gf. Didn't seem to hurt hawthorn
