Analysis Are we cursed?

[Football Tragic]

For over 30 years now we have never even looked like winning a flag. We have reached the finals recently for only the third time in that period but been definitively embarrassed on each of those three occasions. This year we played well early but over the past three weeks we have had situations conspire against us to narrowly lose.

How can we end this curse or should we just continue to try and control the controllable and ignore the terrible luck we have had?

 

[Ned_Flanders]

Yes we are, but you missed the two reasons

1) the cursed tiger skin that still is in our boardroom (?)

2) the evil shag carpeting from darwin that destroyed our hopes and dreams in 82


We need to get Jeniffer Love Hewitt or Sarah Michelle Geller to sort our shit out

Nice! Could be on to something with that carpet momentum killer from Darwin too!

not cursed just stupid.

Tiger skin should be burnt.
What a way to celebrate the animal we love than by having a Tiger skinned in the board room.

That's something oppo clubs would like.

I want a real Tiger sanctuary where broken hearted poached Tigers can live the rest of their life happily and meal time is the oppo cheersquad,gametime.

Then for dessert ,we can take them down for some strawberries and cream in fluro.

 

[bigpapagman]

Yes, we absolutely are. There's higher powers at play here.

 

[Ned_Flanders]

Also the sen tiger tragics podcast has cursed us

No podcast = winning

Podcast = sasha grey time

Get rid of the ****ing podcast!!

You make your own luck and we have the wrong people making the same mistakes.
Peggy xxxxing cough cough O'Neal laughs stability and this is why in over 12years on the board she's never seen a finals win.

 

[Drofder]

Not cursed. Just a poor club the last 37 years. Simple as that.

We are the Red Sox of the AFL.

We are the Red Sox of the AFL.

They are the Bulldogs.

While Helen D'Amico is breathing, we are cursed. I am 100% convinced of this.

We are the Red Sox of the AFL.

Red Sox have won three World Series since 2004 though. Even the Cubs broke through last season.

Wait do we really have a tiger skin in the boardroom?

Seen a doco on him,replace the goat with the Tiger skin.

 

[Mr Magic]

We are cursed because of Blair.

It all comes back to the Prestia, Yarran and Hampson trades

It was from a malay tiger killed back in the 50's

It used to be displayed a fair bit (https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/..._EW4hWbPk_l0qQlk4k1NEuE2Tw08dyhsDHPMBpcrJh3-g), but its pretty delicate now and its not exactly pc

Question was asked a number of years ago what we should do with it. Off rusty memory, decision was it would be disrespectful to bin it, but thats a very rusty memory

The Red Sox have won 3 World Series titles the last 12 years. Before that, they’d made the World Series another 4 times whilst going through their World Series drought. Last time I looked, Richmond couldn’t win an elimination final let alone make a GF….or…heaven forbid…win one.

Richmond are the Pittsburgh Pirates.

No wonder we are bloody cursed. Donate it to a Natural History museum.

 

[Grechy]

Nah just a spineless footy club who's been devoid of any real leadership for 38 years. Last 2 weeks are an absolute disgrace. How a poor set up happens twice with so little time remaining is beyond me. Just a bunch of dumb footballers. I give up.

 

[Spagman]

Not cursed, that shifts the blame elsewhere.

Where was our leadership group on the field in the last 2 weeks in the final minutes?

Need these guys to step up and direct the younger players around. For nobody to be on the mark in that kick in from GWS is inexcusable.

I reckon I spotted it in Roland's museum a year or two ago. Richo and Greeners can probably see it from where they record their podcast.

Worth a look in the museum if you're at PRO for the VFL, even though they've moved the premiership cups (best thing in there) into reception.

Thread needs a voting option for Helen.
