Agree 100%.

Never liked the bounding roo jumper at all. It isn't traditional and in fact a bad reminder of the cartoon character inspired jumpers which were briefly in vogue in the 90's/00's.
Like that abomination the dog team wore the other night?


I don't mind the bounding roo but I seriously don't like the cartoon roo or any other roo type characters.
 
We are within a few points with only 1.5 quarters remaining to the 4th flag favourites. We come off a 5 day break from interstate.

Lose our best midfield 1 quarter in.
Larkey on one leg 15mins in.
X misses the last quarter.
No Parker, Comben, Lmac, Wardlaw, Darling and Archer.

10 players played less than 32 games(Colby has played 32 games, the most of that 10).

Over 3 years and 60 games less experienced than WBD.

And half of y'all want us to be in the game until the final siren???

Yep.
 
Mate. The dogs has literally over 60 games and 3 years more experience than us.

I advise you to lower your expectations. Otherwise, you'll be very angry and sad.

I’ve been lowering my expectations since 2002. We went from conquer-alls to “naw, look at the little battlers go”.

I’ll give you the strong tip- premierships aren’t won by applauding 2.5 quarter efforts against fellow minnow clubs.
 
Carlton loses to Collingwood by 50-odd: disaster, coach is under fire, massive changes needed

We lose to the Dogs by roughly the same margin: “really good two quarters, they’ll be good one day, it’ll click”

Bullshit to that.

Are we a real footy club?

Most people here are so accustomed to losing, the slightest green shoot is spoken about like it’s the Amazon jungle

Right? I grew up in the 90’s. We would’ve won games with broken ribs and no bench.

Now the only thing as long and excruciating as our flag drought is our list of excuses.

Yeah fair enough ...no other team we have played has had any injuries, none have ever lost players during a game and none have had as many young players like us.

I get it - we have been hard done by in every loss we have had and don't deserve this great injustice as our drafting, recruitment and development has all been first class.

At some point the constant excuse hunting by our supporter base jumps the shark and we are probably at that point now.

Incredible effort considering so many of our stars were missing.

Well put.

We were hard done by in the most recent loss. A couple on here blame the umps for every loss, and that's horseshit. With about 5% more quality in our play we probably knock off Essendon and Freo. Maybe Port too, just cos they dominated that one and we still got close.

Onus is with us in all non dogs games. And we repeatedly fail
 
Right? I grew up in the 90’s. We would’ve won games with broken ribs and no bench.

Now the only thing as long and excruciating as our flag drought is our list of excuses.

We did have Carey, McKernan, Schwass, Archer, Stevens, King, Bell, et al playing in those years …

There’s the problem right there

You didn’t grow up in the 80’s
 
Larkey getting injured absolutely cost us. Along with LDU and Xerri. That's three of our best players on the night (at various stages) either injured or out of the game.

Then, Dawson had to go off in the last quarter too. The Dogs got extremely lucky that two key position players were either injured or not 100%.

Before the injury, Lobb and that other bloke were on the ropes. Could not control the main man.
