Not amongst your finest work here Pups.
Disagree

Your clubs mentality has gone all small club tinpot

Look at what you've been reduced to compared to what you once were 15-20 years ago

Back then you'd be happy to get the win then move on, these games are now the highlight of your season judging by the way your players have regularly carried on over the last 5 or so years

4th vs 5th should more of a blockbuster fixture compared to 1st vs 14th like 15 years ago, especially with a CL spot on the line in the long run.
Leave him alone, this is his way of coping with spurs getting smashed by the gunners again

Carlton and St Kilda are the most tinpot AFL clubs easily

A case could be mounted for Essendon also, mainly based off their drugs saga/horrendous finals record over the last 10-15 years.

Richmond were for years but have got their s**t together.

Smaller clubs like the Dogs and North have more GnD and HnS than many other clubs, doesn't matter what challenge you put in front of them on or off the field, they'll adapt and move on with life.

Just as long as you have clubs like Essendon and Collingwood around to pay your bills.

Nice melt

We sell home games and find other means of revenue to make profit these days, same as North considering we have the worst stadium deals in the comp.

Essendon would be screwed without their pokies :$

I see we posted our 4th straight profit and increased our assets to $45.8 million which is close to the highest in the league. Gordo setting us up for life.

Worst 2 decades of our clubs history and yet not that far off those who've had their best. That's equalisation at it's finest
Lucky you have/had a sugar daddy or you'd have been screwed. Would be interesting to see where you guys would be with Dick Pratts millions.

We've played in 2 less finals series than your tin rattling mob since then but yeah sure lol
We finished top 4 3 times and won the flag another time

Finals series mean jackshit if you don't contend, your only decent season was 2011 where you got to a SF and lost by a kick (2013 is a *)

Arsenal have embarrassed themselves over the last couple of days. They’ve acted worse than West Ham do when they beat us. All it does it expose where they are now at as a club

The same comp that with Carl, Coll and Ess as the “successful” clubs was cash strapped and needed nationalising.

BS you’ve carried the comp, all 8 foundation clubs carried, built and grew the game. Those interstate plebs were just one big meal ticket.
