Coach Craig McRae

[NMBB]

I can only think of 1989.

I should have remembered - I was there!
Mark Yeats & Brereton. Ablett etc

 

[ipswichpies]

Which GFs did Geelong lose in the 80s?

89 was the only GF they played in the 80,s,think they lost 92,94 and 95 also,don,t quote me though.

Tks - poster earlier thought they lost "a few in the 80s" - think was only 1989

Hope they add 2022 to that list

That they did.
I was there for all of them and barracking for them, (more-so against Eagles and Carlton).
PS: Sorry to quote, when asked not to

89 . Meant early nineties. Point stands

 

[domus]

Domie, what if you are cursing Collingwood?

There is 100% correlation with your support and us winning 2 out of 15 GFs

I know. My dear dad thought that may be the case!

I can't take you seriously if you are suggesting we have had just as much luck go our way in finals.

But take luck out of the discussion. From the viewpoint of sheer shattering disappointment in leading five grand finals by four or five goals and losing all of them, that record is unmatched. Geelong lost a few in the 80s but they never looked like it in the Eagles games or the blues in 95.

I'm happy for others to not feel the angst I do but don't try to tell me the ledger is evenly balanced when it comes to luck in finals.

The Hawks won three prelims by less than a kick during their dominant run. We have lost three by less than a kick since 2007 .

15 grand finals for two wins in my lifetime. Seriously.

Unfortunately have to agree.

By whatever design, we are the most unsuccessful Club in the league with 44 GF appearances (VFL/AFL). Winning 15 and losing 27 (drawing 2).

 

[Chrispiesssss]

Was Fly at the Hawks during this messed up situation?

 

[Jonno94]

Was Fly at the Hawks during this messed up situation?

No, this happened when Fagan was football manager.

 

[NMBB]

No, this happened when Fagan was football manager.

Wright was List Manager?

 

[sr36]

Wright was List Manager?

Yes and Bolton an assistant coach. We'll be shitting ourselves.

 

[gouki88]

Was Fly at the Hawks during this messed up situation?

He was only there in 2021, so not the period of concern.

Wright and Bolton, however, were there. As were other current senior figures (Ratten, Fagan) and a prospective senior figure (Yze).

Brett Ratten there too?

 

[gouki88]

Brett Ratten there too?

Yep, he was an assistant coach there 2012-2018

 

[Pie eyed]

Extremely happy McRae was not at the Hawks during the timeframe being reviewed currently.

It's quite shocking isn't it? No other club comes close. I feel disdain when supporters from other clubs Mian about thier hard luck and heartache

 

[Chrispiesssss]

Feels wrong that Fly is celebrating the Lions three peat!

 

[Anzacday]

I spotted the difference.
Fly hasn’t put on any weight.
The other two

Is there likely to be a link to Flys speech last night at the Copeland? Love to see it, sounds like it was awesome.

Just watched his speech. Gees this club is in good hands for the next 10 years. Just hope the board doesn’t shoot us in the foot.
