Fourteen, fifteen, sixteen, whatever it is is, losses in a row, and this one probably is the most dispiriting of them all. The third worst team in the league is our opponent, and we are getting smashed yet again. It hasn't helped that we've had about 6 different coaches in the last 3-4 years, but neither is the fact that two of our best three players are 18 year olds in their first seasons. We need to delist as many as we can at the end of the season and start again. I've never been this depressed about this footy team and I have been following them since 1976.

We lose to West Coast in a couple of weeks and thats rock bottom.

We are right there. Hovering above rock bottom. Just.
We’ve gone past rock bottom, we’re heading towards the core of the earth..
 
We're comfortably in the 4 worst sides over a sustained number of years that I've seen.

To think it was 16 vs 17 - we haven’t won a game in 15 weeks. And after all the stuff that happened with Clarko which hawks instigated we should’ve came out breathing fire. That should have been our grand final. And we got smacked. It should have been over at 1/4 time. If the players won’t put in, why should the supporters???? Sad.
 
Mate just texted me said his 8yo daughter cracked after today, declared her desire to switch to Pies.

We're gonna lose a generation of supporters from this era.
My boy (7) said to me at the game today - dad you’re lucky -> you got see North when they were good, but maybe it’s time we switch teams. Maybe the pies.

It’s so ****ing sad.

Our 2018 & 2019 finishes were better than anything Carton (2002-2007/2014-2019) & Melbourne (2007-2014) did, but IMO our 2020, 2021, 2022 & 2023 is easily the worst stretch of the lot. Our 2017 was also bad but it felt closer to our 2001 or 2006 seasons. 2020-2023 is record setting disgraceful.

Young family in front of me a - a dad with three girls - bailed just before 3/4 time. The girls spent the majority of the game on their phones. I don't blame them and it saddens me

2019 was awful save for some great wins over Richmond/Collingwood. We had gone from a 2-7 start, sacked Brad, to 7-8 and contention for finals but shit the bed.

2018 was the best of the last 7 years, we were 7-4 and the best defensive team in the comp averaging just 60-65 point against. Maj and Robbie were killing it in the backline. Think Carey even touted us as Flag contenders. Then we just fell away.
