Many people here claim that they go for Geelong.
Could have fooled me.
What I often read is a bunch of whiny, ungrateful, spoiled rotten supporters.
Do you know how long we have gone without a flag so far- six years. SIX YEARS! I would hate to see how many of you would bitch and complain when we went 44 years without a flag.
Granted, we want to win one every year. Who doesn't. But it isn't realistic.
You are spoiled rotten because you expected the flags to come forever, and when they didn't, you blamed all and sundry, instead of realising that premiership windows last so long. Instead of being happy that we have won more flags in the last decade than most teams have won in the last two decades, we bitch and moan, just because Hawthorn have won more.
You are ungrateful, because we still make finals every year. We still compete, despite all the odds against us. We are bringing through youngsters, and yet still make top two most seasons.
You are ungrateful because, instead of recognizing Chris Scott as a premiership coach, and commending his coaching that day, by putting Bartel up forward, you dismiss as "Bomber's flag", when he wasn't even there, all because many of you decided that you didn't want Chris Scott as coach from day one, and weren't prepared to give him a chance, because he wasn't Mark Thompson, as if Scott somehow "stole" the job off Bomber.
You blame Scott for our finals failures, but don't credit him for finals wins. When we lose, it is his fault, not the players who didn't tackle or work hard enough. But when we win, it is 100% the players, and Scott must have sat on his hands and done nothing.
Some of you come across as a entitled bunch of w***ers who have massively unrealistic expectations, and when reality sets in and they aren't met, then you blame others than reassess your expectations. Or you go the other way, and doom the club to years in the wilderness under the current regime, despite the fact that, since they have been there, we have missed ONE finals series.
Why not be more positive and enjoy Dangerfield's heroics, Selwood inspiring the team, or the fact that the little master is back? Instead you bitch about the club retiring players who wouldn't be playing this year anyway (meaning that they were almost done, no matter which club they popped up at).
Things could be better, but they aren't too bad. So let's enjoy the highlights, and have hope for the ultimate. Or if you can't do that, maybe it is time you found something else you enjoy to do.
