Opinion Non-Crows AFL 5: Save Ken

[kirky]

I'm going to this weeks game at Docklands.
I'm really HOPING to see a "live" win.
I can't actually remember the last time that happened.

I'll be there too

The last win I saw in Melbourne was the 1998 premiership

I was at the 2017 draw against Collingwood, but that's the closest thing to a win in 25 years

You both need to undertake an exorcism before you board the plane.

I’ll be there as I was against Essendon and Geelong this year.

Did see them beat North Melbourne last year @ Marvel.

Probably see 50% of their wins in Melbourne.

 

[MarcusP2]

Definitely not I think. We win a couple and we’re competitive and had green shoots of improvement in players

They have 11 losses in a row by 8 goals or more, the previous record was 8 (by GWS in 2012 I think).

To be honest, I haven't been to too many away games since the 1998 GF though

2000 VS Essendon at Marvel Loss (from memory it was the game where McLeod got reported)
2016 VS Bulldogs at Marvel
2017 VS Collingwood at MCG (draw)
2017 VS Richmond GF

2022 VS Hawthorn

After I started going to away games again in 2016 I was planning to go more often, but apathy hit after the 2017 GF and then COVID so it's now been 5 years.

I miss our 2017 season, it was such an awesome ride till after HT of the GF.

We had so many highlights from that year.

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but i dont see it happening again for a long time.

Was the Doggies game that infamous free kick one, where the umpires literally ******* us that day?

 

[GROTTO]

Geez North are losing by an average of 10 goals each week, with no obvious improvement in sight

Surely a coach can’t survive that

They gutted their list and traded out a lot of decent players that would have made them competitive at least.

They reap what they sow.

Only one unpire. Troy Pannell, and he had a history of riding the Dogs.

Was that game that relapse went to in 2016?

I know there was an extraordinary game where we got screwed for free kicks. I know it was night game at Marvel v Dogs, just dont remember if it was 2016.

Yep that was the game I was at.

I never normally complain too much about umpires, but the umpiring in that game genuinely felt like it was 18 VS 21 on the field.

From memory there was a reference to phonegate on the banner and the Bulldogs fans were completely feral towards us (more than likely because of 97/98, the Talia brothers and the 2015 elimination final).

Fun Facts with Grotto

Ken Hinkley has shorted in price on Sportsbet to be the next coach of GWS in 2023, from $21 after the Power's Freo game into $13 this afternoon.

Love the comments from Evans and how he compared it to dropping a good player after a bad game. Makes me wonder what the equivalent type of game from a player would be.

That draw v Pies is one of my most memorable games. I was buzzing afterwards.

Clutch mark and goal by Gov.

I thought we had won till I realized I was the only one up celebrating.
I had been distracted by my young son and thought we were 5 pts down.

If GWS take Ken, confirms the AFL just see GWS as a farm for Victorian talent.


GWS draft em, a couple of years to develop. Them go back home.

With no expectation to win a flag.

I thought we had won till I realized I was the only one up celebrating.
I had been distracted by my young son and thought we were level before the kick.

The speed in which Gov took the kick for goal suggested we were trying to win it, by scoring again.

 

[relapse]

That draw v Pies is one of my most memorable games. I was buzzing afterwards.

Given we were down by around 40 points at one stage, it did feel a lot like a win.

And the farm sells it stock for deadset cheap prices, unless if youre a South Aussie or WA team.

Look at all the talent that has gone from GWS/Suns back to Victoria and the price they paid, yet the moment we have an opportunity, its like multiple 1st rounders are the request.

Clutch mark and goal by Gov.

Was there with a Collingwood mate at the ground - he was calling it in the third quarter when the Pies were 40+ points up that they, Pies, would find a way to lose.

It felt like a win tbh.

Wasn’t it 51?
