Dees are a joke.
Absolutely we were a basket case...and I think we all recognised that. We weren't running around telling everyone that Andrew Strijk was secretly BOG and that all was well.Sure, just like West Coast from 2007-2010 was an illusion. You're so right. That never happened either, of course
It was only Melbourne supporters generating the hype,

Your nose is growing.
Are you ****n serious?Was having a convo with mates about teams who never met their expectations, does anyone remember the hype the Demons were getting in late 2009/through 2010 in the media and their wn supporters? Many were saying how they were the "New Geelong" and the next super team in the making on the way up, bound for a premiership by 2013. Heaps of demon supporters were signing up on bigfooty at an astounding rate. Now, 2 years later if not for GC and GWS they would be on the bottom of the ladder.
I just thought it was an interesting topic, when expectations can backfire so badly.
Other teams have included:
Hawthorn: After a stellar 2001 in which they pushed Essendon to a kick, many thought the Hawks would take a step further in 2002. Hawthorn ended up underperforming in 02/03, bottoming out from 04-05, which eventually bore frut in 2008.
Fremantle time an time again have been unable to take the next step despite having a very talented list.
Thoughts? Any other examples where teams were expected to be super not only to go backwards but fall to the bottom?
You can't even see or admit to, that Melbourne have been a laughable basketcase since 06.

Fans of clubs who were "laughable basketcases", as you put it, either prior to or since that time, engaging in hyperbolic language on the main board about another club who happen to be struggling over this period, deserve to be exposed on the basis of such hypocrisy.
Watts is not as bad as some people like to make out, but for god's sake, he's not the gun you are making him out to be either.How stupid the ABC, SEN, Triple M and the AFL website were for disagreeing with you on that point. They should've just gone and asked you first, so they could make sure they got it right
An observation is an observation, it doesn't matter which team the supporter who brings up the subject goes for. In fact since you've been in the bottom 4 "rebuilding" for so long accumulating draft picks as a result of tanking with still nothing to show for it for over 6 years, then others have every right to jump on Melbourne because you'd be hard pressed to find someone with a worse record within the time period..Can't I?
Well, I guess you'd know

Aside from the fact this isn't the Bay, in case anyone didn't realise.

*at you for using that opps icon.
O'really?
I think Tuck is more important to Richmond than people realise though..... You guys seriously need to find a back up for Ivan as well.
