The STREAK

[Brighton_Diggins]

The pressure is mounting.
Longest losing streak in the clubs history on the horizon.
The media will shake this one to death if it happens.

 

[[ToTTi]]

Meh... As far as I'm concerned we are 0-2.

 

[Beloved]

Meh... As far as I'm concerned we are 0-2.

Exactly, stupid records and such mean nothing to me.

Will reclaiming the streak mean we have truly bottomed out? Just interested if things could get any worse. Keep thinking we can't get any worse and along comes a new milestone to prove me wrong and crush my spirit.

 

[Bluebear]

Funny how the one record we hold barely gets a mention these days.

Does the streak count if we were tanking?

 

[Blue Dawn]

Totally appropriate that we cop such a 'record' to coincide with the worst period in the 144 year history of our great club. Btw, i think we'll beat Ess anyway.

 

[BlueBelle]

I can't wait for us to start breaking the records that count

The only way is up

When?

[BlueBelle]

When?

Hopefully sooner rather than later.

I came into this thread thinking that someone was announcing that they were going to run across the MCG naked during the game.

What a let down...

Why don't you put your hand up?

It's not a "stupid" record, in fact it is quite a significant one. We should be doing everything we can do avoid such a humiliating record that makes history. It is something we shouldn't just simply brush aside and not care about - where the hell is our pride if we do?

Lance will if we lose.

FFS guys, win.......win at all costs.

Wasn't that the name of a DVD. A yes this one

I wonder if we will release a DVD to mark the occassion.

Low lights of the 14 games.

Thrawn... I love your attitude. Its the attitude all Blues fans once had. How sad that these years of enduring big losses seems to have eroded some of the Navy Blue pride.

Your contrasting attitude envokes in me the words of Dylan Thomas

Do not go gentle into that good night.
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

But we were tanking!

 

[The Cranium]

Whilst I concur with Thrawn's view...

I came to this thread expecting pics or You Tube of Bexta and BlueGal doing the streak.....

Disappointed

Under MilkWood ?

 

[Monkey King]

Under MilkWood ?

I don't believe so, but can't say that I know TBH. I've never actually heard or seen Under Milk Wood.

I only know the origin is said to be the death bed of Thomas' father.

 

[Korn]

winning the wooden spoon was already bad enough, this is nothing.

I certainly hope the players don't think the streak means "nothing" to them.

 

[Thrawn]

That's where you're wrong.

In fact, it may be more significant than a single wooden spoon because we've won three of them already. Except in 2002, where we won our first... but this will potentially be our longest losing streak in our history, something that hasn't been touched in over a hundred years. How is that "nothing" to you?

When I see that we may break the losing streak in our history, I feel sick in the stomach. Nothingness cannot do that.

 

[Monkey King]

I certainly hope the players don't think the streak means "nothing" to them.

I hope this too, but have little doubt that a few of on our list have developed a numb spot on their competitive streak.
