[_Mike_]

Opposition supporters coming to troll , you have been warned

 

[The Inbetweener]

Essendon haven’t for 2 decades and have done a hell of a lot in trade period in that time

Just pointing out the difference between us and the Cats/Hawks. We’ve underachieved since 2021.

 

[Doggy]

It is but when you’ve got 2 academy guns in the top 6, who cares hey.
They’ll prob get points back the other way. Thank god it’s changing next year.

Just in time to screw us

This thread does not make me happy.

Someone say something exciting

I’m currently in Copenhagen and the women here are next level beautiful. Like, 90%+ of them.

Not sure how this info will help you though.

 

[lachy]

We haven’t won a final in 4 seasons.

Hawthorn have not played in a Grand Final for 10 years

Hawks have had a decent last 2 years that’s it the 2 years prior nothing

To be honest, if you don't win a flag you haven't achieved dick

That's awful for us unless Port are in there

A prelim is an achievement and winning one is too but for me 2021 was a failure and 2016 is the only year we achieved

Us

On that logic the 2021 prelim was an achievement...

They have a history of winning flags consistently. We don’t. They are on the right track and we keep finishing 8th or 9th.

 

[Snarls Barkley]

They won four flags had a full rebuild and passed us again

The last 2 years they finished 7th and 8th

It was but the season was still a failure

Achievements are in the eye of the beholder, no point arguing.

For some making prelim weekend is an Achievement. For others making the Grand Final is an achievement. For Players and coaches winning the premiership is always the only achievement

Geelong this year achieved more then 16 other clubs but they still get nothing for it

 

[The Inbetweener]

You know that’s not true. They made a prelim so finished 4th. Unless you consider us having finished 7th in 2016?

There are no Anniversary catch ups for runners up

Didn't even make the Grand Final, let alone achieve anything

The club and Sanders probably.

So there's that not insignificant wrinkle in your scenario.

I repeat. We haven’t even won a final in 4 years with the list we have had. If you don’t think that’s underachieving then I’d like to understand your definition.

 

[lachy]

They won four flags had a full rebuild and passed us again

And as Foxman pointed out have won as many premierships as us in the last decade, technically 1 less

Already posted it in the eye of the beholder, but ask any player or coach at any level, true achievement is winning the premiership.

Never understand why they don’t use Richmond or now Brisbane for the dominant teams of recent time
