Yes, an odd thread choice given our current season, but it's riding out the bad times that makes these good times so much better. Luckily as a club we've been quite successful and never had an extended bad run ala Carlton, Brisbane, GC etc.
My lowest point as a supporter would've been 2008. No more Judd, no more Cousins. We won our first game but it all went to s**t after that. Lost about 7 in a row by huge margins, including a spanking by a Judd led Carlton at home. I was 13 and I'd only ever seen the Eagles as at the very least, a finals team (too young to remember the Judge era). 2008 was hard to take for me.
2010, our first spoon, wasn't as bad a year as 2008 IMO. We were more competitive, had a lot of injuries and were pumping games into some kids. 2008 was just a s**t stain of a year from all involved. So many floggings.
