Us : Oh poor us
Players: Oh poor us
Us: Since 66 no success
Players: Lost two drew one grand final, had a girl bring us down, a new team mate have us making statements to the rozzers, a player burst our bubble with laptop photos, some broke curfew and experimenting with legal drugs,rest of the comp using our tactics against us and we are gonna have to testify in june.
Us: Oh well thats all right then, we are used to the pain and will blindly follow the red white and black to the grave because we are not payed and have no salary cap, we don't change clubs at the drop of a hat. That we have suffered so long should make the final victory all that much sweeter for that but please oh God make it soon.
Well do we persist with what we have or get as many games into the kids for another tilt down the track?
Personally when available Lynch Ledger Archer Walsh Stanley Heyne must be given games.
Have those 2 gf losses left you traumatised?

Agree, but the difference is that I had few expectations back then - i was comfortable with St Kilda being the lovable idiot/everyone's second team.satchmo wrote: All of us that survived the '80s know that we are much tougher than that.
Traumatized? No.
Unnecessarily reflective and filled with "What ifs"? Yep.
Something died in my passion at the final siren of the drawn GF, not the replay, I knew in my heart of hearts that we were done.
I couldn't go to the first match against geelong as I was sick (but probably wouldn't have gone anyway), went to the tigers match and told some friends i wouldn't be back.
I watched today on TV and didn't even feel dissapointed. I have just lost the passion, this decade is spent. All the promise has gone.
No flag and no likelihood of one.
2009 was crushing. 2010 draw was numbing considering for a glimpse of a moment I dared to think we could win.
Its over.
Maybe I will get back to the footy later this year but I am loking to do other things.

There comes a point in every man's life when he has to say, "Enough is enough." For me, that time is now. I have been dealing with claims that I cheated and had an unfair advantage in <redacted>. Over the past three years, I have been subjected to a <redacted>investigation followed by <redacted> witch hunt. The toll this has taken on my family, and my work for <redacted>and on me leads me to where I am today – finished with this nonsense. (Oops just got a spontaneous errection <unredacted>)

Come on Joffa we have been here before and then a new bloke comes along and he looks all right and then he gets a few mates and they begin to look like a team and then someone special gets in the mix and we begin to believe again. 'HOPE' it's all we've got but then it's all we've ever had. 'Belief' well thats a rare quality that does'nt come easy and the boys have to show something for us to believe in.
Are you gonna be the one?

But rather the steadily growing all-consuming realisation of just how massive those two GF "losses" were.
