Re: Our Percentage
Bump.
Our percentage is still only 61. Can we beat 65? If we don't, we will be left with our poorest percentage for 59 years!!!
This would be a massive kick in the guts for us as a club - reeks of uncompetitiveness.

Re: Our Percentage
What was our percentage from 1983 to 1986 when we were massive rubbish also? What about 2000 to 2002??samuraisaint wrote:Bump.

Re: Our Percentage
1983 - 78.6
1984 - 75.5
1985 - 64.7
1986 - 71.9
2000 - 70.5
2001 - 72.6
2002 - 78.6
and 1979 was another atrocious season, when we lost a match by a record margin 178 points and suffered losses by 100 points against Carlton and Footscray as well, and still managed a % of 65%.
I think if our percentage is lower than those shocking eras it is evidence that we are starting on a very loooong road back.

Re: Our Percentage
So the club saying we will win a flag by 2020 is fanciful isn't it, especially given there are now 18 teams not 16 or 12 like in those eras!samuraisaint wrote:1983 - 78.6

Im struggling to get your point. Its probably fanciful considering we have won one in 140 years but I dont get why the percentage now means we cant win one in 6 years.

Re: Our Percentage
We were a top four side five seasons after the first period above, and just two seasons after the second period.saintspremiers wrote:So the club saying we will win a flag by 2020 is fanciful isn't it, especially given there are now 18 teams not 16 or 12 like in those eras!samuraisaint wrote:1983 - 78.6

Re: Our Percentage
So in the space of 6 years, we have gone from a club record percentage of 155.71% in 2009 to some other record low of 61.3% in 2014.
That's not a bad effort.
