Hurts seeing ur team lose every week though?jonesy wrote:Winning the wooden spoon doesn't hurt at all...infact it's the second best thing next to winning the premiership. All that hope and excitement going into the draft.
2009/10....there is nothing to take out of those three days...nothing but a lifetime of pain

Wooden spoon years are like footy mogodon. Never fully engaged hoping that some excitement will break through the sameness.
4 years hoping Cayden Beetham really is the next Tim Watson.
I wonder f Melbourne think tanking for Scully was worth it?
I'd rather ride the lightning than sit at home watching the walls.

There can be no question it's better to have made the big dance and fallen short than finishing last. No doubt whatsoever. Have some pride. Making the GF means you've been winning all year and beaten up on 14 (16) other clubs. I's rather beat up on fourteen other clubs than be beaten up by everyone.
As to whether it "hurts" more, well, yes, losing a GF is a traumatic experience, but the club gets stronger in every GF it makes, and the immediate, suffocating pain and anger of a GF loss is a much better pain than the dull, monotonous, all encompassing pain of being a perennial loser, which contains no anger, only acceptance.
There is no excitement in drafting players, there is only excitement in WINNING. The only indirect link between drafting players and excitement is tthat those players drafted might lead to more WINNING. I honestly cannot possibly fathom how someone would rather finish last and experience LOSING all year rather than experience WINNING all year bar the big one. The club is not about the players, as much as we love them, they are expendable, what is important is the red, black & white colours the players wear, and that the players wearing those coloursa WIN, WIN, and WIN at every oppurtunity, even if it means that losing hurts more when you've been winning lots.

Years of being laughed at and/or pitied by everyone hurt far more than losing GF 2009.
