Things can turn around reasonably quickly.

Brisbane was the wooden spooner in '98 and three years later was winning flags.

Collingwood was the wooden spooner in '99 and three years later was contesting GFs.

St Kilda was the wooden spooner in 2000 and four years later came within a whisker of a GF.

But there needs to be acknowledgment of failure, some bloodletting, and a change of direction.

Well, if you stay away from our next GF, we might win it, if we ever make one again!!!!! :wink:
I am thinking I will be staying away from our next grand final.
But not out of choice.
I don't think I can live for another 50 years.

A guy I worked with was a mad Sth Melbourne/ Swans supporter, healthy guy and wanted to see a Swans premiership. It happened in 2005 and he was so happy and humble. One year later he was gone from sudden unexpected health complications. Maybe the Saints should keep losing, as the hope of winning a flag may be extending our lives more than we think?

There might be something in that. And if you you look at BF, you can see that if your team wins the flag, you instantly turn into an unbearable twat.

Worst thing for me right now is that I can't completely enjoy Carlton :x and that's just not fair :)
