A dose of reality

Post: # 1787444Post ss1986 »

That’s what this is....

So many people so comfortable with some overrated wins.

This is the same side that scraped past the GC in Rd1 and saved the tearing down of Moorabbin by a point.

First real test - FAIL

I think the next 3 weeks are going to be a big reality check for some...

Probably true


But heaps better than last year and hardly the bottom 4 side most (including me) predicted

We’ll win a couple in the next month

Great supporter here and there. Not. Couldn't wait to hit the good old keyboard.


Posters that have admitted they were wrong about Hanna's gastro and the club didn't create a cover story.

Alright for you to spam us when we win. If it wasnt for supporters who call out the sh*t, the club would bumble along in its usual fashion.

I’ll be keeping on calling it out until we win a flag. Only then will I be satisfied.

Yep. You made and make all the difference. 🙄

They had a bad game. Get up for next week Saints. Move on.

s*** happens, just enjoy the start to the season thus far. Think most of us thought we’d have only won 1 game by round 6.

You all make me laugh.

Especially the “you’re not a true supporter” jibe that is as old as time. Hilarious. And boring.

I don’t buy the bullshi*e the club sells and I’m proud of it. Ive been right not to buy into it for a good 9 years now. And counting. Would have been right for arguably 121 out of 122 seasons to be honest.

We got done by a better opponent, not sure why we need a 'dose of reality'....are we expected to take out a premiership this season? If so, I must have missed it. Possibly the OP just got the dose of reality.

Like the Club listens to supporters to determine how they go about things. Wow what an exercise in leadership that'd be.

Reality check yeah but if you said we would be 4 & 2 at this stage at the start of the season I would have said "your dreamin" It is what it is even though we could be 4 & 4 in a heart beat but there is more possitives that negative so far IMO

I’m not sure who the Crows had out but we’re missing:
Carlisle
Hannebery
King
Lonie for three quarters
Geary
Roberton
Marshall
Bytel
Austin
McCartin
Clavarino
Pierce

Obviously not all best 22 but definitely Carlisle, Hannebery, Geary, Roberton and Marshall.

I think it all caught up with us today.

YAWN. We’ll finish somewhere between 12th and 16th again and call it a year of improvement.

Worst possible outcome. But that’s ok... so long as everyone takes home a comfy pay packet and sleeps well at night.

How’s Dan’s rebuild going by the way?

I really don't expect us to win any of the next 3. Doesn't mean we are not on the right track though dud boy.
