Honestly, it's not so much the margins but the fact every game has a 5-10 minute period that does it.

OK so we just have to avoid 22 point margins... if we're kicking for goal and 16 points up, make sure you miss! Of course, trying to miss a set shot would mean a definite goal, so get Young, H, Pitto and HOK to build a human pyramid on the goal line.

It hurts so much, these vicious cycles of shit, that I genuinely wonder sometimes if we should’ve just handed the keys back after the salary cap scandal.

What have we really got to show for the last 25 years?

Seeing the utter devastation of my son is just heartbreaking. To the point where we avoid talking Carlton because it is too painful. Carlton was always our thing and it’s basically dead.

Now we have to rebuild, again, without any meaningful success and with Tassie on the horizon. Pain after pain after pain.

We won’t see another flag in my lifetime.

Hang in there peeps - if you know any Richmond fans, talk to them. They were an utter basketcase for 30 years and the butt of all jokes, then they turned it around and won 3 flags in 4 years (would've won 4 in a row if Dusty wasn't playing injured in the prelim).

Nah they're @#$%&! laughing at us too.

And we don't have anyone near Dusty.

They absolutely do. But do they deserve us?

Who’s up for ANOTHER era of being the laughing stock? With no success to fall back on.

It's tough for sure, and even tougher now that the game itself is what it is.

But...Go Blues!

You could do the ladder based on our losing margins:

Sydney 63
Adelaide 28
Melbourne 23
North Melbourne 10
Collingwood 5
Richmond -4

It's not perfect.

Fremantle next week though could get ugly.

There's a plethora of Saturday games coming up so no free to air. Yahoo. I can listen on the wireless and romanticise about better days. Sigh

Edit, forgot I had tix to the lions game. Ill probably have to pay for someone to take them off my hands

I usually get to at least a couple of games a year.
This year I have zero interest in seeing this team live.

Yes Special K , that is so true . Only a faint glimmer on the horizon , nothing more . Our older players are playing good footy and no one coming through to replace them bar HOF , No 35 , and Jagga and Jagga aint the new Daicos .

Where did all this Jagga Daicos nonsense come from, and why are we using it as a stick to beat him with? Come on, people... Jagga has played 6 games and is doing very well, showing clean, quick hands and vision in tight midfield spots. I can't remember exactly how good Naicos was in his first season, but it certainly wasn't close to as good as he is now, and he had an unaccountable role picking up cheap pozzies (no 'r'!) off half back. Geez, we do love to eat our own, don't we?

While I watched last night on TV, I was really disengaged, when our players lined up for goal I didn't care if they missed or not, when we had the ball, I didn't care if we turned it over or not. The only point I actually cared was the last 15 seconds when Talor was lining up for goal, stupid me.

it felt like naicos came into the comp averaging 30 possies and 800m gained at 90% eff ...

tbh ... walsh's first 6 games showed more than jagga. jagga to me seems tentative, espesh in traffic. some of the poor disposal in the coal face is bcos he's shitting himself, i think.

he got slung pretty hard in the 3rd qtr Vs the tigers, and ever since, he doesn't seem as willing to take the game (and the oppo) on.

i thought jagga would provide lots of run from contest, and spread, and thought his clever creativity with the ball would bust games open. i still hope that's the case and right now he's just got the yips.


whether jagga likes it or not. austin moved a helluva lot of assets for him, and pronounced him the next great thing on draft night. that raised some pretty inescapable expectations, imo ...

He's pretty slight, coming off a knee reco, I'm not surprised he's got improvement in handling physical aspects of the game. He'll come good with another pre-season or two.

Yeah I'm not worried about him. First season and off an ACL in a side that's struggling.
