I know we're a long way from even thinking of winning another anytime soon, but a convo with another member led to something that - I wouldn't say bugs me, but which I bring up from time to time in convos about our legacy: the fact we always seem to slide after a premiership. I guess it's mostly been bad luck/timing. Lord knows we've had our chances, 93, 07, 19. Arguably a 3 peat wasnt that far off somewhere there...but something always goes wrong. I mean, we haven't even had a chance to defend our premiership, i.e. play in a gf after winning the previous. We tend to lose one first then win one shortly after. In the AFL era the Crows, Lions, Hawks, Tigers have managed it so it's a tough feat for anyone, but still something I'd love to see before my time on this earth is over (I'm 37, born the same year as the WCFC). But ultimately more a bonus than anything.
Maybe a trite thread but it's off season now.
