Opinion Is this rock bottom?

It does all seem so hopeless, doesn’t it? Having said that, I don’t know about the rest of you. However, that clip featuring Braydon George, strangely, gave me hope for the future. The guys all look so happy and positive. Now, you could argue it’s absolutely misplaced positivity. It works for me though. I’m seeing resilience. I’m going to Marvel this weekend!

It's not so bad. These kind of things can make you more resilient. Gives you a toughness that you may need sometime, somewhere.

I guess rock bottom is a concept similar to the universe in that it keeps expanding.

This phase can be called rock bottom but there will be no point where we can agree is actually, rock bottom.

I find this terrifying

Never ever in my wildest imagination would I have thought we’d be here

A salient reminder from Todd. It will turn.

begs the question, who cursed us?

Really?

You don’t know?

Here’s how it will unfold

We rebuild

Start playing Finals

Make the Grand Final

On Grand Final Day there is a Zombie Apocalypse and the game is abandoned

2031 I am tipping

But not before a zombie gets on the field and scores a solitary point for the opposition, thus we technically lose the game.

Are we there yet?

Rock bottom would have been where we had no contingency plan in place, fortunately from an administrative perspective we turned the corner recently, there are quality people in key places now to deal with the issues coming our way,

Far from ideal but orders of magnitude better than when Shawy needed time out.

Yep, spot on.

After starting to lose any passion for the club then finding out that Clarko has stepped down, my son calls me and says "Wardlaw is in, we have to go and support him".

So I'm off to the game off the back of my son's passion. Well at least I raised him well

Ok.

I've questioned some of his football output but this might be Luke McDonald's time to shine. It's probably not about Olympic training standards now. We need loud, strong voices to bring the group together.

Guys like Larkey, McDonald, Ziebell, Corr, Logue, Shiels, Simpkin, Goldstein, Hall - the guys who look to be confident in their ability to stand up and communicate a position- are imo who we need to double down and drive morale.

We'll also learn about the character of our list this year. This is playing out as another torrid year.

We'll soon see who's sticking around in a statement of "I'm part of this" and who spins up a(an?) euphemism to get out the door.

Main hope is for us to button down the hatches and compete now. Nothing more.

“Button down the hatches”. Tee hee.

 

[Hearts to hearts]

Funny, thinking of curses, but while obviously the 90s was amazing, I’ve had some of my most meaningful footy experiences in the time since then which some people seem to be thinking of as one black hole.

The 2002 win over Port when we came back from the Carey thing. Ending the Saints streak in 2009. Edging Collingwood with Sav on Mothers Day (was that 2002 as well? 2003?) and Thommo in 2005 and the dodgy bounce (2008?). Laidley conjuring up so many unexpected wins. Not even a win, but when the North Melbourne banner went up to start 2008 after we defeated the relocation push. The finals wins in 2014-15 over the Tigers, the Cats, the Swans and - never gets old - the Bombers.

They are the kind of times I am grateful that this ”boutique”, always under fire, wonderful club is the one I chose to spend my life with. And times like now make those even sweeter.

My kids wanted to go to the zoo Saturday but it’s looking like crap weather so I half jokingly suggested the footy. I didnt really want to go but watching wardlaw debut would be sweet. Expecting opposition to my suggestion they surprised me with a cheerful YES!

My kids literally brought me back yesterday after feeling pretty shit.

We take this game/team of ours a little too seriously sometimes, kids are great for restoring positivity.

“Button down the hatches”. Tee hee.

I saw that autocorrect quite a bit later and was too lazy to fix it.

My gaff is your gain

Clokey can't work out why this is funny. Isn't it what you do with hatches? Button them? :stern look

Anytime we missed a gaff its a gain so you hang onto it.

Molten, then why is it so solid?

Its the pressure.

Ahhhhhh...

 

[Hojuman]

Yep, we're here. We've arrived.

[Makeshift Park]

What the **** you guys.

The players won that game.

Things are looking up.

 

[bengrina]

I’m looking at things a little differently after yesterdays game. I feel like for the first time since the rebuild commenced we have actually seen the first glimpses of our future moving forward.
