I ****ing hate that we have lost 2 finals to Geelong. Ever.
It kills me that we have lost 6 of our last 41 games v Collingwood, Carlton and Essendon combined. I ****ing despise that.

What’s with that wing, stage6 pull down hickey stand and build the stand over the road if need be to complete oval and stadium.
Hard to hate after winning the flag.

Entirely possible.
It wouldn’t be if they put in the effort.
You obviously don’t know much about the sport inside your little fishbowl.
Injuries.
Can not remember the last time Essendon had a fully fit squad for the season always have at least a dozen players injured every year

That the umpires are biased against us.
This has been a thing for me for years.
The Aussie accent doesn't change much over the country, but I can always pick a Victorian.
BT is a good example, have a listen next time he says Melbourne, etc. Malbourne.
Obviously from your response not all Vics do it though. I've known people from Geelong and Ballarat who speak that way.

I hate the Pies only got the opportunity to play Richmond once in finals since 2017. Always felt they couldn’t handle us under finals footy conditions. 2019 was a seriously lost opportunity for the Pies.I ******* hate that we have lost 2 finals to Geelong. Ever.

they aren't very good.
Feeling your pain Vinnie, we hate it that you didn't make it through to the GF in 2019 as well, sounds like we would have been taught a very valuable lesson.
Collingwood last beat Richmond in a Grand Final 94 years ago, so you were due.

I hate that every other team in the comp seems to be able to pull off pinpoint passes to players inside their F50 who are well-positioned for a shot on goal, and we just effing bomb it in.
That we're usually shit and tend to end up on the wrong end of some bizarre umpiring decisions from sirengate to the umpire asking the opposition if we wanted another shot at goal when one of our players was infringed while kicking a point. Hell we even had an umpire intercept one of our passes.
This year we copped the worse advantage call in the history of the league.

This 100%. Memberships also.
Imagine if we actually got our sh1t together, crowds/memberships would be through the roof.

As much as I love our song it is also just a chorus on repeat. We need to go back to a version like the fight back one they used to played at Moorabbin that had a couple of versus in there!

That we are Fitzroy/GWS/GC In their last and first years level of bad but the general vibe is everything is fine.

Another thing I hate about my club is that although we haven't played in nearly as many losing grand finals as Collingwood, our grand final win/loss ratio is actually worse.

The fact that since 2000 we've been a total and utter joke sadly. The St Kilda of the 21st century. Carlton is a great club with a great history, but we just totally and utterly haven't been at the races in the modern era.
Hopefully things will turn around eventually, because if this barren period without success goes on any longer, then we'll soon be the AFL's version of the Toronto Maple Leafs.

We always seem to fall off after winning a grand final. Don't quite remember what happened in 95, was pretty young, 2007 we all know what happened, no reason we couldn't have gone back to back. 2019-2021 were just horribly unlucky just missing out, injuries etc. Course as for the present it's pretty obvious.

Playing the Tsunami Warning siren just before the bounce at home games. No wonder no one shows up.

Definitely the amount of fans who only show up when we're winning. And music after goals at home games.
