Team Meltdown of the Year Award for 2019

[Mofra]

Hello Bay,

Given how much we all loves lists that take months to complete *cough* MVP *cough* Bottom 50 *cough*, here is yet another.

It is the inaugural Team Meltdown of the Year award, which should be self explanatory but surely someone doesn't work it out. No need for polls as the team boards tend to do all the work for us.

Round 1: Essendon
A stunning display of reality smacking a bunch of deluded supporters fair and square between the eyes.
Round 2: Hawthorn
A crackdown on off the ball thuggery has led to an explosion of quality reading material this week.
Round 3: Richmond
"It's like 100,000 membership cards cried out at once, and then.... ding"
Round 4: Carlton
For briefly dangling the carrot of hope then pulling it away.
Round 5: Western Bulldogs
Was away so couldn't read it in real-time but there are some incredible posts on the post-mortem thread
Round 6: Essendon
This was a we..BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!
Round 7: Richmond
One-way Dusty and Hardwick both packaged off to Outer-Mongolia based on the Richmond post-mortem thread

You could also rename this thread the Karma Bus...Essendope and Free Kick Hawks

Hawks 4th qtr was the worst ever meltdown under Clarko

Stringer looked good on the weekend.

Yep, really led your team to victory well.

His replacement for us (Schache) kicked 4 goals

Seemed like one of the few who actually cared on the weekend

We can't draft, but mate, we can trade.

 

[Lethality]

I'm glad we're finally taking the physicality out of the game. Isn't there enough brawling in the stands?

 

[Ok Boomer]

Obviously Hawthorn deserve this award but an honourable mention should go to the purples after losing to the worst team in the comp.

 

[Vindicater]

The Hawkes fans have been pretty bad this week.

They have gone full tin foil hat.

 

[Dinsdale]

at the very least last Sundays game has given bay 13 flogs an excuse to post even more shit than usual. Even the venerable Mofra is reduced to trolling.

The game didn't produce the content, the salty Hawks fans did

Gonna take a huge effort for any club to top the Hawf's epic round 2 melt.

I do however believe that the Bombers will feature very heavily in this thread.

Paul007 has already hands down won this for the hawfies already

Yep - there are two prime candidates this week, one of whom will be 0-3 at the end of this round.

we won a draft period?

Nah, we were the undisputed champion after round 1.

We backed it up with some good melts after this round as well but the hawks fans blew us out of the water.

Most Essendon fans have written the season off now so the melting will slow down.

 

[Tiger2709]

Stringer looked good on the weekend.

That proves that something isnt right at Tullermarine.

Indeed. Was kind of looking forward to a vigorous Richmond conglomeration after they miss the 8 but I think after R2 their fans now realize that the fairytale is over and have already accepted the stark reality of what is approaching.

Round 3 - A contender emerges...

You know, I thought that Hawfs would be hard to beat after round 2.

I am man enough to admit when I might be wrong...

I present to you Richmond Football Club. Basically everything that you remember about them pre 2017-2017 dynasty is now well and truly resurfacing and we are basically an #eco trending of reliving history.

Although this topic is currently being discussed in a different thread - https://www.bigfooty.com/forum/threads/richmond-excuse-thread.1215433/page-5#post-60254992 - I do believe that they have well and truly earned a nomination for round 3, thus drawing your attention here in this thread.

For those who want their milk straight from the tit check out the Dustin Martin or "Gloves are off! It's us versus THEM! threads trending on the Tugger safe space.

I eagerly await the OP's update.
