Oh... oh man. I apologize for bringing it back up... FWIW I was talking about our "premiership window" lamenting that era; not of any particular game or final (where the topic went)
Ultimately we weren't good enough. Ultimately our window came at the cusp a triple premiership dynasty. It's just rotten luck that last part. But in 2015 we could have ended the Hawthorn streak off our own bat. In a year we finished top the ladder. And we fumbled it, AT HOME, of all places.
I routinely watch back the 2013 grand final in other years (in weeks like GF week) because its bitter sweet loving that Pav and Mundy got to the big dance. They deserved that at least from a dedicated career. I think Isaac Smith is the moment we lost. There is the famous anecdote that Hodge pulled him up and had the group not overly celebrate early. But the momentum of that goal, the crowd getting up, can't be denied.
Collingwood had some outside 50 monsters that acted the same way for their group in key moments. They are BIG in grand finals.

We are a joke of a club. A feeder club just like Gold Coast.
There's more to the Schultz trade request that may come out, but we definitely need to do more in the player retention/attraction area.

CTD hinted at the reason, but it still stings.

Yeah there's something rotten in the State of Denmark.
It's becoming increasingly challenging to get around this club.

It’s also a continuation of a trend. Different reasons but all resulting in the same outcome. It’s deflating…….
This is damning and indefensible.
I don’t know if it’s JL or Bell or what the hell it is but something is rotten. Seriously rotten.
This. Is. Not. Normal.
We can’t win premierships.
It’s just facts. Not competitive on field, not competitive off field, worst flying/interstate team. Brutal WA media.
Just numb to it tbh.

I've been saying this for ages - our club has serious problems. Selling out on blokes to bring in Jackson was a shit thing. We cant keep giving away our depth and expect to have a good culture. Joke of a footy club starting at the top with Bell, then the bumpkin coach, Mr Mumbles himself
Absolutely. The trades for reasons that we can't change are the very reason we need to ensure we're doing all we can to cover the trade reasons we can.
Absolute clarity of why we're going backwards fast - every year we give experience away instead of building a strong and deep culture.
Make all the excuses you want about why but that's all they are, excuses. we're a rabble, have been our whole existence.
Quite simply - the great teams of the comp, including the WCE, just dont lose players and dont turn over the volume of players anything like we do.
The great teams of the comp have training facilities in desirable locations.

Acres all over again.
Tommy Emmet my boy, you bring a rukus to that pocket from now on. Godspeed!
...And as for you Lachlan, I will no longer see you as the loveable hybrid of Frodo and Walter White Jr.

Sad, but feels very true.
I've kind of settled on the fact that we're not going to be having a shot at a flag until Darcy & Brayshaw etc are our seniors at 30+ and we've had to endure another bottom out of drafting talent and rebuilding the list again under their leadership. Constantly losing depth and role-players in certain age groups whilst in strike range has now just forced that. JUST FOR A CHANCE!
Trash management and trash coaching even if Schultz somehow stays. Looking at the people who run this club and are employed at it outside of the playing list makes me want to ****ing vomit.
