The Big Vic clubs?
Essendon haven't won a final in nearly 17 years - that is coming up on 8000 days. They haven't won a premiership in 24 years. They are a meme club at this point.
Richmond had a nice little 4 year run on the back of a generational player (Martin) and an innovative game plan that they almost lucked into due to injuries tp their key forwards. Prior to that they were a basket case who hadn't won anything in more than 35 years and who had at one point rattled tins to survive. Now the coach is gone, Dusty isn't far behind and they are last on the ladder with little to suggest anything but a long rebuild ahead.
Carlton are the worst performing club this century. No grand finals since 2000. 5 wooden spoons. A host of other miseries including this current decade long rebuild which looks like peaking with a lucky trip to the preliminary final, with two horrible season collapses either side.
Even Collingwood - the biggest and most powerful club in the land, right? The same club that has won 3 premierships in 66 years - and that includes last year. Most recent premeirship.run lasted two.years, now back to being a solid mid table.club. I guess Collingwood have managed to be better than average across the past 15 years, which cancels out being a massive underperformer for the previous half century.
I'm sorry, but as a supporter of a Big Victorian Club, when exactly is the Vicbias going to.kick in? And when it does, how will we know?
There are a lot of self-inflicted wounds there. I mean Jesus Christ you've listed the history of Carlton and Essendon there without mentioning the two gigantic elephants in the room.
