Record in marquee games

Post: # 1716429Post terry smith rules »

Since and including 2012 we have played in 15 Friday night games and lost 13 of them by an average of nearly 40 points (including 2 of 76 and 84 points )

3 ANZAC games and 3 losses

Now Good Friday

This does not include all those recent line in the sand games that have gone south.

There is an obvious issue when the footy world’s eyes are on us. It would appear to be beyond coaches and captains to lead us out of this problem. I would think it is a collective psychological thing.

Terrific post and very interesting statistics.
This is a serious problem.
The image and reputation of the club is truly in tatters.
We are a laughing stock of the comp. We are in crisis. We are not attracting any new members.
The sunshine and fairy floss of the marketing department and the pretense that all is fine is one giant con.
We have become so irrelevant our only purpose is to even up the draw.
We need regime change.

That is a joke. the saints I mean. Really the joke is on us, the supporters.

This weekend I needed a laugh. This joke, not the saints, did it for me.

"President Trump is walking out of the White House and heading toward his limo, when a possible assassin steps forward and aims a gun.

A secret service agent, new on the job, shouts, “Mickey Mouse!”

Miraculously, this startles the would-be assassin and he is, mercifully, captured.

Later, the secret service agent’s supervisor takes him aside and asks, “What in the world made you shout Mickey Mouse?”

Blushing, the agent replies, “I got nervous. I meant to shout Donald, duck!”

:D :D :D :D :D :D :D :lol: :lol: :lol:

Ameet Bains strikes again.
Highly regarded in AFL circles.
Good operator.

I think it's worth having a little heat right now

Seriously. Our performances on FTA tv in the last five years have been a genuine disgrace.
We are now the AFLs problem child and if they want to a relocate a side it will be us.
And we only have ourselves to blame.

One saving grace is that it will most likely be Tasmania.

Something we should have done fifteen years ago.

Contrast our efforts with today's marquee game.
A classic as usual.

i recall some car manufacturer put an accountant in charge, who had no idea about the motor industry,
and that car mob went really bad until the bean-counter was replaced...
Like Bains has done with footy clubs

Was thinking the same watching this arvo, great game of footy. Fridays was a shocker bar the last quarter, for the neutral supporter.

Deserve all the heat that comes our way, and hopefully there is a bit.
