Title: Has any club stuffed things up so badly for sooo long?
Post by: (•))(©™ on August 01, 2016, 05:55:17 PM
In the modern age, I cannot recall one team.

It's absurd that after three consecutive finals losses, the coach was given a two year contract.

Who does business like that?

But whatever, the question is, which club of the modern era has been as unsuccessful as the RFC ?

St Kilda until Lyon went there. Then after Lyon with Watters but they have stabilised now and look like moving forward.

Saints werent afraid to make a hard call early on watters even though they were roundly criticised and thought to have made a big blunder. So too the doggies with the previous coach.

Melbourne have had a pretty ordinary decade.

Even with all their improvement this year they have still only won 1 more game than us. ( and we have been woeful )

The AFL has given the Gold Coast every opportunity to become successful . Rather than become the unstoppable force we all predicted they have become the reincarnation of the old Brisbane Bears.

Results would indicate that we are the worst in the last 30 years….


But we have some fantastic people at the club and they are surrounded by nice guys!!!! :clapping :bow :cheers

I guess he  rfc is just subject to plain old bad luck.

Unfortunately, one makes ones own luck.

Depends on your definition of modern era - if we are looking at era's based on current leadership then I would say the latest era with Buckley.
Collingwood got rid of a premiership coach and gradually eroded their best list since the late 70's because the new coach wanted robots - or him.
They have gone from 2nd to 4th in his first year before finishing 7th,11th, 12th and probably 11th this year.
While I absolutely understand people picking over our carcass this year - what Buckley, Eddie and Gary Pert have overseen is hilarious to say the least.
What is even funnier is the way the media and their die hard supporters have embraced this mediocrity.

Melbourne signing that useless and stupid coach from collingwood  Mark Neeld. Worst coach in 20 years in the AFL.

He had so much to work with too >:(

His 15% win loss ratio says a lot. At least Roos has the sense to not criticize his players in public. Neelds after match interviews were train wrecks. As much as people boll ok on about Hardwick interviews he rarely criticizes his players for things they can't change like talent levels. If it's anything its effort or decision making criticism. Things a player can change.

So, he's not as bad as Neeld. Ok.

If I recall correctly we could have had Ottens, Richo, Pavlich(we drafted Fiora the pick before Pav) and Buddy all on the ground at the same time.

Hmmmmm bacon

It is all my fault, started following rich in 85 when i moved to melbourne.
