Improvement? Wat improvement FFS

[gerkin greg]

Just looking at the ladder and it is clear we have not improved one bit in 30 years

1. SYD - beat up the league leaders all day but only won by 29pts 

2. WC - lost an arm wrestle by 10pts 

3. ADL - lost by 19pts away after beating up on them early 

4. COL - lost by 21pts after our comeback fell short 

5. HAW - played terribly in the wet, only won by 62pts 

6. ESS - lost by 19pts after our comeback fell short 

7. GEE - lost an arm wrestle away by 10pts 

8. STK - widely labelled game of the season yet we only won by 8pts despite having lost 13 straight to them 


Only won 3 games against the top 8 (below half = poor FACT), and if you combine the scores you will see that whilst we come out in front by a handsome +20pts, it really is not good enough for a young side, and a disappointing read to say the least, full of excuses and 30 years of mediocrity.

And whilst we may be ahead of sides like Norf on the ladder by virtue of an easier draw and some sort of optical illusion, it is clear that they are doing something that we aren't, i havent seen them flogged by a ton or throw away winning margins yet this season and I've seen at least one Norf game back in 1999.

Same goes with Melbourne, just wait until some other time in the future when we lose to them and i'm proved right.

FFS we are going backwards at a rate of knots, take the rose coloured glasses off you cross dressing morons 


thanks,

You forgot the Carlton game; was within a kick and half with 16 minutes to go....

Yep going backwards I reckon you're right

He only used good teams in his example. Carlton weren't forgotten.

Agree with everything - we're just going backwards.

We only beat the Premiers on their home turf in the NAB Cup by 59 points. Is it too much to ask for a piddly extra point to make it a 10-goal win?  No, only 59 points

Expectations rise quickly at Tigerland. Only wooden spoons and flags are acceptable. There are no shades of grey.

hmm north have beaten just 3 top 8 sides like us. geel, ad, stkilda. they copped a 115 point  hiding just 5 weeks ago.  and to top it off gave up a whopping 35 point lead late in the 2nd quarter just this week.
not sure if north was a good example to use.

just had another read not sure if one is not being just a tad sarcastic in his appraisal.
