The 103 point loss v Carlton in the FTF match was pretty woeful.
The 157 point loss to Geelong 2007.
Geelong was a gun side that we caught at the precise moment the juggernaut clicked into top gear.
GC was Ablett with a bunch of teenagers and cokehead from the NRL.
Carlton was 9th.
C'mon Dio, that is seriously appologist excuse making.
That highlighted just how far behind the best clubs, and i say club rather than team, we had slipped behind in how we went about football.
That was the ferrari racing the horse and buggy.
that wasnt a group of kids getting beat up on by team of match hardened footballers, that was a club leading the way on how to manage and play the modern game, against club still in the 80s
That was a club perfecting one basic game plan and its variants, against a club winging it week to week.
what was it Jack said when hardwick took over? something a long the lines of it was like going from primary school to high school?
