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 ?
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.
