How the stuff did our club go to poo so quickly. Gale is weak as pee
I mean it’s not uncommon right.
Lions last flag was 2003, by 2005 they were missing finals and other then 1 season where they tried the top up method that has also set us back, it took them 15 years to get back to contention.
Hawks last flag was 2015 and by 2017 they were missing finals other than 1 season again where they went down the top up route and failed. It’s now 9 seasons later and they may be back in the 8. My opinion is that they are over achieving and also doing themselves a disservice by finishing higher with a list that isn’t ready.
West Coast 2018 flag and by 2021 they were well and truly sliding.
Etc. etc.
And yes I’m aware of sides like Geelong and Sydney bucking that trend.
