Every year, we start off optimistic, swallowing the spin.

Every year we start the season with a flogging and are behind the 8-ball from the outset.

2007 Loss St Kilda 31 point

2008 Loss Hawthorn 104 points

2009 Loss North Melb 34 points

2010 Loss Hawthorn 56 points

2011 DRAW Sydney Yahoo !!

2012 Loss Brisbane 41 points

2013 Loss Port Adelaide 79 points

Fair dinkum - we keep beeing sold the rebuild story, the winning more quarters, the games into the kids - blah blah blah

We employ coaches and recruiters to give us something to hang our hats on - sadly, the results speak volumes for the selections we have made.

We get a lot of the same blah blah blah from posters on this site, yes I agree with what you have above, but what? you didn't agree with Bailey getting sacked and us having to start again, last time we played finals was 7 years ago, Neeld is trying to build for the future so we don't see a run like that again.

Suck it up, nobody is happy with now, but take the long view

I totally agree that Bailey needed to be replaced. I would put it to you however that the latest rebuild has taken us further backwards - we were not close to competitive last year, and have receded even more in 2013. Hard to see any positive at present, except for Jack Viney.

There are a million topics on this board, all relating to the same thing, listen to what Neeld said at his presser this week, I'll paraphrase "our brief when we came in was to rebuild the footy dept from the bottom again" "no I didn't think it would be this hard"

We are going to have a team, but at the weekend we had players when counted together didnt have 20 games total

Why do you think you have not got many replies, you are just going over old ground again
