La Dee-vina Comedia 17,137 Posted April 15, 2015 Posted April 15, 2015 Slightly different, but still waiting for a Melbourne player to kick 100 goals in a season. 9 Quote
Bay Riffin 1,518 Posted April 15, 2015 Posted April 15, 2015 not beating St Kilda since 2006 is the most embarrassing. would love to own Hawthorn sometime in my lifetime. they've owned us it seems forever since the 80s. 6 Quote
DistrACTION Jackson 10,750 Posted April 15, 2015 Posted April 15, 2015 Maybe we can keep this going until we've marked them all off. Maybe then we can feel like the team is moving forward! 1 Quote
rpfc 29,030 Posted April 15, 2015 Posted April 15, 2015 Marked one off last year when we beat the Crows over there. 1 Quote
John Crow Batty 8,893 Posted April 15, 2015 Posted April 15, 2015 (edited) We need to knock off at least five. One or two per season will still keep us in limbo land. Edited April 15, 2015 by america de cali Quote
rpfc 29,030 Posted April 16, 2015 Posted April 16, 2015 We need to knock off at least five. One or two per season will still keep us in limbo land. Beat St Kilda at Etihad a week after beating the Pies on QB and that is four of the above... Some are more meaningful than others though. Beating Geelong down at Mordor would be huge, and of course beating Hawthorn, but Geelong are on a precipice - I would love to push them over... 4 Quote
P-man 13,367 Posted April 16, 2015 Posted April 16, 2015 The Etihad and North droughts are the most ludicrous. 5 Quote
Jesse Christ 2,884 Posted April 16, 2015 Posted April 16, 2015 Ludicrous was exactly the word that came to my mind p-man! Not winning two in a row for 3 whole seasons is [censored] disgusting! I hate this thread. Nice formatting though I have to say. 1 Quote

Sir Why You Little 37,459 Posted April 16, 2015 Posted April 16, 2015 Ask the leadership group. It's up to them. Quote
Jesse Christ 2,884 Posted April 16, 2015 Posted April 16, 2015 I actually hated writing it. I'm not joking. I don't know whether to laugh or cry. I've recently adopted a strategy of starring into emptiness. I've cried too much and laughing makes you appear psychotic I've found. Quote

Good Times Grimes 2,396 Posted April 16, 2015 Posted April 16, 2015 If I'm not mistaken, the last time we beat Hawthorn it put us on top of the ladder. I think that was also the last time we were on top... 1 Quote
PaulRB 6,435 Posted April 16, 2015 Posted April 16, 2015 Added a few more. Can you also add the win over in SA last year, was big and be nice to feel we've knocked over more than just one record since Roo's arrival..? Quote
Demon Jack 7,196 Posted April 16, 2015 Posted April 16, 2015 2011 - the last time someone named Nathan Jones hasn't won the best and fairest and carried the club on his shoulders. Quote
John Crow Batty 8,893 Posted April 16, 2015 Posted April 16, 2015 (edited) In the current game a 100 goal plus goal kicker is a bit unrealistic. Last happened in 2008 for any club. Though Hogan is as good a bet as anyone to get there someday. Edited April 16, 2015 by america de cali Quote

Qwerty30 196 Posted April 16, 2015 Posted April 16, 2015 Has not won a flag since 1964. Only record that is important to me. Quote
