Picking through the bones of 12 years of Misery

[Fork 'em 6,521]

Only 12 ......
More like 50.
We've been garbage for as long as I remember.
And even when we were good in the late 80' and early 2000's we were still garbage.

And Hawthorn supporters have lived a charmed existence since the early 70s.
Dunno what the under 25yrs old stuff is about.

At three quarter time in the 1971 Grand Final, St Kilda was leading Hawthorn by 20 points. At that stage, each had won a single Grand Final while we had won 12. Since then, St Kilda has kicked on with multiple wooden spoons while Hawthorn now has 13 Premierships...and we've still got 12.

Just bought the book last night chook.

Now we've made the finals, I'm mentally sound enough to read through the disaster that has been.

If we'd missed the finals again I couldn't have gone near it.

Still feel guilty for what I put my kids through.

Is it really 600 odd pages?

The last few minutes of that video gave me goosebumps. Brilliant and thanks for sharing.

Oh right so its not what I pictured where it might be 400 pages and 370 blank pages for vomit catchment and readers to draw pictures of Neeld with stink lines?

I suggest carrying a copy and throwing it at him or Schwab if you see them in the street.

Great video and reminder of where this club has come from. Friday night is a great opportunity to turn a new page and hopefully make Geelong regret they made the finals.

Almost 50/50 in fact.

Just want to add that 5:55 has really stuck in my craw. I hated it then and I hated seeing it now.

I know there’s nothing wrong with it and I like Lingy and Gaz but it’s quite annoying.

After Neeld putting his bonce on TV and airing our dirty laundry while looking like an absolute peanut, I'm now back focused on what matters.

Stuff 12 years of misery. Let's go out and tear 'em a new arzehole.
