3rd Worst Team of the Decade

[Demonland 71,311]

Goodbye to whatever this decade is called. 

[Kent 2,906]

Says it all really I thought it was bad but not this bad.

Basket case for so long.

Now is the time to push for a great next decade

Starts now.

No wonder there is pessimism around here. 

[JakovichScissorKick 771]

So the same/similar as the  70s, 80s, 90s and 2000s then?

its better than I thought to be honest , I would have had us and carlton as worst by far

mind you the best team of the decade isn't that much better , whats one grand final win between friends  back in 2011 

[Uncle Fester 2,848]

We were horrible for 5 years of that. Not close to AFL standard. Those days are over.

[Clintosaurus 7,836]

Who cares. Not sure anyone would have expected any different.

Speak for yourself.

I knew we were bad, but I didn’t think we’d be worse than Carlton. That’s pretty damning. When will we finally come good?! It’s been 50+ years!

2020 is a fresh start. Here’s hoping we show some improvement for [censored] sake.

With the exception of not winning a premiership I would take the 90s/00s any day over the 10s.

Agreed we had a good side in the 90s if not for injury to some key players could have pinched a flag, the old what if Schwartz never did his ACL 3 times and Jakovich and his back 

[Ethan Tremblay 30,825]

We’re just so....Melbourne.

Of course.   Id like to see a decades ladder for those two decades though .     I bet we are sill well outside the 8 in both the 90s and 00s.

Gillon Mc has seen this and granted the Dees some compensation.  We will get

1st priority pick in 2020 draft

mid 1st round pick in 2021 draft

exclusive access to Gippsland zone for the next 5 years

Gillon Mc said “for the benefit of the game and the long term strength of the code, we need every team being competitive across many years”  

 

sorry- it was all a dream!! we are not the Suns 

 

 

[sue 9,096]

At least we get our fridge magnets right, unlike team #1.

 

[Bitter but optimistic 22,218]

Just another groundhog decade!

[Dee Zephyr 19,267]

Great reading. Onwards and upwards....again.

Top 2 Wins out of the 74.

one could extend that to "dimidium saeculum horribilis"

[Grapeviney 9,708]

It definitely looks bad, but it's a bit misleading because they haven't included AFLX games. 

Add those in and we go above the Giants into 15th spot.

Am 87 to 91 was all top 4, 2000 are not all bad a grand final, finals in 2000 2002 2004 2005 2006, so, the only decade we need not play finals was 70' s

Just now, don't make me angry said:

If we ran a ladder from the 70's through to now I'm guessing we would be holding the thing up at the bottom.
