Kent 2,920 Posted December 9, 2019 Posted December 9, 2019 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. 2 1 Quote
JakovichScissorKick 771 Posted December 9, 2019 Posted December 9, 2019 (edited) So the same/similar as the 70s, 80s, 90s and 2000s then? Edited December 9, 2019 by JakovichScissorKick 2 Quote
markc 975 Posted December 9, 2019 Posted December 9, 2019 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 3 Quote
Uncle Fester 2,848 Posted December 9, 2019 Posted December 9, 2019 We were horrible for 5 years of that. Not close to AFL standard. Those days are over. 4 Quote

Lord Travis 10,817 Posted December 9, 2019 Posted December 9, 2019 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. Quote

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 1 Quote

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. Quote
spirit of norm smith 16,679 Posted December 9, 2019 Posted December 9, 2019 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 1 Quote

Grapeviney 9,929 Posted December 10, 2019 Posted December 10, 2019 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. 3 7 Quote

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 Quote
rjay 25,424 Posted December 10, 2019 Posted December 10, 2019 Just now, don't make me angry said: 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 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. 1 Quote
