"They Say the Darkest Hour is Right Before the Dawn"

That may well be my point.

I think many supporters can get carried away with expressing optimism in the face of adversity.....it is motivating and very altruistic The reality is we have not won a flag for nearly 50 years and for many long suffering supporters this is what counts. Getting someone near the summit and continuing to fall off is not what we aspire to do. At this stage, we are barely able to stay in base camp. A bit of passion around the club, including its supporters would be a pleasant change......stick your head out the window and say..."I'm as made as hell and not going to take it any more".

Exactly mate. Well put. we as a club should scream NO to mediocrity once and for all. The powerclubs certainly would know their members were [censored]-off we need to let ours know aswell.

I can assure you that I certainly know how to vent. I just don't choose to come onto an internet forum and have a hissyfit under an assumed and anonymous username. I much rather spend time on here analyzing where we're at and looking at how we can improve. Calls to sack coaches, absuing players who have limited ability but plenty of ticker like Brad Miller and insulting fellow posters who endeavour to enjoy their footballing experience shouldn't form part of the venting process. I can understand why some chose this approach but at the end of the day, most of these posts come across as self-indulgent, meaningless rants.

"I'm as mad as hell and not going to take it anymore".

Sorry, didn't help. If you reach a point where you're not going to take it anymore you wouldn't be posting on a fan forum. While you're here you might as well tell me in a constructive way what you would do as a coach.

Would you have tanked last year?

Would you have traded for an experienced key forward? If so, who and how would you get him?

Would you instruct your players to kick long into a forward line devoid of key forwards?

Would you adopt a possession game based around short kicking?

Who would you structure our centre square?

Which young players would you give a chance to and who would you drop?

Who would you have drafted over the past three years with the selections we had?

Would you have traded Johnstone and McLean?

How would you set the team up to defend kick-outs?

How would you combat a Hawthorn-like zone to our kick-outs?

Who would have played in your starting 22 last week?
