There goes our once in a decade chance to lose the 190pt record margin.
Only time that it has been even seriously threatened that I can think of is when Brisbane Bears were 160 points up at 3/4 time against Sydney in 1992 or 1993, when Brisbane Lions were 110 up on Freo at half time in 1999 and the Geelong/Richmond debacle of a few years back.
You'd think losing to Fitzroy by 190 points would just slightly have topped Thursday night for low moments of the last 47 years.
At least they won the next week...
This should be merged with the "I hate the logo because we lost to the Eagles" thread.
Any other drastic overreactions that people want to get in before next week? Kaspersky failed to find the virus on your computer? Hankook tyres caused you to crash into a tree? Start a thread!
I drove through Myrtleford last weekend and thought "I wonder what Guy Rigoni is doing now?". Welcome back Guy.
Can I put in a request for a 1991 era forward line featuring Jakovich, Bennett, Cuthbertson and Rod Owen?
Either that's a clever gag about the media targeting him or he's extracting the urine - Jack has been kicked to in the forward line about once this season.
Speaking of 80's classics how about this cracker?
Note the irony of Gerard Healy singing the line about how great Melbourne is about 15 minutes before he did a runner to Sydney for bags of cash.
And while we're at it the greatest song of all time
And is there one that we can steal from somewhere else? Obviously you're never going to get a Franklin - and with GC and GWS on the market you'd be lucky to get anyone half decent if they were also interested - but are there any 21-22 year old big bodied forwards at other clubs that we could have a crack at?
How exactly is that? What can we possibly offer to psyche out a team who has won a flag and played in front of crowds in H&A games that we'd be lucky to see in a prelim? Is Bails going to throw toilet paper at Mick's house?
I might be out of touch with the kids but either we're kicking goals and that's all the excitement needed OR we're kicking junk time goals when the game is lost and hearing the song will cause me to slash my wrists.
Mind you if the darts music came on I'd give it the appropriate reaction.
Erm yes, that did have a touch of Don Lane about it. Of the animal variety I can assure you.
Poor 12yo me stuck out my hand to point at something and WHACK. I almost ralphed.
