Swoodley, I agree with your thrust and believe the “supporters” should be more “supportive”, but we still need room for criticism of admin, coaches, players etc, but we should keep it as constructive as possible. The losses hurt us all. This last weekend I was in hospital in Jakarta having heart surgery - not good timing but I liked what I saw in Wright, Redman, Hobbs, Caldwell, Reid and a few others and enjoyed them. Not the result, that was pathetic but those players gave me a glimpse of hope that we have something better coming. When Jones and Stringer and Snelling and Langford are back on deck we may end up having a great finish to the year. At the moment I am physically quite weak, but optimistically I see better times coming for the Bombers.

That’s the main thrust of my argument.

And good luck with your recovery…I hope you’re up and about soon.

Richmond nearly went under less than a decade after winning a flag and being the powerhouse of the comp and were in financial strife for years. Carlton have had a couple of bright spots but they’ve been doing this longer than we have. Doesn’t change the fact things seem dire right now though.

The 70’s reference is always laughable.

It was one ■■■■■■■ decade. We’ve been a laughing stock for 2 and counting.

Footy was also barely professional in the 70’s. “peanuts, peanuts”

Even my bloods have won a final or two in this period and we are a perennial cellar dweller in the SANFL

Thinking of the Collingwood drought and all those losing GF in between.
Winning a Premiership is so hard and I’m not in the slough of despond at the prospect of not winning one for the rest of this decade. Not to expect at the start of every season that we are a Premiership prospect. I just want us to be competitive, to improve, for players to play as a team , to give it their all, for young players to develop into top performers.

We might go the rest of the season with out winning a game. Lots of excuses or reasons for doing so.
But the loss on the weekend and the baggage thats come from it has given everyone the right to whinge. The boys bent over and took it and its out there for all to see. Could be the wake up call we needed. Should be a non negotiable now for all remaining games, win or lose, have pride in the jumper and play for it or fark off.
Whinge over, and I 'm a pom so I know all about whinging!!

A worthwhile Thread.
It’s probably expected that you’ve got the reactions you have, but it is infuriating & depressing to read the total mass hysteria on here that seems to have become the norm.
Yeah, we’re playing poorly.
But there are more green shoots now ( and in the past - ■■■■■ me how the history of the last 20 years of players gets rewritten lately in so many Threads) than people credit.
But unfortunately Blitz seems to be succumbing to the Curse of Social Media - amplifying conflict rather than discussion.
Ah well.
Like good actual supporters we’ll just have to wait it out.
Be frustrated but appreciate the moments our players can provide.

The problem with opinions is that everyone has them, including idiots.

Now get yourself over that parapet son, that’s a direct order!

well said @swoodley
but it seems that the raging gloomers don’t accept your proposition that their rantings as to how bad everything is, are excessively excessive.

all we can do is accept they are engaging in personal therapy by unleashing incoherently on here and not expect anything insightful.

The real supporters were in the outer using the footy record to block the sun.
We didn’t win those finals but Windy Hill didn’t stink of the excrement this current Board is dumping on the supporters. The CEO has not delivered in eight years and gets an extension. Absolute insult to the allegiance of the supporters.
Campbell is an incompetent- wouldn’t get the gig anywhere else except EFC. Brasher, Campbell, Muir, Barham, Madden Wellman, Sheedy - fkg useless.
