We were stupid to bring back cloke.
Raines thought he would be our centre man for the next 20 years.
What a sook.

Same here, but I did keep my membership alive during all those years, and donated to save our Skins. What else could one do?

They were tough, heartbreaking and demoralising years, but they made the two premierships oh so ******* great.

Was actually good for a laugh watching now in hindsight. Think it was just a teaser to Redemption in March 12.

It was not a laugh during those times one wants to forget. If you do not have it right at the top goodbye *smile*. When the Tigers recruited John Pitura from the South Melbourne for Brian "Whale' Roberts, Graeme Teasdale & Francis Jackson was that a disaster especially when Teasdale won a Brownlow

Have to admit, most times i couldn't see the light at the end of the very long and dark tunnel.
There were a few times you would get your hopes up that the club was changing. 1995 & 2000.
But the following years were major downers.

The lost years? These were the hardest years, the darkest years, the roarin' years, the fallen years. These should not be forgotten years.
The hardest years, the wildest years, the desperate and divided years. We will remember, these should not be forgotten years.

I thought it was a great omen when The Killers played that Oils song before we won in 2017.

I was there during all the pain, it's now nice to look back and remember how we hung tough for all those years. The show was made in 2013, I think. It jumped the gun a bit, but it proved to be prophetic.
 
It was a trainwreck and a lesson in how not to run a place. The difference from being a fairly amateur sport, run by egos, to a system. How the board did not have reviews and change things shows how bad it was. I felt that during the early 200's the players ran things rather than the management.
