    Re: Fans not wanting us to win/make finals

    This is like 1980 with Kelvin Templeton when we were crap except we have half a team of Kelvin Templeton's and we're still crap.

    I'm too old for this shit.
    But then again, I'm an Internet poster and Bevo is a premiership coach so draw your own conclusions.

    Yes we can't expect premiership after premiership. But we also shouldn't compare to our wretched past. We can and should be able to match it with the best and we've failed miserably since 2016.
    We made a grand final in 2021. If that's failing miserably I think that's a great example of what I was trying to say.
    Nobody's looking for a puppeteer in today's wintry economic climate.

    Like many others here, I saw 7 losing prelims in a row. So I'll put my hand up to being grateful we got Bevo.

    Traditionally, teams that get belted in a GF fall away for a couple of years.
    See Sydney this year, us in 2022, GWS 2020, Adelaide 2018, Freo 2014, etc.

    We're not a significant outlier based on 2022 & 2023 form.
