It seemed like a good idea at the time....

[Dry Rot]

A bit of late year fun - the great stuff ups by our team or coach or any other team or coach.

I have a hazy memory of a bad match up by Wallace in a 98 Crows final that cost us dearly.

Thoughts?

Aker getting another 12 months didn't exactly work for us especially given the off field distractions that followed and the fact that we gave him the license to do extra things in the media.

Great intention but Aker underlined that he was never going to go quietly

Smith on Robran?

Drafting Allen Jakovich with what was it? Pick 8/9?

Lachy Veale deal (as well as Koops and Street both for top 20 picks in that same trade period)

I guess they weren't even a good idea at the time.

Smith on Robran?

Yes, thanks.

Fine post Rocco

Jakos turkey was well and truly cooked

And the Summer of Rhode where he traded for Rawlings, Veale, Koops, Street and Morgan - I really wish I could forget

Heard a Lachy Veale while station surfing! Up in Corio way.

I'll go with " Premiership ours" Says Coach
I guess we were never in it losing the first 11!!

Robert Groenewegen grabbing the microphone, or playing silly buggers when the Footscray Mail photographer took the team shot & his appendage appeared in print.

Going up to Sydney in 1985 with a mate after we'd beaten Essendon only to cop a 15 goal flogging.

Channel 9 giving Fev a microphone at the Brownlow.

Swapping Terry & Neale Daniher for Neville Fields.

Fitzroy saying that as well as Chris Hansen for $60, 000 we'll throw in Peter Foster for another $5,000.

Rohan Smith on Matthew Robran should never have seemed a good idea at the time.
DR, thread title might better be read 'What we're they thinking ?'

Mate, that really happened. There's evidence of it an' all.

2008 Qualifying Final.... Yep i went there.

Hawthorn giving us an absolute bath, in the second quarter especially.

Just remember looking in Hawthorns forward 50 and all was there was Morris and Franklin.

Don't think it was the time and place to leave Buddy one out for the entire first half...

I remember sitting with my best mate who's a Hawks supporter saying the same thing, though this was after the 20 minute mark of the first quarter telling him we'd be lucky to get out of the game with an 8-10 goal loss.

That game, along with the 2009 qualifying final remain the biggest disappointments of our 2008-2010 run for me. We were completely underprepaired from a headspace perspective.
