"Losses were frustrating but were just losses now, they were not existential subliminal reinforcements on who we really were as people. We were not losers; we had merely lost a game"

This guy just wrote my entire history following the Dogs.

Brilliant.

I liked azabobs article better actually.

Thanks ab. (I couldn't read it paywall but this comment was awesome, Crows turning to Dogs... Is that water to wine... Is Bailey the messiah?)

The only good part about that evening back in the winter was the really great time we had at the game sitting with a group of Port lads and a few lovely young Doggies supporting women near the Bulldogs interchange bench.

They confessed at half-time that they were actually Crows fans but had come to gawp at Bailey Smith!!
