TW: rant

I didn’t choose this team, I was born into it. I couldn’t (truly) support another club if I tried. There’s 18 teams and I happen to belong to the one that is not only the worst one in the competition, but arguably the worst in history.

It’s not the fans‘ fault our performance is so poor - in fact we turn up in droves every single week despite knowing we’ll be belted. Which other club can say the same? The club is genuinely lucky to have fans like us, but how long until our patience runs out and we devolve into the rabid Essendon and Carlton fans? (no shade I think I’d be rabid if i were them)

It’s been 5 years of this shit. 5 years. I genuinely can’t enjoy the sport I love. I am no longer proud to be a west coast supporter, I’m genuinely embarrassed when I watch a game with my non footy fan partner when she asks why my team keeps kicking to the opposition.

how can I support a club that gives nothing back to its supporters? (I mean I still will because I’m a sick sick person like everyone else here) It pains me to see clubs like Collingwood, brisbane, geelong and hawthorn that go into games expecting to win or at least put up a fight and basking in the glory when they do win, hearing the media praise their players and coach and just being able to enjoy the footy.

The coffee bloke from critical AFL was right, the players were trying their best but with no clear instruction or game plan it makes their jobs 100x harder. Fucking Richmond’s VFL side. We’re a joke.

McQualter is a hack and I can already see us “westcoastifying“ talent like McCarthy, Ried, Dursma, Murdoch etc. I’ll say it with my chest and be happy to have this rubbed in my face when we start winning again.

This is not a knee jerk reaction to yesterday this is the culmination of 5 years of piss poor performance from the club I love.

see you all next week.
