On the flip side, no expectations also equals no sense of anticipation. And the joy that comes with that. The club has a responsibility to provide that to its supporter base. At least once in a while. For some it’s been a livelihood for decades. They’ve enjoyed the club with their kids, their parents, their partners. Some of them no longer with us. It’s much more than a game to some. To others it’s just a game, and that’s fine.
Agree it’s healthy to have more than one passion in life, but footy can absolutely be one of them. Everyone is different.
I disagree a little. I do get the anticipation when we might be on the verge of something big (old habits), but it would have to be something really big for it not coming to fruition for me to be inconsolable. I‘m talking Elon Musk pledging to buy the club and pumping 10 billion dollars into it, only for Lee to run his mouth about it on his chintzy little radio plug before the deal is official, only for Musk to pull the plug, big.
I’m talking more about game day mate. I was predicting our losing margin fairly consistently last year. That’s no fun.
I really wouldn't be surprised if either eventuate... Especially AFB.... just another day in Zurich via Concord
Time heals
Always thought they were most likely.
I admit I still wake up the morning of a Tigers game with a bit of that sense of excitement I got as a kid. But I refuse to travel to watch them play because I know how miserable the trip home’s going to be now. I’m extremely bitter at those in charge of the club because they are depriving people of that happiness so they can keep their inflated pay packet/ weekly ad on the radio.
Dragons have Twiggy Forrest money now.
Control what you can. Try to get what you want. Let go what you can't. Good philosophy.
The man is smart enough to come up with a thousand ways to circumvent the salary cap. He won't want to be associated with a mediocre club.
hold on cowboy. weren’t you saying Luai ain’t coming to WT last night?
Very low indeed.
