That should be our new name... the Almost Football Club, kings of gutsy losses.

Not for a while it seems.

Heeney aside, their best players consistently are still Parker, Kennedy, Rampe and McVeigh. It's the wise heads at key times that steady. When you compare them to Murphy, Thomas, Ed Curnow and Simpson, then there is a stark contrast.
Mills, Heeney and Jones are their next rung, but they play that system well, players know where to run and what to do, no matter who they bring in. Buddy brings the cream, but the others get the job done.

It's frustrating for all of us, but it's a stepping stone and a hell of a lot better than floggings.

If it wasn't for meeting two sides going through a horror patch, we would have had a winless year last year.

Yes, although they are much better than beltings.

Mentioned in the pre-game that 'honorable losses' are becoming a little thin.
If we keep having them it will only make coping with the bad loss worse when it occurs.
We need to win.

And that about sums up where this once great club now sits... we're eternally grateful for not being belted.

I guess the Almost Footy Club is a positive, this year I have thought several times during games that we're a chance, didn't have to worry about that last year.

Lost interest before last season. By now in 3 games we should have at least won one. Don't want to hear excuses. I rarely watch the games anymore. Still a member but the club is getting to the point that it may as well fold.
