Why are manly so mighty and easts so mediocre?

Seriously, like us a glamour beachside club and a junior base almost as bad as us. We are way more financially stronger than them yet modern records prove they are vastly superior to us. Since the 70's they have won 8 premierships yet we only have 3.

They lack the infrastructure and train in some backwards park. So what is it, what have they got that we lack? They win at least a comp every decade whereas we win one every 27 yrs.

Discuss!

They buy better players.

[Guest]

We've won 12 comps in 104 years, so by averages we've won a little over 1 per decade.
So your post is shite!

[Rocky Rhodes]

Yep, agree. They don't pretend that they can rely on youth as well. They buy to fill needs and don't buy 50 second rowers..

They make better decisions.

Their cheerleaders are better sorts.

You are such a dopey merkin. I'm talking about modern times. If you like history then go and support Souffs and enjoy black and white premierships.

They are home to players who are as wild on the field as they are off it.

Recently, we've been home to the spectacularly average or perennially overpaid.

But you said we win 1 every 27 years did you not?

[John Corey]

They are a heck of a lot more tougher, smarter and disciplined than us. We like to play tough, but at the same time give away dumb penalties.

[Rocky Rhodes]

But you said we win 1 every 27 years did you not?

Yes. The difference between 75 and 2002 is 27yrs is it not? But cheer up pal, we are due in 2029. That will be an awesome year.

They are a football club with everyone having clearly difined roles and KPIs all working together like a well-oiled machine

We are a dictatorship where one person has the power to have the final say in every decision made at the club

Absolute power never works unfortunately

Maybe the Yanks should invade us.
