Well it's not far off the mark. Certainly there is a remarkable lack of understanding involved, although whinging might not be the right word. Things change. And we know that many of the older generation simply cannot handle that, in various ways.

Ultimately our success in the eighties has no bearing on 2019...once again, things change. The game has changed on and off the field so much that it's almost unrecognisable compared to what was going on in the eighties. No club is successful forever, and in the modern game, it's much harder to win a premiership even when you are successful.

Actually, I take that back. If anything the eighties has, ultimately, had a negative net effect on our club. Because the eighties gave us Fitzy, and he has been a leading cause of much of the factionalism that has been the major reason we've found ourselves where we have in the past 10-15 years.

No club "stands" for anything at the end of the day. It's a silly comment from T-Boon that people have tried to make meaningful.
This is spot on.

Easy to get teary eyed and nostalgic about Parra but the whole game has changed beyond recognition. For a lot of people it peaked somewhere between 1989-1991 and has been on a steady decline ever since.

I'm about to open a mini-keg of Hobgoblin if any of you knob-goblins can get to Canberra in the next hour.

Don't say I never do anything for you

No point, mate. I've offered several times in the last year to shout beers in Yamba and nobody ever shows. If they won't go to Yamba you've got f**k all chance of them going to Canberra.

What in the name of sweet baby Jesus are you taking about??? Lay off the lithium Bruv.

Haha, fair call. I made some changes to the post which makes it I think both funnier and less stupid. Go check it out. Or what ever.
