Agreed we are parramatta likeThis is the worst we have ever been in my lifetime.
I'm seriously not used to us being soooo shit, certainly not Bulldogs DNA!
really?Agreed we are parramatta like
Which funny enough was the same time Chris Anderson took control of the team . We then went on to make semis and 2 grand finals and got a Premiership, lets hope history repeats itself. Hard to see at the moment ..We missed the finals four years straight from 89-92.
Although it wasn't our best period, it wasn't as bad as it seemed:We missed the finals four years straight from 89-92.
I'd argue that period was just as bad as where we are now after so many players jumped ship after 88.Which funny enough was the same time Chris Anderson took control of the team .

It was a top 5 back in those days so going 10 and 10 was pretty mediocre it shows you how soft the comp has become when winning half your games gets you into the finals.Although it wasn't our best period, it wasn't as bad as it seemed:
1988: We came 2nd in 1988 and won the Premiership.
1989: We won 10 and lost 10. In today's comp we'd have made the top 8.
1990: We won 12 games and lost 9. In today's comp we'd have made the top 8.
1991: Finished 5th and made finals.
1992: We won 10 and lost 10. In today's comp we'd have made the top 8.
but were competitive through those 4 years. Unlike the current bag of crap.We missed the finals four years straight from 89-92.
1991 we lost the play off for 5th.Although it wasn't our best period, it wasn't as bad as it seemed:

Dont think that period was as bad for the fans. For starter we just won gf in 88. We also had a play off against west to get into the final in one of those seasons.I'd argue that period was just as bad as where we are now after so many players jumped ship after 88.
What got us back into contention then was so many gun juniors coming through the club. That 1991 Presidents Cup team was phenomenal.
Things were a lot more simpler back then without the cap so let's hope Opes has updated his approach.
I think that’s a fair point it was top 5 back then so if you came 6-8th you were still competitive you just didn’t make finals. Atm we aren’t that competitive most games.Although it wasn't our best period, it wasn't as bad as it seemed:
1988: We came 2nd in 1988 and won the Premiership.

Recent GF wins make mediocre seasons more easier to stomach for sure. If we jagged a comp in 12 or 14 the fans attitude would have been tempered some bit. It’s also easier to look back on that period now knowing we got ourselves back into contention shortly after. We don’t have that luxury now.Dont think that period was as bad for the fans.
