    I know it is random, but that season is depressing. 2 wins. 16 losses - and a massive one to Essendon in the last round ... I'm guessing we didn't make the finals that year.

    Wow, how's that final game to rub salt in the wounds of a poor season!
    I knew him as a gentle young man, I cannot say for sure the reasons for his decline
    We watched him fade before our very eyes, and years before his time

    Just awful, Scott. You should've had another spin.
    Or was the idea perhaps that season 2011 looks wonderful by comparison?
    He reminds him of the guys, close-set, slow, and never rattled, who were play-makers on the team. (John Updike, seeing Josh Kennedy in a crystal ball)

    1964 - I am thinking they all had day jobs, back then probably six days a week - work Saturday morning, then footy in the afternoon. After a season like that, how many wished they would have stayed at work instead of playing round 18? How many did? That looks like a major capitulation, but understandable. Last game, season gone, why try?

    No quite a comparison.
    Just a totally Random Page, good or bad.

    The good news is, if they weren't that bad, then they would never have become the Sydney Swans!!

    1664 career games for the Dons vs. 542 for the Swans in that game. If you play kids...

    They didn't win a game all year, thanks to them we avoided the wooden spoon. Thanks, Roosy!

    Thank God for Fitzroy. According to Wiki that was the last season a team went winless.
