I know the season is going bad when I find myself barracking passionately for Collingwood against Brisbane so our blues aren't the only team without a victory.

Sad, isn’t it

When your wife (who doesn’t even like or follow football) laughs at your latest rebuild story and tells you that Carlton will never be any good again, like they were “in the 90s” (when we met and I introduced her to footy).
This after she wandered past the TV while I was watching Saturdays game and asked why Carlton were being thrashed yet again.

...when you don’t really care all that much...

When I’m traveling to Melbourne during the footy season for the first time in many years and am not planning to go to a match.

When you agree to go out to what you know will be a crap restaurant on Saturday night instead of staying home to watch.

Yes the restaurant was crap - and coming home to watch the game I recorded on IQ was just stupid.


Second quarter not so bad.

When you are watching netball and start to think their points scoring for wins a- losses and quarters won is not a bad idea
4 points a win
2 for draw
1 point for every quarter won

we would still be bottom but at least we would have 8 points instead of Zero

its a bad season when even Darce, Richo try and talk up your "potential" and Robbo avoids bagging them on the Tackle....

All of the above.

Plus you don't go to the game in favour of watching it on TV so you can flick on to something else. And I have a top tier membership.

You know the season isn't traveling well when you still haven't bothered to check the final scores by Monday morning.
