Forget the fact we can't field kick for the life of us (cept usually perhaps for the two Nick M and SAINT Nick), forget that we have more brain explosions (ie clangers) than probably any other team in the comp, forget that we more often as not handball to someone in a much much worse position, and forget that in front of goal we are turning into jelly, forget that apart from one quarter this season we've lost the bloods spirit of 2005 (why did it take Kirky to pull the guys together at three-quarter time against Brisbane, for us to start playing good footy?)....yeah, forget all that....the real reason for our decline since Sept 2005 is simply the uniform...The statistics speak for themselves:
2005 premiers, red socks
2006 losers, ronald mcdonald socks
2007 instead of being 4-0 (as we should have been had we kicked straight) we're already just 50/50, and heading for a further slide down the ladder, no matter that we're still 2nd fav to win the premiership. It just won't happen with footy socks supplied by Billy Smart's Circus.
I think the players are laughing so much when they look up and see umpteen pairs of candy-cane legs running about in front that they are put off their kicks...
