After nearly 40 years of pain, the Eels can get stuffed :) I live in the Moreton Bay Area and am going all in on our local team and encouraging my 8 year old to do the same. I fear however he might already be too deep into the Eels vortex. Praying for deivine intervention to release him from this Vex.
To be fair my old man gave me enough warnings. He said son, follow the Eels and the following will happen:
1) You'll learn how to lose;
2) It'll build character;
3) You'll understand how false hope can rip your heart out.
He was spot on.
Cya fellow sufferers, it's been a journey :)

I'll take a bit of froth and bubble. Currently Eels are yesterdays dishwater.
Ricky's raiders are a poor choice mate :)
Nope , I would go for The Tigers before I cheers that Kunt on. Hate him with a passion.
haha, don't we all.
Wiz, that purple on your profile pic is a giveaway. The storm? Seriously? Lol
Ha , no mate. Unfortunately I have a soft spot for the Titans. Probably the only team as frustrating to watch as the Eels. I mean , what kind of masochist chooses to take on a team that's let's you down more than your proper team? Like i don't rush home to watch them play or anything , but I like to see them win and watch all the replays if I don't catch the live game , you'd think I'd have chosen a team that actually wins more then they lose to take a shine too . They'll come good , but they show you glimpses of a good team and then pull out a shocker or throw it away at the death. They're so Parra like it's not funny.
Ha your a glutton for punishment ..
Lol, yeah I get my mrs to kick me in the balls for shits and giggles.
Lol
Titans WTF??? Yeah that is out of the box...
I used to keenly enjoy watching the Raiders as my second team after that 89 GF. They were a bloody great side to watch until the late 90s. Always supported the Eels but during our lull in the early 90s the raiders provided another side to celebrate with.
What a team they had - as much as I hate Ricky and the Raiders now, he was one hell of a half back.
