Why does this still make me feel ill?

HIDIOUS. clearly the inventors of youtube had Geelong supporters in mind - we're the sort who fill our off-season with secret visits to video sites like this to re-live the visceral pain over and over again - a mantra to remind ourselves that football justice excludes just us.
But like bogong moths to a sleet-resistant flame we'll be back.
Note the link between my landmarks and Geelong's
30 - 2006 - Geelong trounce Port Adelaide at the Oval to win 2/3 of the years championships (a slightly misleading statistic).
20 - 1996 - Gary Ablett delisted - ??????????? - entry to the GFC abyss
10 - 1986 - Gary Ablett listed - !!!!!!!!!!!!! - entry to a decade of blissful home+away seasons
0 - 1976 - sitting pretty at 11wins/ 6losses after 17 rounds (no doubt coupled with premature GF talk in the kardinia park outer). Four straight losses duly unravelled, then a taunting win in the first final and a reassuring thrashing in the semi. The natural order of things I'd say and a good predictor of the next 30 odd seasons.
