Reminds me of the trip down memory lane the ASADA scandal was. Seeing some of the absolute ****wits that sued us after.
I mean check out this squad list

Tautai, Cordoba, Brod Wright. lmao
I looked at that and though "that's a bottom 4 line up" and then checked and yep, 13th

2009 was worse.
I don't even recognise the name Lancen Joudo
I don't know if I think that lineup is worse than 2011 though, a lot of players missing a bunch of games that year doesn't help

True, and the funniest thing is reading some of the articles from that pre-season. A lot of them were talking us up hard, saying that we'd improved the squad from 2018!
Barrett was seen as a big upgrade on Noddy, and going into 2009 Seymour was still seen as a going concern.
Somehow Corey Hughes was seen as smart recruitment.
I think we lost Ross in the first game and the first half of that game too IIRC.
However looking back, 2009 was the year I became the most engaged with the Sharks since being a kid. I got Foxtel because of 2008 and thinking 2009 we had a shot and I didn't want to miss a game. I was so gutted when everyone wanted to kick us out for all the scandals. It really solidified me as a fan. I think it's when I signed up here too.
I ended up really connecting with the underdog spirit and put my hopes in the kids coming through.
In 2008 I wouldn't haven't been able to name everyone in the 17. In 2009 I knew who Atelea Vea was and was pissed that Storm had 'poached' him.
So I have a real soft spot for 2009 in a twisted way.
Where are you getting your news articles?
(easy typo to make obviously, I just thought it was funny)

It was so long ago, I actually remember reading them in the paper.

2009 was when I first bought my season ticket.
A good year beforehand and the addition of Barrett and a nice bonus from work saw me sign up and jag good seats in that palatial heaven we call the ET Upper Stand.

I think I’ve posted this on here before - I was at this game and it is the worst on-paper lineup we have ever had. Close to the worst on field performance too.
