Doesn't matter what you do this year, the 2008 side and the 2014 side are simply not the same football side, for reasons of which I've already provided. Thus, IMO it is folly to ascribe the achievements of these two playing groups to being the achievements of one playing group. If you have an issue with the reasoning, then take it to task and point out its flaws.
The core of it is though.
It doesn't matter really though does it. If we win this year, we surpass both Brisbane AND Geelong with or without 08 as the greatest of the modern era.
