We were one of the last teams to beat geelong as well. We will see how your boys go against them this weekend.
No it wasn't.You were fairly ordinary last season yet you made a Grand Final.
I agree with your last comment.No it wasn't.
This year you lot have scored 100 points or more in game 8 times. Last year (not including finals) we did it 13 times.
This year with 13 wins you have scored 2017 points.
This year we have won only 7 games (6 less than you lot) yet still scored 100 points more than you lot.
We have also scored 100 or more points 9 times, once more than you lot.
Scoring goals is harder than limiting your opponent and in 9 out of 10 cases it is the main reason teams win premierships.
Over the last couple of years, you lot have rightly focussed on limiting your opponent.
It all comes down to the with the way our respective coaches utilise their midfields.I agree with your last comment.
You guys have a very good forward line, probably only second to Hawthorn. Tredders/Ebert/Motlop/Hoff thus you are a more attacking side.
Our strength is our backline. And thus we are yet to make the GF. I aree that to win finals you need a dominate forward (or two) to get those easy goals. Every goal we get is hard work. This year however we have seen a genisis of a decent forward line.
Heck if we had a Motlop or an Ebert, instead of a second (would third be too harsh) rate Welsh in 05/06 we would of put up more of a fight against the Weagles and certainly would of beaten the Swans in the Grand Finals. Both of those clubs not having dominate forwards either.
Or forward line problems are the most frustrating thing about our club.
Having said that, this year I am still of the opinion that if teams do not bring their best game to the plate you lot can take them. Geelong though is in another league as their worst still appears to be better than your best.I agree.
Port 01-04 were more defensive orientated and thus you won a flag. Since then it has been all out attack and got smashed in a GF. Teams with a defensive mindset, with ability to score goals, win flags. Essendon Brisbane, Port (04), Sydney, WCE. This is not us yet.
Geelong do both well.
There's going to be some feverish rewriting of headlines at the Advertiser tonight.
Collingwood will beat the cows.
and plane tickets
kg will be inconsolable. Rowe is probably writhing on the floor speaking in tongues ... And making sense!!!
Another Neil Craig finals failure on the way again.

And Ditts would be...ummm...ummm...p****** himself laughing
If Geelong dont win the flag I feel the Earth will cave in.
