I get where the argument is coming from, but why pick one of the most mentally and physically tough teams to illustrate it
A team which was playing off in its seventh grand final.
While the premise of superior skills fitness and tactics should say the trend would be for modern teams to win, even dominate, of all sides back that 1989 team (who actually peaked in 1988) to buck the trend
On the other hand we have a club which has picked the eyes out of the talent pool for nearly a decade, has wasted good young footballers and still cant make an inroad into the competition
Would qualify as one of the weakest set ups of all time
