eagles were about 8-9 goals up at 3/4 and only won by a goal
Yeah, I understand and if the games were at the same time then it would have been interesting for sure.
Victorian clubs don't. Only Melbourne clubs do.
Oh yes, that 15 minute bike ride from Geelong to Melbourne is really tough on the bodies. Different timezones.
MCG to Kardinia Park is an 160km round trip. 2 hours 30 minutes with no traffic. Ridiculous to suggest it's commutable. For all the Melbourne clubs it's less than 10km away.
For players like Dangerfield who live in Moggs Creek it's actually a longer trip than getting on the plane from Adelaide.
MCG is only a 4 hour flight from Perth as well.

Trav Varco kicked straight and that prelim went to extra time, I think i would have had a heart attack at the G and died.
Nah there's only one, 'What if the Saints were better'.

What if Dan Menzel didn't have such baulky knees?
Hawks have no matchup for him, the Kennet curse would still be alive and 2013 PF has entirely different ending

The interesting one from 2007 is we hold on in the last minute in the round 20 game against Port. Win that we finish top 4, Port would be no higher than 3rd

Joel Corey hasn’t smothered Chris Bryan’s shot on goal in the 2007 Preliminary Final.
Entirely foreseeable that Collingwood go on to win the 2007 flag and 2007-2011 reads two premierships a piece for the Cats and Pies.

Settle pettle long wouldn't have run through him like that in 2017 and Dean Wallis wouldn't have broken Brad Greens jaw. Would have made a difference? Probably not but we were intimidated off the field which as I said I hold no grudges about because that was footy back then.

Also with Gold Coast if Prestia, Swallow, O'Meara, Bennell and Ablett all stayed fit and at Gold Coast the last few years would have probably been a lot different
Hardly even a question. Almost certain you would've. Literally every other team around the mark fell to pieces, that was the only reason we made it.

The rich clubs don't conspire to keep North out of the VFL in 1896?
North kicks straight in 98?

It wasn't anywhere near as frowned upon back then. Listen to the commentary, Jason Dunstall says ' he might get looked at for that'
Long got 4 games which were served in the pre season . In today's footy he would have got 6-8 then had it double for GF loading so potentially 16 weeks. He wouldn't have done it

So you admit he got punished? So it was against the rules same as in 2000?
Keep in mind your original argument was
Which is the stupid part I called you on.

We would not have done any better. Most likely we wouldnt have played in 7 GFs in a row. And GAJ still would have gone to GCS for the $$$$$$$$$.

If the Tigers took Pavlich instead of Fiora we would of had Pav and Richo and maybe pushed into more finals

You're a good poster, but this gathers steam every year and it is somewhat misleading.
Carman had a good game against North in round 13 that year (4 goals, 11 marks) but he had no influence in round 2 (1 goal).
His games against North 1978 were 2 goal and 1 goal affairs.
In his 15 games against North he only kicked 18 goals with the bag of 4 goals in 77 being his standout return.
