I’d play devils advocate here and say I actually think that we aren’t even in the same league as the earlier examples you’ve brought up.
2019 … easy draw no one saw us coming
2020…. Pfft we never left seq…. We weren’t even that good.
2021 …. Last 30 seconds we beat a depleted west coast team...
having more time to think about this and understanding the difficulties some of my friends have had at getting pregnant eg: going through ivf for 3 years and paying $30,000 plus to have a child and maybe the last thing on your mind if that’s how your partner falls pregnant is the AFL finals...
Is that all that was out during the finals?
How about
Hipwood
Rayner
McStay first 5 mins of qual final reducing us to one tall fwd
Lost Payne first 5 mins v Dogs (McStay replacement up forward)
Lost berry during the match and so down one rotation in the midfield and only lost by a point.
Really? I rate them … I love how they flew under the radar last 10 rounds and just booked a home prelim without any major injury concerns.
I have it now as
Port
Demons
Lions
Geelong
with the results so far
Bit of a stretch to include Rayner he hasn’t played all season. His main attributes were goal assists which Cockatoo recently has been providing with.
Hipwood big loss.
Port finishing top 2 gives me more confidence in them.
I think Geelong have a good team just wonder if the ageing bodies can win three finals in a row inc the granny, 4 if they lose first week.
Dees have the talent only question mark is finals pressure against teams of similar calibre.
GWS and...
Since the final 8 was introduced the team thats lost the qualifying final and taken on the same opponent in the grand final has won it.
Brisbane 2003
Sydney 2005
West coast 2006
Hawks 2015.
If lions win tomorrow .... that stat will be haunting me all week.
Collingwood. For the fact I admire how the club has risen time and time again and done the right things to rebuild and given themselves a shot. 02/03... 10/11 and 2018 and potentially 2019. The other team I admire for doing similar but over longer time is West Coast. :thumbsu::thumbsu::thumbsu:
