Autopsy 2015 Eagles vs 2005 Swans

[javaguice]

Who wins... All things considered?

Have been drinking so I haven't broken down the teams.... but would last year's eagles knock off a lesser team in the GF?

I reckon the team could beat any other non Vic team at the G.

Food for thought (subway). does beating a non Vic team detract from the 06 eagles if , hypothetically, the 2016 Eagles win the cup and the teams are compared?

More importantly, who's our current day Rowan Jones?

Ok then.... is a premiership against a non vic team easier than one against a vic team?

Yes.

I rank the Brisbane 3peat higher than the Hawks based on them travelling and beating 3 vic teams.

Hawks have essentially had 3 home games vs interstate teams.

In regards to this i would suggest however that in none of the lions premiership years were they the dominant side in the home and away season. Port were clearly the best home and away side in 2003, i would have rated the bombers of 2001 as good as or better than the lions and probably only in 2002 i would have rated the lions the best home and away side and port still won 1 more game than them. The only year i would have rated them potentially the best home and away side was 1999 and they didnt make the grand final. They got to the prelim and looked completely overawed against an extremely experienced Kanga's side that end up winning it all. The game was very much like us vs the hawks in the grand final last year.

Looking back on that era i think essendon seriously underperformed and really should have won at least 2 and possibly 3 premierships from 99-01 and port very clearly choked in the finals in 02 and 03.
