While I think the Phil Walsh tragedy was huge I felt both 2005/06 finals were our best shot.
We had beaten Sydney in all 3 games we played against them in 5/6 - so Roo getting suspended then St Kilda choke meant we sat on the Eagle side of the draw and with 3/4 losses we struggled.
Tippetgate - while the sanctions hurt we actually bounce back ok - what really affected us was the puppy dog surrender by the club.
Making up our own sanctions, keeping staff who were culpable and not fighting back was when we became meek in the eyes of the AFL and we became fodder.
This attitude still persists with the club
