Honestly, if you have such a lousy memory don't type anything at all.Geelong of 2009 is a shining example - they had no interest in competing for first spot with St Kilda
I always find it curious why St Kilda in 2009 were so keen to win every Home & Away match when that strategy hadn't worked for Geelong the previous year
I just checked the game, and the team you claim were "so keen to win every Home and Away" game played your own mob at Aurora....and RESTED Riewoldt, Hayes, Dal Santo, Fisher, Goddard, Montagna, and others.
So they were playing the reigning premiers and rested enough talent to form the backbone of an entire afl team....and still led at every change and won by plenty.
That's trying to win every game is it ?
Surprised you don't have a more accurate memory of that low point for your own club. Lyon was copping heat for what looked like actively trying to throw games by late 09...and yet you come up with the complete opposite of what actually happened ?
Could you also explain your theory why Geelong wouldn't have wanted top spot in 09. You think they didn't even want to win that famous Rnd 14 game ?
No club being 13-0 is stupid enough to think rnd 14 would be a "must win"....but no chance in hell either Geelong or Saints wouldn't want to win a game with that incredible build up, against the other mob on 13-0, in front of a stadium record crowd that had been booked out for 2 months, and every pub in the country packed out watching it.
V V Strong season was 09.
I don't rate Pies 11 in same league due to losing 3 times to a better team. So to me they weren't even the best team that HnA season.
