Well played
A coincidence threat? ....After being beaten by Richmond in a GF in 1967... it took us 40 years to win a GF?

Negative ones?
Last time Western troops fully withdrew from Afghanistan we lost a grand final with aggressive ball movement to a dominant key forward

It was 5 years after the Spanish flu we won our first flag so we might have a little wait ahead of us.
I think I prefer the 2nd one there.
The last time we beat West Coast like that was in 08. was that the hamburger game?
Indeed it was.
135 points was the final margin. In Perth too.

We were at our absolute peak then. The best of 07, with a bit more .
Sadly, we peaked too early

Pies did, and smashed us.
Our H&A game v Hawks was challenging, as was the Doggies prelim.
Dont know if it has anything to do with threatening omens but...
perhaps too many games like the one we just have had against West Coast dulled us ... 18 times we scored 100 or more and never lost if we scored 100. The week before finals we beat the West Coast scoring 24.20
I suspect it was a culmination of players playing sore and being wasteful, almost reckless with our ball use. A degree of arrogance? We always seem to have a heap of points but we would score that much misses didn't seem to matter.
I wonder how we would have gone if there was a week rest before the finals like there is now. I suspect it would have freshened tired bodies

The cats have won every single grand final following an underwhelming performance by meat loaf at the mcg
Here’s a not very good omen.
geelong only wins premierships when channel 10 is covering the game.
back in the day ten and seven used to swap each year. We only won our flags on the years ten had it. When seven had it we failed.

The 1963 GF was televised by Ch7 in the 90s, not sure which channel it was on back in the day, either 7 or the ABC in delay.
Pity. They must of thrown away the video recording as it no longer exists

Seems we've been given the kiss of death here by Damien "get your head around that tigers fans" Barrett. Shame, hope we can do better in 2022
