Sydney didn’t turn up and we still had Walsh. We’d of won.

No.

Contradicting yourself much?

By definition he’d be a premiership winning coach. I’ve said many times 2014 was more Walsh then Hinkley.

Not sure it was “AFL designated” either.

 

[RussellEbertHandball]

Yeah agree with this. We chronically struggled with Sydney at that point. The question is would Sydney have not shown up against us in the same way they didnt show up against Hawthorn?

Hawks physically smashed Sydney in the first half and the game was over at half time. We wouldn't have gone about it that way. Sydney showed up but the Hawks were brutal on them. We didn't play a physical brand of footy in 2014. We just ran hard.

Hawks took out Hannebery in the first few minutes. He was their best midfielder at that time. It was all down hill from there.

Talent hasn't been the issue for a number of years now.

If Hinkley does ever get us there (with the right mix in the box around him) my reaction would be: about ******* time old mate! rather than cupping his balls.

Logs into Big Footy for the first time in a long time 'Cupping his balls'...... Good to see nothings changed!

 

[Marmozet]

Saying we would have beaten Sydney in 2014 is like saying Collingwood would have beaten us in 2007.

Sydney didn’t necessarily play bad on the day. Hawthorn just played very well and smashed them and Sydney couldn’t match them physically.

I don’t see us doing to Sydney what Hawthorn did.

They would have.

2007 Collingwood do not beat us

Yet Sydney 2014 would?

 

[NoddyHolder]

Let's play hypothetical grand final madness

2001-03 Ports would have beaten all the hawkthorn premiership teams

When do we get to pick up the flags?
Can they be delivered by troy chaplin in a dimly lit players race?

 

[Jonts]

For the record I'm more confident of us beating a Buckleyless Collingwood in 07 than i am against Sydney in 14

Yep. That Collingwood team is massively over rated because they got close to Geelong in the prelim. Geelong simply had a shocker that night and Collingwood played beyond themselves. Have a reasonable Collingwood supporter mate who reckons Port would have creamed Collingwood if they got to the GF.

 

[edgie]

Collingwood thumped Geelong too in 2008. They just matched up alright against them for a while there.

well, if only the pies got the job done in 07. How different things might have been.

 

[Marmozet]

Didn't they also have no ruckman? Lade and Brogan would have had a field day.

 

[Janus]

Adelaide beats anyone but Richmond in 2017.

West Coast doesn’t beat Richmond in 2018.

That’s why premierships have an element of luck to them.

Speaking of which - don’t be surprised if Melbourne winds up being another Bulldogs circa Rodney Eade...continually making prelims but never winning one.

That's because you're 12

If it's 40 degrees in the middle of nowhere any ice cold beer is doable I guess I can't believe people actually drink s**t like West End when there are options however.

I would have thought they would have stopped making it by now. Do they still sell that Eagle Blue shyt there ?
I remember a mate giving me a can many many years ago at a party.
After that he was demated
