They struggled to kick consecutive goals too, umpires helped them immensley
Our performance in that game is very underappreciated. We had one A-grader in Buckley and a few soldiers in Rocca, Burns, Clement and Prestigiacomo take on Voss, Black, Lappin, Akermanis, Lynch, Michael, Power, Leppitsch and so on, many players who were elite in their respective positions, and we finished 10 points away from winning the premiership. Buckley's ability as player and leader was simply amazing.

Port should be last. Getting belted by 20 goals in the GF and beating WCE with Judd severely injured and Cousins going down wasn't exactly stirring stuff. Sydney 2014 who topped the ladder should no way be last or even WCE 2015 who beat the hawks in week 1 and Freo in 2013 who toppled Geelong at Geelong.

Also I will add that the Lions should have had a home prelim instead of travelling to Melbourne to take on Geelong with that bs MCG rule? If that's the case and I believe it was, the Lions you would think would have had a far greater chance of winning that 2004 flag.

It's actually one of the more simple games to rehash for Cats fans.
Kick straight and win, don't kick straight and lose.
We didn't, so we lost.

At half time when Mooney missed that goal, one of my Geelong mates turned to me and said ‘we are done’. Very true.

Geelong didn't kick straight but we had a heap of rushed points. Also if we did kick a goal instead of a point, it changes everything. Who's to say we would have kept missing? The ball goes back to the centre square obviously and every single passage of play changes. It's not as though we were in a winning position and blew it. We got smoked in that 3rd quarter with 5-10 minutes of blistering football which is the best in a grand final, or any game that I have witnessed. Dew snapping majors, Rioli taking on and hunting down multiple Geelong players like a pitbull in the best and most inspirational tackle I've ever seen.
We were the best team throughout the year, but not the best team in the finals and certainly not on Grand final day.

Brisbane had a swathe of injuries that game. They were ripe for the plucking.
why? they made the grand final anyway.

Exactly. Imo Port 07 would've beaten any of the Sydney, Freo, West Coast, Adelaide Grand Final sides.

good rankings.
Dew aside, the rest of the hawks managed to match Geelong poor football in every way. Outside dew it was a fairly poor standard game.
It was the surprise result when it seemed the whole footy media had one result in mind which was the drama

Notorious inferiority complexed geelong fan in Benny78 , you must have seen his work.
Ofcourse all 3 of Hawthorns 3peat is bottom 3... no mention of Port 2007 being miles worse, also yes Sydney 2014 was an incredible side that performed horribly on the day. Known idiot troll OP is.

On reflection I’d probably have Collingwood 11 higher. They only lost 2 home and away games.
I thought they were unlucky not to have won in 2007, bad kicking (Dank)and the umpiring(f/s rule) robbed them of achieving what nearly everyone else has done to Geelong in previous Grand Finals..

Agree with those saying Saints 09.
Those two mobs in 09 gave us the strongest GF matchup i can recall in recent memory. Possibly ever. If it was better weather it may have been as good as their amazing rnd 14 clash...which was the greatest build up to a single game i can recall as well. Even in the greasy conditions the 09 GF was still magnificent.
Pinnacle of that great Geelong team, coz they needed to be truly great....and far and away their best flag.
