I thought I would never get over the 82 loss and the 2013 EF loss against Carlton , but considering where we were at the end of last year and most of us on here thought we were at least another two to three years away from being competitive .I think the rise and triumph of this year has put those losses to rest.
I was talking to Coburg legend CHF Anthony Alessio ( brother of Steve) on GF eve and he said we had it won months ago as he’d never seen a fitter side as ours and nobody would be able to handle 120min of our pressure. He thought game would be over by 3/4 time , but imo he was out by a quarter .
I agreed with him on we would win easily and treated GF day as a celebration with friends and family. People saying we pinched it are clueless and just full of envy.
I remember you telling me this the morning of the grand final, it filled me with a bit more confidence and inspired me to have one more beer.

Agree with you TI that flogs are saying we pinched it ...
Makes me want to go back to back just to shove it sideways
