Eagles fans and alot of other fans suggest that with their list they should have done better. No one has denied those events didn't happen. Not sure what point your making?
Stating obvious.Alot fail to acknowledge those facts or mention them you might be one of a few.
Its a common theme amongst eagle fans
Who disputes this?
7 games at optus stadium in a row leading in the finals would be nice
Sure but only if you also play the GF there.
Not this era. 2018 was a bonus. Based on the years surrounding it and how hard we tried to blow it we were lucky.
What Eagles obsession?
Totally wrong.
2019: should've beaten Collingwood at home, losing to Richmond in Rd 22 was a massive 8 point game for final ladder positions, should've beaten Hawthorn at home in Rd 23 who had nothing to play for (top 2 spot already off limits by that point, top 4 wasn't)
Another big thing is i think as a club some of our best seasons we have just run out of steam at the end. We made a prelim in 2011 however i thought we were a hugely better side in 2012 for most of it, 2019 after being 3-3 the club pushed too hard to try and catch up, put every last bit we had and came up short against Richmond in round 22 and had nothing left. 90 as a young side after a year of travel we were cooked after drawing against collingwood in the qualifying final, 91 again as a very young side we were dominant before falling away at the end of the season and lost the grand final to last hurrah of one of the greatest sides of all time in conditions perfectly suited to them, 96 again dominant early before falling away as well as foul to the finals fixturing at the time. 2016 we likely wouldn't have made it however without the bye before finals the dogs weren't going past round 1 missing 5 of their best players.
2007 got away?
Due to being nowhere near fully fit. The other big thing is it would have meant Geelong going into a grand final against an opponent which had just played in the last two as opposed to a one year pop up that played their grand final against you in the H+A.
You couldn't get past semi
Another question O-man, seeing as you refused to answer my last, lest you make yourself look the fool yet again: Who's more oppressed do you reckon? West Coast or Geelong?
Loool have a sook how about you answer and address the facts you fail to acknowledge.
Mate what you on about bit of luck that is excuses, injuries and so on.You had no excuses last 2 years fullstop.No one derailed the thread I posted a genuine post that I believe is the reason why you under achieved.
Nothing to do with skill in the team. To do with management of the club and the team being very poor
Might be on your board , but I'm telling you on the main board very few do.As you can see here now some living in fairyland could off and should off.
Team is not poor plenty of talent there , but some aging stars like every club .I reckon mentally bit weak and strange considering how they won that 2018 gf.
Management of both the club and management of the team I meant. Won in 2018 and then coaches/management didn't push for the players to win again
With Judd having OP and a Torn Abductor muscle, Cousins with a hamstring and Kerr injured as well. We got ruined by injuries at the wrong time of the year. Mind you even with all those injuries if we hadn't given up a miracle 8 goal quarter in the final round of the season to Scott Lucas we would have won a qualifying final in Perth giving 2 weeks rest rather than losing by 3 points to Port.
were missing literally our three best players and still pushed it into extra time
7 games at the MCG leading into the finals in 2019
