team that's shit the bed in three other grand finals over a decade: no there's no way we shat the bed in a grand final

There is always one. Hey swans, we beat every single team in the competition except the Cats, we had the wood over you from 2015 onwards, that’s not the umpires.

The easton wood ... for added salt

This was posted on the AFL reddit and a Swans fans commented:

The miracle of blind umpires. Taking pride in this is so utterly cringeworthy.

I guess if you have nothing, you’ll grind out the worst umpired GF of this century and try to make out that that team deserved it.

Good on you.

They're still so salty about it lol

At least they have progressed from a blatantly corrupt AFL to mere blind umpires.

Some might have Toby leaping on the back of Toyd or as their greatest GF memory but mine will always be Wood courageously and ferociously attacking the contested ground ball while Hannebery stood there looking down at it waiting for something to happen. Sums up the game really.

The way Wood, Morris, Picken and Matty Boyd were attacking the ball was almost suicidal. Those older generation Bulldogs were built different. We really peaked at the right time with those guys in the twilight of their careers mixed with the young blood that had just emerged. I will never, ever forget Easton Wood's rev ups before each finals game. He looked downright maniacal. Do we win the flag if Murph was fit and Captaining? We'll never know. But I've never seen a player look like they were going into an actual battle more than Wood did before those games.
