Adelaide hands down ..2017
Carlton 99 if you mean from the season as whole.
On the day, can't go past Port in 07. But that Port 07 side wasn't the worst team of the list of R/Ups. Just came up against one of the better premiers of the era. Wasn't too different a side that won the 04 GF a few years earlier.
But if i had to select a side from that list that you think were lucky to make the GF, Carlton 99 for me.
The AFL $wans were terrible in 2014 and 2016.
I agree with this.Port 07 weren't terrible. Had a very bad day and Geelong went into complete God mode.
But you lost cousins and Judd in/just before the finals didn’t you?Still Port 2007. Was a weak year overall with Port and West Coast 2nd & 3rd on 15 wins and North 4th on 14. Magnified by the record margin on GF day. 2007 wasn't the peak for Geelong, but it was the biggest gap they had to anyone else within a season.
I reckon at full strength we were the second best if not best team that year but faltered after the half way mark. Geelong would've made light work of us in the GF just as they did Port with the side we had on the park.
Port in 2007 also lost to the bottom placed Carlton away..... Let that sink in.That however also means that Port were 7-7 against the bottom 10. I don't know the numbers for other Grand Finalists in recent times but on the face of it that is a poor record. As stated before, Port were closer to eighth spot than to the top of the ladder in 2007.
Well your mob lost to them in the 2002 QF and 2003 Prelim.Go look at the Collingwood side from 02/03 and tell me that isn’t the weakest. Other than Buckley it’s a godawful side
If we’re the weakest premier ever in 2018 according to Tigers supporters, how s**t were Richmond last year? Absolutely pantsed them in the prelim.
Got within a goal and had a lead most of the game, real terrible opposition.
This is the only post where Pies supporters aren't claiming the number one position, best midfield forward line etc - fact is they are the weakest in this case.
Maybe one of them can tells us when the last side lost GF after being 31pts in front. Hate rehashing old history but how about 1970 - guess who?
Adelaide 2017.
Simply because they lost to the weakest Premiership team in the last 20 years.
Our top 16 in both years were perfectly capable. The bottom 6 both times around killed us.Go look at the Collingwood side from 02/03 and tell me that isn’t the weakest. Other than Buckley it’s a godawful side
Lol also fake. 2002 were the much stronger Grand Final side, albeit ahead of the curve so not lauded by the media and blown up the way 2003 was.Well your mob lost to them in the 2002 QF and 2003 Prelim.
Collingwood of 2003 was a much stronger side in 2002.
While one Wakelin twin, played for Port, the other played for Collingwood. Both twins were goo defenders. James Clement was a good defender too.
Nathan Buckley was the main midfielder but Paul Lucuria was decent too.
Anthony Rocca and Chris Tarrant were the 2 main key forwards. Rocca got suspended for that stupid elbow on Brendon lade in the 2003 prelim.
Leon Davis and Alan Didak were the 2 small forwards.
The GF we should have had in 2007 was Geelong vs a fully fit West Coast.
Geez glad you like PF wins more than GF wins
Go pies 27 times runner up in GF's, works for me
The shitty weather meant the Hawks werent 6-7 goals up half time like they should have. You'd have been thumped like we were in 2015 in clear weather.Who TF voted Freo 2013? We weren't great but **** me we performed better than the Hawks next two opponents in their dynasty.
Our two halves, however, were chalk and cheese
First half - yes
Second half - no
you are probably right had the wind died down, Hawks could of kicked 15 or 16 goals easily rather than 11.The shitty weather meant the Hawks werent 6-7 goals up half time like they should have. You'd have been thumped like we were in 2015 in clear weather.
