Beat me to it.
Yes, Tiges beat us in a few relatively meaningless H&A games in that era, but put our best team of 12-15 against the Tiges of 17-20 in a final, and especially a GF, we beat them by 6 goals+....
Even 2 flags in 3 years doth not a ‘dynasty’ maketh. It’s a good period of success.
Winning at least one flag every single decade, without fail, since the 50s, now THAT’S a dynasty.
Gee look, a post on big footy full of astronomical levels of Hawk-envy, and people desperately turning themselves inside out in attempting to belittle our achievements. Knock me over with a feather, who would’ve thunk it?
Interesting stat: 4 Geelong players, the umpy's trinity plus Kelly, had 17 frees between them. Our entire team, 22 players, had 19 all up. The hold they have over the unholy trinity in green is astonishing.
Yep, it starts from the top down and seeps through and infects and affects the entire culture of the whole club. Coach and captain. They weren’t as bad under bomber. Danger wasn’t like that at the Crows. But it becomes part of the entire approach. It becomes an unstoppable habit, almost every...
I would love to read one, just one, completely honest answer in this thread about us: "i hate Hawthorn because they are just too damn successful and I'm jealous out of my mind about it."
But I don't suppose I will, it has not started well. We've had "I hate Hawthorn because I don't like their...
They remind me of us in '09, went absolutely all out to win a surprise flag, suffered horrendous injuries (although ours were still worse in 09, especially coupled with premature, injury-driven retirements of our number 1 ruckman and only good key defender), and came back to earth.
Maybe they...
Pickett on Krummell and Lloyd on Sewell, was there for both. Both weak, gutless cowardly acts. In both incidents the ball was the very very last thing on the perpetrator's mind, they ran directly at an unprotected player's head and pre-meditatedly took them out. And both made worse by the fact...
The AFL are no cleanskins, that's for sure. But on a world scale of fully professional, high profile sporting leagues, they would be one of the least corrupt.
Mate you could probably count the number of Bay posts that I've made in more than a decade on one hand. We're too busy counting flags. 13 in 90 years is still way way way way way better than 9 in 118............
Premierships are the very reason players play the game. 1 premiership>>>>>>>>>>>>>9,874, 499 Brownlows and 14,567,379 Normies.
4 Premierships (1 as captain)>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>3 premierships and NSMs and Brownlows to the power of infinity.
I never post in here, come in on occasion for shits and giggles. But reading some of the Swans crap from July 14 makes me think this is the greatest bump in the history of BF.
