In the interests of keeping your back and forth shite fights out of match threads so normal people can talk.

Keep it clean and above the shorts
Off topic rubbish clogging up match threads will be moved here, knock yourselves out.

None the comp isnt that weak as it was back then.

Bombers 09 made finals going 10-11 ffs and Cooney was the reigning Brownlow medalist. How shit is that, like for real. I’d be embarrassed winning that flag.

Had to laugh at our old mate Blaisee in the swans GF thread telling all and sundry that the Swans and Cats keep finishing top four due to their home ground advantage.

Now admittedly most - note I said most - of the Tiger posters here are a rung or three up the IQ scale from him but he seems to forget that during their absolute peak, the Tigers went 15-13 - in other words one win above a 50 per cent record - away from the MCG. And of those 15 wins, three of them came against the Suns (17th both times) and the Lions (18th).

Granted what they did afterwards more than justified their finish. No arguments there. It highlights their fixation on other sides and these perceived advantages that everyone else seems to get though

No you wouldn’t. You brag about winning a flag in a season where your own team was defeated by 6 goals plus on 7 separate occasions.

Bro you dont even know how to banter this is saints in 2004 you sound desperate and furthermore it was a 17 round season for everyone and had the GeeCHOKE cats won you would be yelling from the tree tops that you have 5 flags in the AFL era lol lol lol

Anyway leaving it there you gave it your best uneducated shot but came out a loser 😂
 
Watching yesterday, the cats absolutely bottled another chance to win the flag.

Got within a goal to make the GF, then would have steam rolled that Sydney side who can’t play the MCG to save themselves and have a history of choking on the biggest stage.

Brisbane showed the value of a high quality midfield, with hard, speedy runners off the wings, and half forward and back lines.

Maybe we did. GWS did too. Hell, every team in the finals bar Carlton that didn’t end up opposite Sydney probably did.

On the flip side how do we know we wouldn’t have turned up against Sydney and done what we did against them in round 9 or whatever it was: started like a house on fire and then got run down. Holmes probably wouldn’t have played. We would have had to use a back up ruckman more than likely.

Ifs and buts.

lots of classic melt buzzwords here trying desperately to justify a lightning carnival as a flag

I dont mind a spoon after another dynasty. What an amazing ride it was. That you all havn't recovered is the gift that keeps giving. What goes up must come down.

Or maybe it dosnt!

Must be pretty dank in those thoughts!

You guys were Monty’s with an extra weeks break playing on your home deck. Unfortunately your capitulation was similar to GWS the week before and Sydney the week after. All had claims in a week year, but this is one that after the Port final, you’d think the cats would have nabbed.

I actually like your posting as you know but I’ll defer to Fagan on this one.

I agree to some extent with what he said after last week. Having a quiet match against west coast, a week off, a quiet second half against port, and another week off, doesn’t set you up better than having a couple of decent hit outs late in the season, a week off and then the second half against Carlton where they at least put up a fight and then a roller coaster nail biter against GWS.

I don’t have a problem with the weeks off or whatever but I don’t think it gives a team an advantage considering ALL finalists have only just had one.

Like seriously how many teams benefit from a bye in round two of the normal season?

It has nothing to do with us losing but we didn’t get any benefit from it either. In a mini ‘four week comp’ which is effectively what the finals is, no team really ‘needs’ a rest or needs to be fresh unless they are resting players with time dependent injuries

I’m sure Fagan would have preferred to play and win week 1 at home, have a week off and play at home again in week three, than head to NSW in week 2, VIC in week 3 (against a side on a two week break playing at home) then back to Victoria in week 4 to win the flag. On the back of their best player in a moonboot for the majority of the finals series.

Interesting Fagan said that last week, perhaps he was downplaying the difficulty of the above? Let’s see if the narrative changes now he’s won it this way.

The Lions definitely won it the hard way.

Possibly but he’s from the other end of the spectrum too where because of where they finished and who they had to play, and where they’re located, their last three games were interstate

I mean who’s to say that one of the reasons Sydney were so poor isn’t because they went bye, slow start/30 intense minutes vs GWS, week off, easy game leading into yesterday

All conjecture. I do suspect we’d have won and yeah it’s disappointing we did t get to find out but who cares at the end of the day. The two teams that made it earned the right to be there

How many teams who won their last 2 finals by 6 goals+ have Cats beaten in GF's?

If the answer is zero, then I would suggest you don't look at the 2017 and 2020 finals results because you will HATE what you see. :)

lol that’s a thing now is it?

How many teams have you beaten in a grand final who won their prelim by exactly 87 points in those years?

Oh no I just looked at what you said not to look at and I’m so sad, I just hate it

Shock horror: grand final winning team beats team who was in hitherto reasonable form

Let’s knight them
