They are about as South Melbourne as Brisbane is Fitzroy.

Extremely bias historic write up there. There was just a much controversy with Barry's mark in the GF (with two clear frees missed to Judd and Sampi) as you claim there was in the other "Controversial" Eagles win.
Not exactly, the whole South Melbourne club moved north and became the Sydney Swans whereas Brisbane was an existing club which swallowed up Fitzroy as well. They call it a "merger" but realistically it was just a convenient way to get rid of the Roy boys.
Back on topic, this was my favourite WCE v SYD game and certainly not unattractive at all:
lol at the Annotations on screen after Micky O kicked the winning goal!!!

My favourite WCE/Sydney game was a couple of weeks later.
LOL at the score at the end of the game.

Rather watch cricket and soccer than 05-06 Grand Finals.
Looking forward so much to next week's game - should be an absolute belter.
A credit to both clubs we're both back up there and abouts while so many other clubs have bungled along over the same time.

Off you go then.
I never liked watching swans games and i dont look forward to next week, even though i'm confident we'll win. The game will be locked down, scrappy, flooded and the natural talent and flair of our best players like cox, nicnat and kerr wont be on show. The highlights video will be 30 seconds long and consist mostly of set shots at goal.
Sydney are a bit different now when they arent under Roos (not that they were doing anything wrong before.) Still a bit tough and close quarter-like, but also alot more free flowing. have alot more run from defense as well.
Shhhh, let him learn first hand.
I like it that most people shun Sydney and as such have no real idea of what our game is like at the moment.

Sydney have the right style of play to beat us soundly at the moment.
Critical we hammer their outside runners (namely Jetta) and constrict their spread from stoppages early, because they can be such a fast starting team.

You've gotta be kidding me. A Melbourne supporter telling us that the 05 and 06 GFs were shit football. You've been watching your team play shit football for so long now I think it has affected your perspective.
so many awesome matches, i remember i thought the rivalry would drop off after 2006
then 2007 came and BOOM! daniel kerr tackle to win the game for west coast
rd 16, cousins returns and sets subiaco alight with 38 touches and eagles win by a couple of goals

What has supporting Melbourne and Jack Watts got to do with this thread ? I'm just stating a preference
for fast open footy , not boring grind-fests . And you're right Melbourne are awful to watch at the moment , but football in cyclical , it's the nature of the beast .

Once again , what has this got to do with the price of eggs ?
Yep how boring was Judd, Cousins, Kerr, Cox - those guys played such unattractive footy.
Funny how 06 is called boring. Scoreline was 85-84 - and both sides had halves on dominance kicking 8 goals in a half.
07 GF. Excitement plus that one, biggest flogging ever in a GF.
08 GF. Geelong only manage 89 - a whole 5 points more than those boring eagles and swans.
09 GF. Both sides scored less than swans and eagles in 06. But they were Vic so it was exciting tough footy.
10 GF. Awesome draw! Both sides only manage 68 points. Wow. Go Vics!
11 GF. 6 goal win. Edge of the seat stuff.
