By that logic why not include everything we achieved before 1958 (13 flags)

It’s only some of our supporters who are fragile mentally. Not this team.
Ok me being proud was more a reflection of how amazingly they performed that year. But gosh they were not fragile mentally, unless you equate losing with mental fragility.
History shmistory. Prior to this week we had won one final against Melbourne in 86 years (and lost 14).
This current group has something special about them.

Or West Coast elite huge forwards were simply to much for the Pies smaller defenders. They couldn't be stopped and it was a direct plan to get those 2 towers kick goals that got them the lead... the interference on Maynard not being called is also a huge heart breaker... if it was the way around, it would have been called for sure.

To be fair, the MCG was full of a lot more love for Carlton winning than what it was for GWS winning.

And GWS has won more finals in 6 years than Carlton has in 15 years. Carlton prob just played their GF and celebrated like it.
Yes it’s actually barely larger than the SCG.
Maybe why they struggle on a real ground.
Unlike Carlton supporters, our confidence is more realistic, given we’re already in the last 4 standing.
Mind you, prefer we keep a lid on it for now. Get the job done first that’s ahead of us. Then we can take the lid off and enjoy grand final week!
Carlton's AFLW team very nearly held scoreless. Such a shame.
Oh wow…

I keep reading that Brisbane don't play the MCG well and checked the dimensions of the ovals:
Gabba 166 metre x 148 metres playing surface
MCG 171 x 146 metres, from fence to fence. The boundary line measures five metres from the fence.
If one deduct 5 metres it makes the MCG 166 x 142 therefore narrower than Gabba? What is the issue?

Its a Qlnd family crowd thing. I thought it was cringe initially but when the whole crowd was singing country road the other night I thought fair enough. Sounds like theyre having a ball. They do the Frozen song and I bet you it brings kids in through the gates.

Yeah, i'm not a fan, on the TV it sounds so loud, I can't imagine what it would sound like at the ground.
If we play them again this year, maybe we should play it backwards after our goals, it might deduct one of their goals off them.
Apparently it's the goal kickers favourite song, the Frozen song gets played after Danihers goals, maybe he has a daughter or son, at least i hope.

Different conditions usually, crowd is a different animal, & mentally it seems to be a bit of a hurdle. The Gabba is shorter, which suits their fwd line and it’s love of sneaking out the backI keep reading that Brisbane don't play the MCG well and checked the dimensions of the ovals:
