We haven't lost the previous two...SaintPav wrote:won a GF after losing the previous two?
We've gone LDL.
So that's two of the past three.
Sorry for being pedantic but I think it is an important point.

2009 = GF Loss. 2010 = GF Loss.
We have lost the past two GF's, whichever way you look at it. Trying to make yourself feel better with 'but but but but we haven't lost out last two, we drew one!' is embarrassing. Suck it up.

In the context of this thread it's relevant. Compared to Geelong who were smashed in their second Grand Final in '95 and Collingwood who were smashed in '03 we came within one point of winning the flag.Liam_G wrote:Ha.

But more importantly, who cares? We make our own history.

You can live in your doom and gloom world if you like...Me, I will point to the fact that we were a dodgy bounce away from a premiership. Granted we were completely outclassed in the replay. No doubt it leaves a bitter taste in the mouth and it is made worse by the fact that we lost to Collingwood.
But don't throw the baby out with the bathwater. On reflection, we had a very good year given the issues and obstacles we had to face. To make it to another Grand Final was an amazing result. Every year we have a minimum of five interstate trips and play a limited number of games at the 'G. Our GF opponents had (and continue to have) a charmed run with the fixture and a seemingly bottomless pit of money to spend on their football department.
I am still confident that we can bring everything together this season and have a third (or fourth) crack at a flag.
Enjoy your Christmas!

I so desperately want this!! Nothing would be better than taking one back off the Pies! Especially when everyone has already pencilled them in to take it next season! Time to get one for US!!linz wrote:Us.
