Premierships are won by the best team on the day. Hopefully us.

Couldn't be bothered going any further back haha, feel free.

EDIT: Just checked and 2006 didn't follow the pattern...

Yeah that's been the trend for the past nine years

EDIT: Has been the trend since 2002

Nah if you look at 2006, West Coast beat Sydney in H&A then lost to Sydney in Qualifying Final, then beat them in GF

Damn it - I hate omens.... I really hoped we wouldn't get this brought up this week....

Omens dsitract me. Ah well, i'll just pretend I never clicked on the post.

If i didn't read it, it didn't happen.

I love it!

You know, as daunting as Grand Final week is for me.... I mean, it just seems to last forever! It gives us a chance to dream, and regardless of the odds, the "professional" opinions about how the game will be won or lost by either side.... the fact remains we're one of the last two teams left at the business end of the season!

Our boys must find solace in knowing they're being backed all the way! If they go down, we all go down with them! There's no jumping ship or shedding our colours here! We're all there thick and thin! If we win however.... Well, won't that be just something bloody special!! Go you Mighty Saints!!!!

odds against original post continuing.
