did the crowd of invaders cost us

[Furphy]

We'll obviously never know, but I reckon if we won we would have gone on to win it.

We would have been massive underdogs and the Lions would have probably taken us lightly.

I reckon we would have got done like a dinner by Brisbane. They absolutely owned us that year. Both times we played them we were on the wrong ends of royal hidings.

2005 was the Grand Final we needed to make. The Eagles were ripe for the picking.

Are you kidding? The way Brisbane played in the '04 GF they wouldn't have beaten the Ettamogah Pub Footy social club.

I agree. I thought the Lions weren't the same team as 2001-2003. Probably makes losing the Prelim even worse.

So many of the Lions players were carrying injuries. I can recall reading that the medical team had used an exceptional amount of pain killing jabs to get many players on the field. Yep I'm sure we would have beaten them had we got over Port.

Maybe the stoopid Saints supporters aren't to be blamed for running onto the oval and halting our demolition quarter on Port..................... maybe, just maybe, we should sheet the blame onto - the G Train - for kicking 100 goals

Good point Loris. G should have kicked his hundredth on the quarter time siren. Wouldn't have interrupted the game that way.

Can I just ask this wee question; just WHAT is the point of the OP? I mean for God's sake it was TEN ( yes! TEN!) years ago just what is the point of whinging and bitching about what MIGHT have been? Could this sort of thinking be at the root of our ( perceived) " cultural " issues?

don't like the op....go elsewhere ffs... ...you're the one whinging......typical though...

Wonder if Bake's old man joined the on-field invasion when Milney brought up his ton for Strathfieldsaye today in their Premiership win?
