As posted elsewhere, I had my doubts on our capacity to flick the switch; I was keeping the faith but was concerned and shaking like a French soldier for most of Sunday.
Alas, to those saying suck up the nerves, you were right and we of little faith were needlessly concerned!
It wasn't particularly pretty, but I'm rapt we kept them to just 7 goals, verging on doubling their score, and really should have made much more of our chances. It was probably a genuine 40 + point win. Roo was absolutely epic. The effort was massively back and that is the key.
Shame we can't play at the G.

Hell yeah, it was bloody great!

Cheers.
cloke had 17 kicks
swan had 15
shaw and johnson had 11 each
we play possession football.
if we have it . . .then they dont and they cant score. . .
very happy with the win . . .especially as most experts were predicting a collingwood win.

Simply Remarkable
Any win in a final is a MAGNIFICENT win! As in golf, it's not how, it's how many that counts. One point or a hundred. Makes no difference. We're in sight of the big dance and that's all that matters.
I started with nothing and I've got most of it left!

HARDEN the f**k up sunshine! Were the Cats at their best when they beat the Dogs?
After back-to-back losses and an unconvincing win against the Demons, the media were dubbing us a having lost our mojo and being a spent-force as we go into our first final against the Pies who are apparently the team to beat come September and play the MCG to a tee whereas we apparently can't play it.
Yet we won one of the biggest finals in our history! We won and our win was well deserved!
Perhaps it wasn't a great win for you Crocka....(sad?)
seeing you predicted we would be ....out in straight sets a couple of times after suggesting that the loss to the Dons was "our most embarrasing ever"
I rest my case Starsign and Co.
Once again - it's like Minardi 'doing over' Ferrari
Out in straight sets Sad
Not baiting - just venting OK
Perhaps you don't know to much about this footy club at all ??
Now that is "Sad"
and as I mentioned to you before if your not a troll you give a good impression of one

Yes that is right, we need to have that high percentage at the end of Round 26 incase another team is level with us in win and losses, and of course we have the bye next week
It could have better... we could have won by less, and it could have been a GF.
1- we beat the filth
2- it was great to see Tosser siiting there like he'd sucked lemons. Where was the jacket?
3- we beat the filth
4- we beat Eddiewood
5- we beat the most over rated and hyped up club.
Yep, it WAS THAT GOOD!

There comes a point in every man's life when he has to say, "Enough is enough." For me, that time is now. I have been dealing with claims that I cheated and had an unfair advantage in <redacted>. Over the past three years, I have been subjected to a <redacted>investigation followed by <redacted> witch hunt. The toll this has taken on my family, and my work for <redacted>and on me leads me to where I am today – finished with this nonsense. (Oops just got a spontaneous errection <unredacted>)
It was also good that we followed our standard template - start slow, let them get ahead early, then throttle the life out of them for the next three quarters.
Blindly delusional optimist. Fan of the Blake.

Joffa boy - what were the betting odds on Sunday - so they had no idea as well? 3 crap games deserved their 'straight sets' tag. We don't all sleep under red, white and black quilts.
Nearly 11000 posts - pretty good effort. Got a tattoo as well?
Copped heaps with the 'straight sets' at work - ah well - you dish it out you gotta take it.
Whilst I agree that the win was rather amazing, i do think the original poster does kinda have a point..
my only problem with our game was the players effeciency when going up forward... a number of kicks went to the goal square with no saints players around and a few that should have been taken weren't...
but hell! the goal sqaure is generally a good option ...
and most importantly we won!
