Still giving us nothing...'cept Cups and Medals

Just watched the ‘69 GF on Foxtel
Always good to beat Carlton
Walls was a sniper even at that stage but Sheedy was onto him
The late Mike Bowden played well as did most of his team mates
Great memories

A feud that continued for a long time that one between Sheedy and Walls
 
I recall post '17 it was reported that our Finals series was the most dominant by any side since '00 Bombers. Ppl carry on like we'd won all of our finals by under a kick...
We won our 2019 finals by 155 points. We won our 2017 finals by 135 points. Us then daylight. Let the other think what they want, the reality is right there in scores.

If any other club did those numbers.
It would be mentioned every time they would be playing.

Finished top 3 the last 3 years, and qualified for 3 straight prelims, and won 2 flags with extremely dominant displays. That’s pretty damn good by anyone’s standard.
Only team to make the Prelim stage in the last 3 yrs. 10 more wins than anyone else over the last 3 yr. The whingeing suggests we have worn them down.

They'll be filling nursing homes in the future, rocking back & forward on thier chairs repeatedly muttering "7 MCG games" to themselves... #GoTiges!

What ppl don't realise about that prelim, we also missed shots in the 2nd, so while we could have & should have been further down at 1/2 time we also could have & should have been closer at 1/2 time. In the end them kicking 2 goals in the 2nd half is what undid them, nobody ever wins Finals doing that!

Except for Collingwood against Geelong last year :).

I think WCE are a good example of a team that doesn't whinge and got the job done. Whatever you think of WCE that was a cracking GF win in 2018 against a team at their home ground.

You missed the word “brave”

We would've beaten them.
And if we were up by 29 pts (like Collingwood was) we would've slapped them.
If there's one flk up in these last 3 glory years, it was losing to Collingwood.
Ive never seen a team lose a GF and get so much praise out of it.
They were up by 5 goals on there home deck and still found a way to lose.

Also people often forget but with the scores level at three-quarter time, they come out and kicked the first two goals of the last quarter in the first two minutes.
I remember thinking then it looked all over.
And they were never actually five goals up. :)
 
On my scale over the past 20 odd years we sit on the second rung, below Hawthorn, Geelong and Brisbane. We need one more flag to reach that level.

I'd have that Essendon side on the next rung down, probably standing alone with other single premiership sides below them.

tend to agree with Hawks, cats and lions. Curious to know what their win - loss was like over the three years compared to ours?

Never realised Geelong was that dominate. Lucky enough for Scotty to bring them back to the pack.

Out of the 18 loses
Theres the freo, footscary and GWS loses.
All should've been wins. We are closer to 80%.
Plus the other teams on that list didn't have to put up with rule changes and new clubs screwing up the draft.
We have done really well.
I once saw a "stat" cant remember what team, maybe port or stkikda had won 70% of there games in the last 5 years, but never made a GF.
Wins are most important later in the year.
Imagine if Collingwood was sitting on a 14 game winning streak.
The media wouldn't shut the **** up, Buckley would be king.
I can honestly say, i haven't **** about our winning streak this year.
Maybe they will wait till we lose.
