Would have been but the ASADA/WADA crap destroyed that. We all know the reason why the players did not perform this season. They were mentally stuffed by the WADA appeal not that Hird could not coach. Considering what he and the team put up with over the last few years it wasn't bad. Not even Hawthorn's coach Clarkson could have done better this season. The end result would have been the same. Total disaster.
I was at all those games. The 2nd Semi was so exciting cos that's when the shock hit us that we were likely to win the flag. I remember being dumbfounded in glee! . . not only were we back in a Grand Final again, but red hot favourites.

+Teunis Swart HOW was your ANZAC day champ?
Mad doco!
where's part 2 ?
I don't want to spoil it for you but Collingwood wins...
Essendon were paid from the afl to throw that match because they needed revenue from Collingwood fans after the disastrous 1989 season
Where did you get that info from?
so true.
