I think the loss of Braun and injury to Kerr would push the luck element in favour of the Swans.

I honestly think that if Ball or Kirk or Barry or Hall had the same injury he would have played on. You can call it luck, I call it determination. As Kirk said, "The reason why we won on the weekend is because we play for each other and we bleed for each other." I didn't get that impression from other teams in 2005.

"Braun has a complete rupture of the bicep femeurs tendon where it was torn from the bone" - sure they would have played through that...

"Eagle Daniel Kerr has been cleared of a serious leg injury but will have precautionary X-rays. Kerr hurt his right shin in the opening minutes of the Grand Final."

I think they might have struggled through that one.

As did Kerr, but wasn't playing close to 100%. In a game decided by less than a kick, luck counts for something and Kerr being injured was a bit of luck (as was Braun not playing).

We were very lucky that no Swans players were injured before or during the Grand Final and Eagles players were. I can't believe I ever failed to notice our incredible luck.

You're really struggling with the concept of luck, which is hardly surprising...

Gee, I'm so lucky I read this thread.

[Sanecow]

How lucky was Craig Bolton to have his face smashed in!

How lucky am I to try to involve Sanecow in a discussion when he is the master of the inane.

We really need Kylie Minogue here to enlighten us on the concept of luck.

I just think crap like that is a load of bollocks.

Of course you need a bit of luck to win a flag. You also need to be able to take advantage of it. Had the Weagles won, some of their fans would have been saying it is lucky Nog Ablett has no brain. We are just lucky he didn't kick across the goal twice.

Our biggest piece of luck as regards injuries was not their absence but that Maxfiled had one that kept him out for most of the year.

Sounds like Yuan Hung knew how to pull the babes - a goddess on one arm and a dark lady on the other. Grrrr!

Almost as lucky as the Swans were that Bolton and Ball only received gashes to their heads and didn't hurt their shins. The most amazing good fortune was that a blow to the head didn't affect their games at all.
