Shall we even these so-called LUCKY events out against being extremely UNLUCKY in 1997 when the following occured -Originally posted by NMWBloods
Injuries to two of the key West Coast midfielders for the GF.
The SF win over Geelong. - lucky that Davis kicked the goal with seconds left, lucky Geelong had injuries.
Virtually no major long-term injuries to the Swans.
1. The King (Paul Kelly) doing his knee in Round 17 against Port Adelaide when the Swans were flying at 12 wins/4 losses and Kelly was killing em' throughout the season
2. Lockett, Schwass and Cresswell all sustaining injuries towards the end of the season that made them either below there best or out the team thus robbing the Swans of midfield strength and a key forward
3. Adelaide winning the flag from fifth after losing there first final and playing against injury-riddled teams the likes of Sydney and St.Kilda.
In my opinion, 1997 was the year that slipped through our hands via a combination of UNLUCKY events, whereas 2005 was the year that was meant to be through a combination of LUCKY events.Well somebody told me, You had a boyfriend, Who looks like a girlfriend,That I had in February of last year, It's not confidential, I've got potential
Somebody told me, The Killers, Hot Fuss, 2004.Comment

Actually, you are correct. It was 1998 that all the events mentioned happened, not 1997. I am still so delirious from the events of this year that the previous years seem all as one heap of dissapointments.....Originally posted by NMWBloods

I thought that may have been the case, but I sometimes get the two years confused. As I recall though, we had a bad start to '97 too with Stafford being injured and missing much of the pre-season. Still, I think our dismal finish in '97 may have been our own fault.Originally posted by cressakel

Princess Diana was buried that same night, and I split up with the ex-wife during that week. It is a week I would rather forget but it just isn't possible.

Forget about luck. How many times have you heard a racing scribe say a horse was unlucky last or ran without luck, then pick it to win, and it doesn't.

This thread named a 'one of the great sporting debates' by SMH (sort of)...
SauceA MAJOR review of the AFL's reporting and tribunal system has done little to settle one of the great sporting debates: whether Swans full-forward Barry Hall was lucky to escape a suspension that would have kept him out of the grand final - and perhaps cost the Swans their historic flag.Comment

According to this definition from the same article he still would have got off;He was regarded as an option to receive the ball, and if a senior AFL player can't kick 30 metres (which is about the distance Barry was from the ball), they shouldn't be playing.As part of a series of changes for 2006, the definition of "behind play" has been altered to incidents that do not occur "within close proximity to the ball or occurs at a location which could not reasonably be regarded as an option for the delivery of the ball".Does God believe in Atheists?Comment

Furthermore, they've downgraded the activation points for the in-play / behind the play designation, meaning that even if the incident had been deemed to be behind the play he would get the same number of points for that incident in 2006 that he finally landed up with in 2005.Originally posted by goswannie14
