@@@@ was that one of the worst marking attempts ever seen!?!

He was interviewed on the Grand Final Parade and he seemed like he was on another planet.

If only the ump awarded the free kick to Doylie for being tackled without the ball after spoiling Cousins instead of it going to Cousins & the ensuing 50.

I think it is clear that you never play a McVeigh in their first grand final if you are going for back to back.

Mark - 2001 Essendon...Brisbane start their hatrick of Premierships.

Jarrod - 2006 Sydney - West Coast finally nab one....

So...my 'if only' is "if only Jarrod was left out of the team"..

I think it is better to blame karma or islamic fundamentalists or the American Right Wing, just something I can hate until the footy starts again next year.

I'm pretty sure ours spells his name Jarrad.

A bit harsh on him, though. I felt sad for him and Malceski after they were both so desperate to play in a GF after missing out last year. What a horrible way for their first GF to end. Eski just continued on the way he's been going all year, but McVeigh was OK too, I thought.

I hate 'if only' threads. They only end up making us all feel worse that we lost. Yes, it sucks, but it happens. West Coast deserved a premiership too. Their forward line might not be great, but they finally proved that they are a champion team like us, too.

Though, feel free to blame anything/anyone that takes your fancy, if it makes you feel better.

I'd take my post as fairly tongue in cheek there! If I truly thought that was the reason we lost the Grand Final, I'd have myself locked up!!!

True, everyone knows it was an American right-wing conspiracy. The eagle isn't their national bird for nothing.

if only we won the toss & ran the same way as last year.

If only the chick that did the honours actually knew how to toss a coin instead of just throwing it up.

Yes all indications are leaning that way.

However, Osama is a sneaky bugga

Will we ever know the truth? haha
