The 2006 Grand Final was more enjoyable than...

Certainly seemed that way.

I don't think that the team were truly and collectively over their 2005 Premiership hangover until half time yesterday.

Crazy. Imagine a 1 point loss after 72 years. This one is bearable because we won last year.

No it not. Know where you are coming from, but we blew lots of chances, some stars had shocker days; so much potential talent when missing.

The team didn't play to their best, and we lost.

In no way was it bearable. I've come to expect my heart in my throat during a Swans big game, but to be on the end of this kind of loss in a Grand Final no less is a strange and unfamiliar wound. Karma is a bitch.

I don't understand all the fuss.

We beat West Coast by 4 points last year, so on aggregate we are 3 points up on West Coast in Grand Finals.

West Coast have to try harder next year.

Plus it was the Swans who lost it the game. Either we are very under-rated or the Eagles are very over-rated. I know which one I believe to be true.

Eh? One point or four, there's no difference. We have won and lost by less than a goal. Even in my books.

Funnily enough, I was fine after the game. In fact, I was as close to 'elated' as you could get with a loss, given the loss was a close as you could get to a win.

There's a legend in the making here that would have faltered somewhat if Sydney had won, and we're all a part of it.

Not a bad take-out in my books.

I tend to feel quite similar.
