You can never get adequate payback for losing a GF but last night was still nice. Our first final following the 1996 GF was against the Bulldogs and in that match, they just ran all over us.
This will be just our 3rd final against the Dogs. The first was way back in 1942so not a big finals rivalry against them.
I'm very very confident we will defeat them.
a) We have a ton more finals experience than them
b) They are under the pump after losing to Hawthorn and don't want to go out in straight sets. We have nothing to lose.
c) They only won 2 of their last 7 and that was to us and Essendon. We were going through a lean spell then with atrocious kicking for goal not helping. If we played just half as well as we did last night we would have smashed them.
New York Giants did it this year and we could also be the classic example of a team peaking at the perfect time. If St Kilda somehow pull off the biggest upset in the history of the game, we know that all the cards are falling in the right way for us.
