    I meant the advantage they had in the final against us. No Marshall certainly helps as does the form of Bruce and Naughton who both couldn't have played worse that day.

    Carlisle also took marks for fun and Coffield had a field day just intercepting everything that came his way but both look unlikely to play this weekend.
    Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.

      You just watched the match back and I can assure you I will not be - does my memory of Ryder turning into Nicnat hold true or is it one of those things that just looked worse that it was?

      I swear the Saints (and Jack Billings) get up specifically for us. Their West Coast game, admittedly unreplicated since, was unbelievably impressive and I'm worried about our game style against that sort of pressure.

          They basically get up just for us. I remember saints fans telling me after our flag that they beat us that year. You know. That game where Mitch snapped his leg in two and Redpath did his ACL again. You know. A year after they came back against us when Clay did his ACL for the 4th(?) time. I hear about that from saints fans too. How awesome Billings was because of that match. Don’t think they realised how big a morale killer Clay doing his ACL was.

          One day the luck tide will turn against them. One day.

              If we can get over the Saint's that's basically all our ''boogie'' teams defeated for the year.. Except for maybe Richmond, but we've had their number for a while up until the last few games against them.

                    What about Freo in Perth and of course West Coast.

                    Apart from the 2016 final we haven't won in Perth since 2010

                      Yeah I have those in Perth as a loss. But then again, this is a different team.
