is there a small problem that there coach was a drug addict and the boys who were responsible for the essendon drug problem were working for geelong at the time.
Should of won 4? The arrogance! Lucky to win 3. The Saints were the better team on the day in the 09 GF. Way more inside 50’s, it was only the Saints poor kicking in front of goal and Tom Hawkins “goal” that clearly hit the post that saw them get over the line. Absolute luck that they won that day. Should of won 4 he reckons!
They refused to lose that day because they'd let '08 slip through their fingers. You can blame the heroics of Stewy Dew and Cyril Rioli in the space of 8 minutes of football that subsequently robbed St Kilda of their 2nd Premiership.
