All sides lose stinkers. Swans, a red hot flag chance, lost to GC in Sydney but beat Geelong and Melbourne, which more than made up for it. In 1995 we lost to the Swans and Saints, so stinkers happen.

Saints were in the 8 at the time but the Adelaide loss was feeble. We lost to GC but that happens up there. We didn't make up for it enough although we did beat the Swans. We beat 4 sides in the 8, but should have beaten 6, meaning Collingwood (twice) and Melbourne last 2 games but choked it up at the wrong time.

None of the above were in the 8 for 23 weeks and missed finals. No matter how you twist it and turn it, its one of the all time greatest chokes and we need to fix it in 2023 or else the stench will linger forever.

Without over reacting, we could have fixed this multiple ways.

1. And 2.  Hold on to win last two rounds.

3.  Beat Adelaide instead of sleeping.

4.  Concede less goals in our losses.

5.  Win by bigger margins.

6.  Playing more 4 quarter efforts.

We missed out by .6 of a percent.

Now is not the time to call it the greatest choke of all times.  Collingwood own that mantle in grand finals.

Why let reason get in the way of hysteria and list/wrist slashing and burning…?

Would love to know if the rumors around this are true, or not.   I even once asked The Dominator, at a function, if these games paid for the end of season trip, or not....  he straight-batted the question back to to me.....

Complete myth.
