    A lot gets through to the keeper when you bat, doesn't it.

    not when the old trundler up the other end serves up the same pies one delivery after another.
    then again, i think it would be worth trying 15-16 players on field so what would i know

    Swans were lucky in '05 that Banfield hit the post!

    And unlucky that Magic was concussed in 2005 (had the wobbles anyway) or we would have won by more than 20 and the whole mindset would have been different for the 2006 GF as we would have convincingly beaten the Eagles in the previous GF.

    Has their been a premiership team that won every game by so much that there wasn't an element of luck?

    Conussed my arse! Just a shocking case of big stage yips!!

    or we would have won by more than 20 and the whole mindset would have been different for the 2006 GF as we would have convincingly beaten the Eagles in the previous GF.
    Yes, possibly true.

    Has their been a premiership team that won every game by so much that there wasn't an element of luck?
    Essendon 2000, 1985? Hawthorn 1983, 1988? Perhaps a few others.
