If anything 2012 was a choke as we were minor Premiers. 2014 was far from a choke.
Agree, Dog's were the best team in 2012 and got outsmarted by Melbourne in the first half of the GF. Couldn't get passion for field passion.
Anyway I think it is a fair question. Since 2004 dogs have been in 7 finals series and finished in the top four 3 times and two grand finals. 2012 was by far the best chance and fell as the last hurdle.
The team has been on a downward trend following 2012 being bottom half of the eight.
Not sure how next year will be. So hopefully the boys win tonight, stick it up the fair weather chooks supporters who don't turn out to watch their team anyway and show them what real passion for your football team is all about.
Extra bonus, hope Kane Evans (the little bitch) gets smashed tonight.
