Yeah, but they need to win it to prove they were the dominant side from 2007-2009. I don't dispute that Essendon were the most dominant side from 1999-2001, but with that comes the tag that they are the most underperforming team in modern history.
I actually find it kind of funny that they carry that with them, but for some reason (maybe Rudi's susceptibility to going on a killing spree) I don't want Geelong to carry the same tag.
