We were the underdog in 1968, 1970, 1972, 1979. Can't remember if we were in 1981-82, but we were again in 1987. The only time in the last 50 years that we were the clear favourite and won the flag, was in 1995.

I much prefer flying under the radar.



1979 - we only lost 3 games during the home and away season by a combined margin of 29 points (average losing margin of less than 10 points) our average winning margin was over 40 points a game - we only kicked less than 100 points twice that season.

Who told you we weren't favourites for the flag in 1979?

If it was that pissant bitter and twisted old Tom Prior (Chief Football Writer of The Sun) - tell him to get stuffed.

We were raging favourites - and the only reason Collingwood got close in the Grand Final was that it was played in a bog. :wink:
