I mean, Saint Kilda were infront most of the way.....and what happened?
Was it Nerves?
Did Geelong just step it up a notch?
Were they just too tired?

I think they were just way unprepared, worser off than Geelong who had had 2 years of previous experience in grand finals.

Experience was the main reason why Geelong won it.

What went wrong is that they didn't kick enough goals. Smile

Nah but, their disposal, especially in the second half was fairly awful. They just didn't look like they were looking for each other, and they just looked a total different team to what we saw throughout the season. That's what nerves will do to ya. But I reckon we'll see a bigger and better and tougher St. Kilda this year.

Remembering back, this is actually very true. They kept missing for goal, some of their attemps were absolute shockers.
