70000+screaming manly fans watching their team decimate a team playing $1mil over the cap during October
of 2008
The biggest flogging in 100 years of football on the grandest stage of them all,all against a team more than 20% over the cap,do you still wake up in a cold sweat cursing Orford for being almost perfect,it eats at you doesn't it? Watching Folau cry gave me sustanance
If no goals got missed that day the score would've been so much worse,worse yet you'll watch it again when in hell as a punishment for being a merkin,over and over for eternity,meanwhile all that I'm hearing from you is white noise
To be fair, Brisbane were robbed. F@#KING SIMS! Melbourne played their grand final a week early int he last minute win over the broncos. I'm sure we would have knocked the eagles off if it wasn't for that dropped ball. F@#KING SIMS!!!
and you played melbourne without cameron smith. He might not have made 40 points difference but he sure would have kept it more respectable. and with him out the $1m over you've quoted was probably just his wage. so you were effectively on an even playing field.
The two worst outcomes possible from that '08 prelim.
1) Brisbane got knocked out, denying bennett the fairytale farewell he deserved
2) a spent melbourne rolled over and allowed that vermin from the north of the harbour to win a premiership.
A travesty of the highest order.
