You did beat both Grand Finalists, though... so I suppose there's that at least!

Alan Joyce really stuffed that team. My wife's uncle played a few games for them in the early 80s under Joyce and says the club was pretty toxic back then. Players sniping behind each others backs, rumours about players sleeping with team mates wives/girlfriends.

Plus the fact that Joyce was a militant coach who trained the players to the ground. Pity really, because the talent was there, just never came together on the field.
