They just called a Lions GF "The Miracle on Grass"....
When has anyone ever called it that? [emoji38]
Which one was a miracle?
2001 - they comfortably beat a very talented team with an even more talented team
2002 - they narrowly beat an inferior team in the wet
2003 - they comfortably beat same team
2004 - they lost
None of them involved a big comeback IIRC and none of them were real upsets; perhaps 2001 the Bombers might have been slight favourites.
Their midfield boasted 3 Brownlow Medallists, the had all time top 10 full forward and centre half forward, chuck in the Scott brothers, Darryl White, McRae, Hart, Lappin, Johnson, McRae and Michael too, you could almost say they had the best line up ever.
