We have a team here that's been rolled in 4 out of 5 grand finals, one of them by a margin a nerd with a calculator would have difficulting summing up. Some, I repeat, some, Eagles fans need to get over themselves.
There were tons of good sides in the 1990's, but lets face it, Port won just about everything and were the dominant force of the decade and everyone else was hidden in what was their HUGE shadow!
Now we're in a period where the Dogs are that side. Massive. 7 grannies in succession. 5 premierships. Torrens and Sturt have done well to grab a flag, Torrens have done even better to make 5 grand finals, but I think Eagles fans handing out abuse and advice to other fans is just pushing it a bit far. Its hard to take seriously, any bellowing from Eagles fans, when they've been such an abject failure when it comes to Grand Finals.
People can throw about the "well at least we made it" line, but I don't recall anyone defending Centrals when they "made it" a few times against Port or jumped to the defence of Geelong when they made it in 89, 92, 94 and 95.
Losing a lot of Grand Finals, whether you like it or not, sorta makes anything you say a bit hollow. Torrens might go on to win the next couple of flags and kudos to them if they do, then the fans can come out and gloat at their power, 3-4 flags they'll say, but until then, you're in Centrals shadow as much as the rest of us. We're all clambering for the crumbs they might give us. To say otherwise is just deluding yourself.
Yeah everyone is a chance this finals series, but we all know, deep down, Centrals are by far in the box seat yet again.

I can't believe this crap! You can't win them if you ain't in them. We certainly haven't been good enough to win a few of them but we have without a doubt been the [b]second[/b] most consistent side in the past 10 years (9 finals series in a row).
And another thing, we didn't play Sturt at Unley this year but would it have made a difference given you have been our bitches since 1991 - 9 wins out of 45 (a 20% winning record and three of wins those occurred in 2002).

Your WRONG AGAIN TROLL .
EAGLES fans would rather play North or Sturt above Glenelg.Because as the record shows Glenelg and Eagles are the form sides of the final five.Not taking in to account centrals as they have a bye this week.
Hey the EAGLES may win or lose but we won the double chance which your mob fumbled. If the EAGLEs lose and STURT win no hang on you have not won a game for how many weeks .Yeah see ya next year.
