The 2010 final was such bullshit, a draw and you decide a rematch?!Why not extra time? My grandfather who was a huge supporter of the saints his whole life waited since 1966 for a trophy. He died of cancer in 2011. One day we will win and I will probably cry. I miss you ❤

[@markbailey3427]

Fully agree with you mate and that’s a shame I’m sorry for your loss

[@somerandomdude268]

Was only a rematch because that’s what the rules dictated back then. Since that draw in all finals there is extra time.

@J G bro i see u commenting everywhere. its not soccer its football and alot of people that love afl love it aswell

[@iknoweverything4959]

Hang on, they had replay grand finals all the way back in the 1940's. Your supposed Grandfather who supposedly died should have understood the rules.

[@taliamason7986]

Shocking awareness from Ralph Clarke when comes to Max Rooke's first goal. The man is just jogging with the footy like its a long distance marathon and then all of the sudden a wild big cat runs up behind and pounces.

[@seankelly498]

Didn't know his teammate was going to sabotage him and bring Rooke 2 metres away when playon was called apparently

[@RabidTales]

He was saints worst player that season

[@Erennn-mq5cx]

Shouldn’t have played

Nothing sums up St Kilda as a football club more then leaving arguably the greatest player of all time, that seasons brownlow medalist all by himself in the middle of the mcg with 5 minutes to go in a grand final with the scores level.

[@eponymous7910]

lol 2008 cats got flogged by an obese 30 year old in a 10 minute massacre

[@HomesliceGC]

The scoreline in the 2008 grand final only looks bad for Geelong because Hawthorn abused a rule and kept rushing the ball through for behinds. 11 of Geelong's 23 behinds were actually behinds made by Hawthorn

[@aflhighlights5375]

Clackson is just better

[@taliamason7986]

Both 09 and 2010 Nick Reiwoldt the so called superstar was practically non existent in all of those matches. If he even brought just 50% of his best, that would been enough to defeat Geelong and Collingwood.
