94 GF still one of my favourites with the great main kicking 5 in the last to get the win

Your dads 10 years older than me I lived through Torrens games kick 1 goal to say Glenelg 31 that’s my bad memoryAerie wrote:Following on from 93, and the Semi Final win, and the first quarter of the 94 GF, it was fair to say as a 13 year old Eagles supporter, I’d already claimed the premiership as ours at quarter time.
Back to earth with a thud.
Then 2000. And 2004. (2001 & 2005 not so bad - rank outsiders).
There was no complacency by 2006.
2011 was a miracle and the greatest game of football there ever was.
Dark days again on Grand Final day in 2015 & 2016.
Then the ultimate under Sheedy in 20/21.
Probably won 3 we should’ve and 2 we shouldn’t have, and lost 3 or 4 we shouldn’t have (15 was unlucky with injury) and lost 3 against Central where we did well to get there.
1994 showed us early, how hard they are to win. Given Dad was born in Torrens’ last premiership year of 1953, I won’t complain about losing a Grand Final. It’s just nice to have hope and a chance still, for as deep into the season as you can get!
