While I completely disagree that high pressure defence is boring, a lot need attacking footy to consider it exciting.

The fact is we have changed. In 2014 we were the most attacking side in the comp. We were ranked first in hitting the corridor, ranked 2nd behind hawks for inside 50s resulting in a goal and averaged 3rd most points scored against top 8 sides

No-one can say we're boring to watch anymore. We bring that high pressure defence PLUS attack on goal that everyone craves

Don't worry about it Ric these stereotypes die off soon. Sydney went from being called the "Ugly Ducklings" to being a part of the two greatest Grand Finals in modern era (05,06)
yeh man you're right there. we needa win one first :(

I meant to write "two of the" but yes that one was good too, loses points for having a boring rematch though  :-X

The 05 Grand Final is horribly overrated

I agree, as much as I hate the eagles.

2009 and 2010 were fantastic matches, while 2000 will always be my favourite for obvious reasons :3

Mr.Craig

2006 for me. I was bouncing off the walls in the last quarter it was so exciting.

So happy for us to finally have a Friday Night home game that isnt the last round of the season! Even if the rest of our draw is pretty eh and our start is horrible.

Yeah 2006 was fantastic. I was also quite a fan of 2002.

Mat0369

2006 was a lot better then 2005.

The 2011 and 2012 games were pretty decent as well

07 was just funny.

Mailman the 2nd

Curious as to why you think that?

I thought both were pretty much the same level. 2005 obviously gets talked about a lot more due to the 72 year streak and the Leo Barry mark but I would hardly call it overrated

DON'T flowerING GO THERE. We should've had 99-00-01 trilogy :'(

But if we're including games we didn't see live, I always love watching 84. Amazing comeback (23 down at 3/4 time to win by 24) and lots of great players on display for both sides. 85 wasn't that bad too, little one sided though :3 the brawl is good haha

07 was just funny.

I was at Port's post match function. It was like a Sadness Olympics and everyone got a gold medal.

The wounds will never heal. :'(

The thing is that 05 gets put on a pedestal because of that mark and the drought being broken. You had a quarter of football where one team scored 3 points and the very next quarter the other team scored 2. I think the game in 06 was of a much better quality. I can barely sit through the 05 game if I go to watch it now. I also struggled on the day.
