"It was like death by a thousand cuts in that last quarter."
Both West Coast and Collingwood performed well in the grand final. But there were some what-if moments in the final term that saw the Pies' flag hopes cruelled.
This week on The Age Real Footy Podcast, Michael Gleeson, Jake Niall and Jimmy Bartel look back on a brilliant match, of which the Eagles the Eagles were deserved winners. They look at the Eagles who stood up on the day and throughout the season, how Mason Cox almost got the Pies over the line, how Jeremy McGovern bucked the trend and more.
They also look at what the result might mean for the game going forward. After the Tigers took the 2017 flag with an unconventional set-up, especially in the forward line, the Eagles' success has given a tick to the more traditional line-up.
Also this week, we look at what the future holds for the new premiers – who will regain talent but could also lose some in the trade period – and for Collingwood, who look set for another tilt at the flag in the next three to four years.
Plus, whispers about a meeting between Dylan Shiel and Carlton that almost involved a private jet, how a photocopier resulted in a very crowded Collingwood rooms on Saturday and the Eagles assistant coach moonlighting in the traffic management sector.
