If we win this would there be a better finals win in our history?

Mate ... it will be a great win .. and one to remember .... but I don't think anything will beat the exploits of the 1978 final series .....
That was EPIC however in terms of a one off game a win Saturday would be one for the ages.
I agree .... it will be a great win against the odds ... but in '78 we played 5 games against top 4 sides in 2 weeks with a busted glued together side ..
However, historians could argue that tomorrow we are playing a team that just scraped into the finals finishing 7th, with an 8 game rookie coach ... , and with home ground and crowd advantage,
For certain.Yes I see your comparison.
Nothing will ever beat the efforts of that 78 side, what they achieved was the stuff of legends but I still think a win tomorrow would go down as one of the greatest ever backs to the wall victories.

Saw every bloody one of them mate
Unbelievable
But wow, a run here would start a comparison
I dare to hope
Captain's run gallery - most hands seem to be on deck, but not necessarily running, so difficult to know who is fit to play

So where’s the Dinosaur photos ??
Has to be the most Migoty capt run of the year. Several players with injury trying to get through.
Suli ,Parker, Gosiewski are the main ones. TRex, Cust, Funa waiting for their big chance. I just hope we go with fit players that's all.
It was incredible to live through. I saw all of it and it was an unforgettable time. Half of it was during school holidays but not the GF replay. Incredible guts and will to win which we'll need bucketloads tomorrow night. Des needs a couple of old boys from '78 to address the lads.Wow, lived in the country then and only ever made one Brookie game plus a GF if we made it.
Only one year was different and that was 87 when we happened to be in Sydney the weekend before to see the musical Cats ( I think it was that but that’ll do ) and jagged some sears to see us beat Easts to go to the GF.
Sadly I’ve never lived close enough to attend all games.
