44 Years of failure erased

Geelong won the 2007 AFL Grand Final. They ended 44 years of misery, failure and the expectation of falling short. No longer do they not have winning the premiership hanging over their collective heads.

Although not a footy fan I was happy for them. They won by a 119 goal margin, the largest ever in AFL history. They not only won the premiership they did it in a convincing fashion.

What this does for me is believe there is some hope for the Toronto Maple Leafs to overcome their 40 drought without a Stanley Cup. It will surely be a day many hockey fans will remember when the Maple Leafs finally win a cup. If that day ever comes many people will not know what to do with themselves.
