Given how 2020 panned out, with the hubs, short games, etc. How could you say our era would be ended if we lost the PF or the GF?
This was a weird year and if we had not won, a reasonable comment would be that that 2020 was not a year you could make a medium term judgement from.
Just silly clickbait thinking from Barrett and the rest of them, also very short term thinking, as in, no-one will remember what these morons write more than a week after they have written it. While this is mostly true, the internet means that we don't need to remember their idiocy to be able to bring it back up.
I don't think this period will go down as a period of quality journalism, and not just on footy. One hopes that the quality of journalism rises again some time soon. Certainly some of the sites like The Mongrel Punt and a few others does give some hope.
