It's cos we're Melbournians and we happen to be superior.

The other thing about Cooney that i think we should underline is that by round 12 after the game against hawthorn, he was not 100%. He's being carrying a fractured knee for 12 weeks playing at the top level and he still polled enough to win. So it was a top win and I think the Doggies really missed his influence late in the season.

I should mention that Black has ostetitis pubis and he polled very well too.
