I don't think there's the same level of negative feeling about GWS that there was in 2019.
Their bulk draft picks have come and gone (to other clubs, in many cases) and this team has ridden out a very brief down cycle and emerged better. They've recruited smartly with guys like Jesse Hogan and developed later round picks like Tom Green.
I recall before the GF in 2019 there was plenty of talk about a hollow win if they got up, but I can't imagine any of that would be replicated this year. They are seen as gritty underdogs now.
