I don’t like the cats as much as the next guy but an 18-4 season with a percentage of >140 which included a 16 or whatever it was win streak and a 10+ goal victory in the prelim and grand final make them a great side in my books. As much as it sucks all of those claims of them being a retirement home, finals chokers, Scott being a crap coach, their recruitment strategy being unsuccessful have all been put to bed now.
Problem with this comparison is you can’t really look at out 2019 team in isolation as they were smack bang in the middle of a dynasty. So while our 2019 side is unquestionably better, in a one off game assuming it’s played to the current rules, cats probably win. That’s no knock on our 2019 team, I’d just always give the edge to the more recent team in a hypothetical game that could never happen especially with all the stupid constant rule changes which we still haven’t really adapted to.
