I'll be on the bottom, at least until we're washed away. You could be blown out the stands up there tonight, Dave. Come on down - there's sure to be room.

I probably should have corrected that to be after we were 8-3. I know I was one of them. I was trumpeting (quite hypocritically) the stats of sides that make finals after being 8-3.

I think the players themselves would (or should) already know they're capable of more. I mean, yeah we lost, but even the players know we were one bad kicking quarter away from beating Hawthorn. They should KNOW they're capable of more without worrying about winning two meaningless end of season games.
I think everyone is forgetting the Varcoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo factor.

This is Tummy "Pies Killer" Porkins we're talking about. He's a lock to kick 4 tonight.
Have faith.
The word is while in rehab The Big Show has just discovered he has Jedi Mind Powers and Bucks wants to use him in the box tonight to control player movements. I personally think Bucks is wasting his time. IMO If The Big Show has Jedi Powers then he should be trying to control the ball.

Good question. The umpiring can't possibly be any worse than last week at least.

If I wasn't sitting in a box at the game tonight, I don' t if I would have been keen paying entry to this game.
Geelong by 54 points. Too experienced, too strong and too good for the Pies.
On a positive note though, Toovey is out!!!

I have a mate who umpires at local footy. Some of the abuse he cops for doing the best he can is shameful. Footy is a fast game with rules that rely on interpretation. Umpires don't have the benefit of instant replays or the different camera angles. I think referring to them as scum is pretty harsh.

There's this myth around that Hawkins is protected by the umpires, in fact he isn't.
While he's not treated as poorly as Buddy, Hawkins isn't even in the top 10 for frees for when it comes for forwards.
If you look at the Cloke and Hawkins comparison there's almost no difference at all when it comes to free kicks.

I've grown to like Hawkins as a footballer, unlike some forwards (Petrie, Darling, N.Riewoldt, Thomas and Westhoff) he doesn't play for free kicks, he plays a physical brand of footy, just like Cloke does.
Of course I hope Nathan Brown kicks his arse tonight, but of the Geelong players, he's one of the few I can stand.

That is Intresting but I do agree he is not like Duckwood and other Geelong Players. He does try and get Free Kicks
