I went to all of Geelong's finals in 1989. Ablett Sr was incredible. Not just in the GF but the entire final series. Wasn't enough to get the win though, but there's not much else he could have done. A 10th goal to tie the scores would have been nice I guess.
My only issue so far was using my iPhone to cast directly to my Chromecast. For some reason watching live this way causes it to buffer every 20 seconds or so. It made the games unwatchable. In frustration I went back to my PC and ran it in Chrome and cast the tab from there to my Chromecast...
He actually took two contested one handed marks in the last quarter. One against Rance late in the quarter and an earlier one against another defender. I guess that's why there's some confusion in this thread.
Loved the contested work by the dogs. They just looked like they would win every contest. Didn't get value for their hard work inside 50. I thought Hunter was very damaging early and we needed to tighten up on him. Libba going off was obviously a big turning point. It let Danger off the leash...
Yeah. I just meant Big Footy mainly. I live in Canada now anyway so it's even easier to avoid. The only AFL fan I know here is a Demons supporter.
I've got a good mate back home who's a Crows fan so I'd be happy for him if they win it.
I think I became a bit numb to it all after they won their third. Four would be history and worth seeing if that's the way it plays out. If Geelong don't win it, I'd almost be happy for the Crows to get there. Losing their coach the way they did was incredibly tough and a credit to the club...
I agree that Carlton, Collingwood and St Kilda have beaten us fair and square and all three of them played genuinely good games of footy against us. What's frustrating is watching them then dish up a rubbish effort and poor intensity soon afterwards, sometimes the very next week.
Living in...
Well done to Swans. They really wrestled the momentum away from us when we briefly got on top and then went on with it. No shame in losing to good sides like that, even at our home ground. Just highlights how costly those 3 losses to the lower place teams will be come the finals. 1 or 2 wins...
Yeah, I remember that half-time time warp issue. Used to drive me crazy since I had the iPad hooked up to the TV via a HDMI cable. I'd usually just go sit in front of the PC to watch the second half, which was never as good, since watching in the browser only lets you watch a small sized video...
Was happy to see Barnsey get a medal in 2000 after years of good service at the Cats and back to back losses in 94/95.
Still enjoy watching him take that mark in the defensive goal square in the 94 prelim with the scores tied....and then immediately playing on under pressure. Still get...
Well done Freo. Cats just couldn't match it with them. Pav was seriously awesome. Seemed to dig deep and nail goals every time Geelong gained any momentum.
I'll be cheering for them the rest of the finals series. Hope they show this form in Adelaide next week.
