Holy shit I just watched it again. Bev went to grab the cup and then stood back looking a lil embarrassed. Oh well still I'm sure it doesnt bother him right now.
Sorry what?
He probably had a strained MCL, that's hardly going to be career threatening if he goes back on.
Don't like children handing out the players' premiership medals. They've just fought out a tense GF and achieved something they've worked all season / life for and in the midst of that raw emotion and their moment on the stage alone, have to make sure they're nice enough to a potentially over awed kid, lest the entire football world jumps down their throat.

Considering we are in year 1 of a rebuild, we disposed of your imposters quite easily is here nor there.
Draft time will be interesting this year for the Cats.....gave up your first round pick. Just hope you blokes keep your list in tact for another year; Keep telling yourselves a flag is around the corner.

bob and bevo look like a lesbian couple.
yeah i dont know about that, but i thought it was interesting as well....was clearly seriously injured....but i guess they know what they are doing
similar questions asked after they sent a clearly concussed JPK back out v GWS.....
i know inthe NFL players now have to be cleared by an independant DR before going back on...could be time to introduce the same here
The 2016 grand final has been and gone....... while the match had a tight struggle at times, and yes there was a lot of emotion in the lead up AND at the conclusion. But the game itself didn't seem like it was grand final quality, more regular season where nothing was on the line. If it were not for the crowd involvement at key pivotal moments it would have resembled a regular season.... if not pre season contest.
I don't know what it was that made me come to this conclusion ... the scoreline ? it was high-ish scoring toward the end, but the first half was a slow burn.
I have watched the game a handful of times now and think I've reached the point of not being able to watch it again.

Yet you have watched 2014 and 2015 over 100 times each, the former over 400 times.
Saturdays game was ****ing great, best GF in a long time.

Keep telling yourself you're one year into a rebuild and not 17.
I guess they were more sentimental because of the achievement of going back to back and a threepeat
, plus the whole family involvement in the club thing . The second half was better than the first half, I think the first half let the overall game down. The 2014 match was better as not only did Hawthorn belt the Swans, they systematically broke them down from the first quarter
wow - i thought it was an absolute cracker of a GF - very worthy!! definitely the best of recent years....
I think the emotion behind it made it the spectacle it was more than the football played in the match itself.

Unlike Geelong, we know exactly where we stand. It took us 5 years to recover from the AFL penalties. Our recruiting was appalling for 7 years, and we had a Board that believed that they could simply buy their way out of trouble. Finally we are on the same page and we are moving forward. We still have a few more years, but we take solace that we have the right people in place to move us forward. Unfortunately for Geelong, I think a few of the current squad have discovered the Geelong apparel of the 80's i.e. the handbag.

I do. The skill level.
If the first qtr was a regular season game it would have been described as one of the worst qtrs of football for the year.
Most of the goals in the game were manufactured rather than being the result of structured play.
The Bulldogs have hacked the ball forward all year but Sydney also got into the act.
The pressure was good from both teams though but I'm not sure if that was a result of the poor disposal or the poor disposal was a result of it.
Not all Grand Finals are high scoring - I think of 2005/2006 as examples and I'm sure there are others. It's the pressure and never say die attitude of all players on the field that makes a GF and that was there in spades. I'm sure if Hawthorn had been playing you would have a different opinion.
