Both Hawkins and Duncan will be gone for a week, especially with punches being the flavour of the month at the MRP. So incredibly dumb by both players.

Er Hawkins didn't actually punch him....it is jumper punch that is outlawed, not jumper push.

Well, that's an interesting 180 degree twist on the usual nufnuff complaints about playing injured players too soon.

Hawkins didn't make high contact IMO.
Duncan will receive a fine.
Duncan will receive a fine.
MRP won't make the distinction I don't think. Hope I'm wrong, but will be surprised with his form if he doesn't get rubbed out.

The AFL getting what it wanted. Anyone can beat anyone.
Every side in the top 8 has a bad flaw and the Crows who are on top of the ladder are no different and here we are with no standout flag favourite and everyone can win it.
Personally I hate the pre-finals bye as it takes away the advantage of finishing top 4 somewhat but this should make an exciting finals series.
That said this Geelong side can't hold a candle to our great flag winning side yet sit second, Adelaide aren't great yet are first. Every side that finished top 4 between 2007 to 2010 would have no problem winning the flag this season, that's how far the standard has fallen and flattened out so that there are so many similarly quality sides.
Not sure which is better to be honest.
For some reason I blithely assumed that a post-match thread on the Geelong sub-forum relating to a match involving neither Adelaide nor Dangerfield would be a context even Adelaide fans would find it difficult to crowbar a gratuitous Dangerfield jibe in to.
How naive I was.

That is a very ill-informed, ignorant and stupid reply to a 100% accurate post. Go away.
We have to make finals first. This it typical Scott always looking to the next not the now.

So you also think their skills and discipline were good?

Because we were never going to win tonight with the side we went in with and only a handful of supporters would pick us by 3 goals and you're one of them and here you are potting people who say we're gone when in seasons gone by we've sat in the top 4 and fecking crumbled.
This has been consistently discussed by Geelong fans for a few years. I am definitely not alone on this opinion. And I don't appreciate your patronising tone...but I have had a long day
None of Gregson, McCarthy or Cocky are coming back this year.

Worst game Henderson and Tuohy have played for Cats.
For tonight, some wins to come and we could be 4th.

Nothing Ng in the Duncan one - made look bad by acting
Hawkins was foolish but the punches were trivial unlike the Crouch one

I hear that every time we get cited.....yet we always cop it
I won't hold my breath
Cocky definite?
Ideal world... you faze in a 1 or 2 debutantes into a solid group of players with years of knowing each other , they come in show a glimpse here or there and you dont rely on them to do too much...We have far too many kids and first year players ... too many that are recent arrivals.Just too many guys that are not reliable. At times that match took me back to the days when Voss just smashed the living suitcase out of Corey... different era, different game style... but tonight we had too many guys who just couldn't mix it , too light , too inexperienced . So with that in mind is it any wonder we struggled.
Maybe tonight burst a few balloons full of hope.. Tonight had plenty of clarity of what may lay ahead if we dont get a fit mature team back. Look hard and and you could see another finals embarrassment out there circling the ground like some sort of September buzzard.
Yes there were some player that looked way too green. Buzza at times showed a bit and then at other times look like he was on the ropes with his hands up , just trying to stay on his feet. The thing is , I see no future in returning to Stanley at CHF.. to me its like when we moved on Arnott when he was a very handy player.. id rather put someone else in there see what they can do. No matter where we are on the deluded delusion of a ladder I really do not see us getting close to winning 3 big finals in a row so.. lets sort out if we kids worth keeping.

But he sure can act.
