Not sure where to put this, but Jordan Clark's Instagram story has him lying in what appears to be a hospital bed watching the cricket.
Did they pull the pin on 2019 and send him in for surgery?
Man Mitch Marsh and winning the toss and bowling. Head to the cricket board if you still want a good Thursday night melt.
I don’t think anyone here is “happy” with straight sets, we’ve just given up hope.It appears most of our fans have given up and are happy with straight sets. Its a long off season -
You will have plenty of time over the offseason to dwell on Scott.
Why the ‘wooden stake’ into the heart of the true believers?
I’m just asking for a friend...

Why get our hopes up just to be crushed when the inevitable occurs.
Should have done it day one.Not sure where to put this, but Jordan Clark's Instagram story has him lying in what appears to be a hospital bed watching the cricket.

I can honestly say that the best thing about '07, '09 and '11 definitely wasn't the hope. It was winning the goddamned thing.Isnt that sport though? Sometimes the hope is the best bit.
Give me a reason to believe Geelong, right now I'm on the brink of spending money on a lost cause.
Sometimes notTo reference the work of Joe Abercrombie "Ah, lost causes. My favourite."
I'm not looking for hope or belief, those are intuitive intangibles not logical ones. What I do think is we have plenty who will do whatever they can to give a good account of themselves, even if in a last stand. Sometimes that's all you can ask for.
Let’s not think it’s gonna be easier without Rioli. Petrucelle is a speed freak!
Montagna pretty cluey I think. We start slow because our mindset is to be slow and cautious as per our game plan. We don’t have an aggressive approach, so we don’t start well in finals. It’s a mindset!
Must change this! Bring the intent and look to move it more quickly. Slow ball movement just plays into eagles hands!
Over to you C. Scott 3-10 man!
Our players and coaches have been saying "our best is good enough" for years and years whenever we were in a down spot (eg after loss to Collingwood). I wish they would stop parroting this stupid line and start saying the truth - that they are not doing the basics right (eg kicking, front and centre, spoiling) and they need to be better. That's it - and then come out and make a statement on the field with actions. Enough with Chris Scotts smart ass comments about how no one understands anything except for him and his 6 selectors. He really did make himself look like a complete fool on Friday night - karma IMO.Thats an interesting observation... please explain ..?
Is that 5 talls in our backline? Jake, Mark, Mark, Jack and Harry.Down to tin tacks
We're home!!!

A certain Allen Christensen may have played one or two previously as well...They were + Lions were massacred. At least both teams had a good crack + the games were enjoyable to watch, until the feet were on their throats.
Also, it was Lions’ first Final in 10 (?) years, only Rich + Dodgey had played Finals.
I still prefer the players making an effort instead of our dour style.
My current theory is as follows...We have been treading water for years.
Being honest i'm not sure how we have finished as high as we have the last few years with the ordinary game we have been playing.
Maybe the comp isn't as strong as it once was...don't know.
They have a facility specifically for this at Deakin. Trained there for mostly all the preseason while GMHBA was having work done. They intentionally set the boundary sizes to the mcg.One solution would be to develop and play an MCG-suited game style, even if it makes life harder at home.

Maybe that explains early wins over the pies and tigers at the ‘G...They have a facility specifically for this at Deakin. Trained there for mostly all the preseason while GMHBA was having work done. They intentionally set the boundary sizes to the mcg.
The playing group has been put under a spell that makes them believe Scotts slow boring tactics are actually beneficial.But the scientology thing ..?
Are you sure given this is the back up plan.Not dead yet.
