Wow -that’s amazing. I always thought that 2006 game was one of the pivotal moments that ended up contributing to our 2007 run.
Review Geelong defeats WC by 20 points. GO you Good things!!!

Peter Knights ..that stretching the gum there he took marks like Sav as a backman... Kolo is becoming a good solid reliable defender..and that enough.

Guthrie!! I feel bad. 2nd final he's really stood up in.
Tommy should be fine. It didn't look bad at all, guy didn't get concussed or anything like that & Greene got off!
And Cothchin! & he did concuss someone.
Umpires: yeah they want WC to get back into the game for TV ratings and all that.
But what if they won? It's f**ked up.
CS. Selected the team sensibly and we looked like the better team which we were.

Ofcourse this was a test. Next week’s is a bigger one but they have shown tonight that they can rise to the challenge. And I am excited. It was a great game to be at and I was proud of the team and am backing them to put up a good fight against the tiges. Looked like we just about have our mojo back.
I think we saw a little bit of what I have been debating with you last night... we look a far better side, certain players look far better players ..with a more attacking game plan... we end up with near 90 points ..and even if Wc got a few lucky frees and we made a couple of errors... we have score comfort factor up or sleeve.
When we went long and skinny tonight we took a few more marks which also make that tactic far more sustainable..

He's pregnant?
Yes. He is not far away from landing those marks regularly. Was impressive tonight. Reckon his size and willingness to crash a pack would make defenders nervous
Other thing about Esava is that he is lovely smooth set shot kicker
I think i detected a cheer at the ground when in the first 30 seconds Menengola (?) off half back went inboard with a pass to Touhy ( i think) in the middle.
Seemed to be a totally different plan last night.
That responce from the board..the posts in the Krock thread..the Krock team... it was not an over reaction at all.. the game against the Pies was so much of result that fell into the hands of those who think they know the us and the story..finals game failures , off the bye etc etc. .. and even this game the bounce back game after the game after the bye , playing West Coast after thie issue a day or two before the game.. it will all be determined eventually that nothing has changed yet.
If we want to change the story..if Chris Scott and the club want to change the story..then its the PF that must be won.. we have to produce in a PF
Joel referenced Mitch Marsh ..willing to fail , will to have success .. and they played with dare and risk tonight..there was less worry about what happens if I mess up and more focus on just trust my talent.
Danger has three PF final losses to his name.. he has now played 5 to 6 super games into each ..into finals..no one could say he doesnt play finals well. He is probably in abletts 89 zone ..he is probably at his best or the best he is going to be right now..
Fall short tonight was to watch the club just implode and the win stops that ..it was against the vibe of most and yet plenty will say in the wash up ..in the season review .. so what if that it and Rich just roll us next week. Tonight was a monumental win against the media vibe win , tonight prevented the meldown.. its was like the relief valve but to the winners go the spoils ..and its next week that will define us.
So no ..I dont feel there was over reaction at all... that form has taken us to the edge , now its to be seen if now that we are off the cliff can we still play with that form against a team that owns the G.

I think he is a dry well Pure...
In hindsight, you could say that I totally lost my s**t after the Pies game.
Simply a fantastic performance today, with massive, massive improvement from guys I was packing off to the knackery last week including Atkins, Bews, Kolo, Ablett, Selwood & Hawkins. Amazing.
Everyone played their part. We flew out of the gates, then dug in when it got tight. Such a great win.
If the Matchday review fairy gives us a rare reprieve this week, then I reckon we can cause Richmond problems.

and that leaves me cold as well to be honest. This now is the circumstance that a few of us discussed. They refused to give Buzza games when they could.. so on their choices be it. I can only think that it will either be Fort or or a mid and play Danger forward. The marking of Sav wrks well with Hawk to draw defenders.. a lot harder to be the #1 .. and he is still young and flakey. How id love to bring in Freddie and for him to becoem ..but its not our style or cs's imo... Buzza has the size but under lights I feel he is not at his best..and it would be a huge risk. CS goes to mature guys.. and I feel he will go to SS as a stopper.
Exactly.
I did too. I was calling for Kolo to be replaced by Henderson. He was very good, he may have to take on Jack next week.

What was with Bruce’s “Menagolea”? A new way to butcher his name by melding it with Ratugolea??
I think Taylor would do as good as if not better than Stanley in the forward line. It seems likely that Rohan will be fit, in the case of Hawkins out then Rohan in would be the most logical solution. Blicavs will almost certainly take Lynch anyway leaving Kolo on Riewoldt.
You cannot be serious! Ablett's worst game was last week against Collingwood!!! his worst game for the year! Last night he was very good. He was not 100% and his miss for goal early was un-Ablett like, however later when he had a chance at another shot, he did not shirk the responsibility! he very wisely knew that for whatever reason he was not up to it, he did the team thing and passed it. He was much better than last week but still not at his best.
It sounded like the name of an on the run Nazi, hiding out in Argentina
If Hawkins out, Rohan in. Taylor to FF. Blitz on Lynch, Kolo on Riewoldt. Keep it simple.
That last line shows just how much kids develop (and we should be wary about judging kids too soon) . His kicking in the VFL first couple of outings was exceptional. For all the wrong reasons.

Sav’s influence

Atkins and Dahlhaus making defenders hear footsteps
Hawkins’ response

I think that was the day that we dominated until half way through the third quarter. Ben Cousins was hardly seen in the first half. He must have been given a strong pick-me-up 'speech by the coach' at half time. He was unstoppable in the second half.
While now is the time to celebrate the win, your post is depressingly correct.
The preliminary final becomes possibly the biggest game for Scott since the 2011 GF.
My fear is that the club was (appropriately by the way) pumped for last night. Hope its sub consciously not a case of thinking they climbed the mountain with that win.

We looked in real trouble with the Eagles reeling in the 5 goal deficit quickly and hitting the front in the third. Lucky for us Dangerfield (and Joel) stood up again and steeled the troops for a great win.
It seemed the Eagles were off for most of the night and the Rioli saga had taken its toll.
We probably still have too many passengers and a general lack of composure (particularly down back) to trouble the slick Richmond team but we shall see.
Great to see Guthrie stand up in the absence of Duncan and give us some great run and carry. One of his best games for the Cats.
Hopefully Hawkins escapes a suspension although it seems unlikely given his treatment by the mrp for much milder transgressions. Perhaps the Toby Greene inexplicable verdict last week means that finals incidents are again a different beast in terms of sanctions.
Getting Duncan back would be a boon and it seems this is touch and go. Fingers crossed.
