Game Day 2022 AFL Grand Final Geelong vs Sydney

[jenny61_99]

Lionel Richie probably rounds out the top 3 of pre match entertainment.

I personally loved 97/98 with balloons, big songs, flappy wind guys, jet fly overs, Mohammed Ali!

You know, I would have given the Norm to Selwood. The game was won in the first quarter and he was immense.

 

[Maddogmetro]

Imagine watching that game, and then realising that your team was 7 goals worse in a grand final lol

 

[Red mist]

Ironically he did- to -nil Walsh the night before he was killed

who knows how that would have played out publicly or within the club.
after that, how do you think it would have gone down to publicly say I’m leaving?

(and I’m no danger fan- despite my name- since he left)

accurate

Interesting that the Swans attacking style significantly improved as a result of Pyke being employed as an assistant coach..
Also of note is how the Swans completely lost structure and the game plan went to water on gf day.

2017.

Whilst 119 truly is history, and whilst not wanting to be compared to Janus, the result today was probably worse.



Worse in that Sydney were not competitive from the very beginning.


Also worse because Sydney attempted to stem the tide defensively. Port never did in 2007. They let the game flow.

2007 Geelong would have demolished Sydney by more than 119 today.

I used to take my kids to the family days at West lakes. Even from an early age he was out and about with the members , great with the young ones and nothing like his figjam media persona

Was so far our best player in his last game - lost final re Hawks.

One of the greats of our club

And unlike so many others, never potted us on the way out or afterwards and always seems gracious about his time here.

That Port team had no business playing in a GF. Wall to wall spuds.

I still can't go past 119 as the worst. The Swans' performance today was outright lamentable yet they were still 7 goals better off margin-wise than Port were. Today was second and GWS in 2019 third, at least they played for one quarter.

 

[CrowsB4hoes]

Really makes you wonder why we get such stick for 2017. We were winning half way through the second quarter and missed a couple easy chances.

You could almost be forgiven for feeling sorry for them coming up against an all time great team in 07 Geelong. Almost.

No team was getting close to Geelong that day but maybe some others might have kept the loss to a more respectable 10-15 goals.

The power stance most likely has a lot to do with the s**t we copped.

Tex played a blinder compared to Buddy.

And the power stance had a 3-0 record in first quarters.

And the 2 players who thought it was a load of wank were our worst performers on GF day.

 

[GROTTO]

Thoughts GROTTO?

I backed Smith to kick 3+ at $67

I had a f**king awesome day personally.

Its unfortunate as I was so drunk I missed most of the GF.

 

[D Style]

I wonder what Dean Gore is up to tonight

Beat me to it ha

 

[Minor Threat]

Beat me to it ha

Either way, they should be building a Dean Gore statue out the front of GMHBA right now

Well my sister got married on GF Day 1989 - Hawthorn vs Geelong.

So whenever I hear or read this I just go wtf!

We were at a wedding this time last year. They weren’t footy followers, but the guests were! At the reception everyone’s watching the Melbourne onslaught on Kayo on their phones

 

[Bay62]

Much better players have never even gotten to play in, and experience everything that comes with, a grand final..

Wobbie Grey is one straight off the top of my head..

Pavlich

 

[Bearded Clam]

Pavlich

He played in a GF didn’t he?..

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

He played in a GF didn’t he?..

He did, 2013.

Fev is one.

 

[Bay62]

I listened to the last quarter in the car

Just about to start the quarter, a commentator says it’ll be enjoyable for the Cats players, basically a victory lap

Dermie says “Forgive the way I see the game, but if I’m a Swannie right now, I’m looking to make some Cats players afternoon miserable”

He’d be flattening a few just for the heck of it

 

[Bay62]

He played in a GF didn’t he?..

Ah yes, thanks

Danger is immortal now (probably was before the flag) but the way he plays football he always was gonna end up eith a flag. No one deserves a flag in my eyes
