Adelaide didn't even win one single quarter of footy in those two finals games. To go out in straight sets as minor premier not winning a single quarter of football is quite a feat.

Rankine missing round 1 next year is a nice little bonus too.
I am pretty worried that we had a week off where Hawks had a full contact training drill to sharpen them up
 
Name one modern day Geelong flag without a "home" final against an MCG tenant. This is how we do it.
For all the bullshit about our 'advantages', we've got to do it the hard way. Every time.

The reigning premiers, and what's likely to be two MCG tenants in a row proves that yet again. Just have to get it done.

Mods, can we get the official thread up please?

we're Cats supporters, dealing with stress and even disappointment is in our DNA (especially if we were fans in the 80's and 90's) - losing would be a Little Death no doubt. But no worse than losing in 2020, or 2013, or 2008, or 1992.

Those losses have made the Premiership all that more sweeter.

I think we should beat Hawthorn, but they want a flag just as much as we do.
I think 1989 was the worst loss. That Geelong team was full of magnificent players.

Then 2008, devastating 😩

Next 2013. All Hawks’ fans could say was thank goodness the Curse has ended 🙄
 
Do we think this game will sell out guys, a few of us booked flights from SA last week and I’m a bit worried about getting some general admission tickets.

There's no GA tickets in finals - standing room would be the closest, but otherwise it's reserved seating

2020?

Also - a "little death"? I always took that phrase as a euphemism for.. well.. something quite different to losing to hawthorn?
 
What is there to explain? Pretty self-explanatory statement.
It's a good observation too. I think plan A would involve tagging him regardless.

The thing concerning me is Meek against blitz or sdk. ROB had a bit of a mare i thought, tapping to Hawks advantage. But how much of that is just Meek pushing him to a position that forces it, and if that's the case what does blitz do?

not for me- your posts are incisive, but this one is beyond my grasp
Hawthorn are 4-0 in finals when Newcombe is the no.1 player on the ground.
Ergo. Don't get beat by what we know. Tag him and make someone else beat us.
 
Hawks were good. Crows were really ordinary.
Should be a good prelim but cats will be good enough. Go cats.

Play our best footy, we win, we're a 4-5 goal better team than the Dawks. Can't wait, these are the type of games you want as a fan.

I reckon Mitchell will do the same back. It's going to be a game of chess. Would have liked to have McGuiness available but Butler will tag somebody for sure.
