Game Day 2025 Preliminary Final: Geelong v Hawthorn

[MinerBoy]

We won't be able to over run them in the last. With 3 road trips in a row, and then being fresh as a daisy

If we kick the first 3 they’ll get a Free kick right in front of goal nothing surer

 

[ShoveYourCOLA]

The fumbling is just out of this world

Exactly the same story as Easter Monday

 

[Dixie Flatline]

It was a free hit

The correct result.

Solid season.

Geelong the best team

KOLOKOTRONIS

Geelong board is that direction.

 

[Jethro!]

Just need to get heat forward... we're too fumbly to worry about chains of hand passes. Need to just get it forward.
Not sure we've had many winners tonight

 

[MinerBoy]

Nah, scrim.

Different game to me. One of the few I’ve felt safe with

 

[killerspud]

It was a free hit

The correct result.

KOLOKOTRONIS

Oh **** off you miserable campaigner

 

[CaptainWorpedo]

The flipping umpires let the cats back into the game and they took their opportunity. I ask where is holding the ball for the cat?

I still refuse to blame the umpires, as much as they shit me.

We have had our chances and we’re still in this game… We need a lot go right and the boys need to really want it… !!!

 

[rdhopkins2]

3/4 time
H 9.7.61
G 13.11.89

Not over yet but want 3 quick goals to be a chance.

Cats dominated us that quarter.

 

[Mitchell Madness]

And they look like world beaters now but it’s hard not to with such a leg up and momentum just gifted to you

Been the case for years.
They look poor, umps pay a few very dodgy ones, they start front running, their opponent drops their head, they then dominate and arse a few goals

 

[seysearles]

If we were going to beat them we couldnt have every 50-50 flip there way and give them probably 4 goals. Not saying thats the difference but it effectively took all the wind out of our sails.

 

[LunchboxLegend]

We are best off just sitting Worpel this last quarter

No, Sam needs to tell him to belt someone.
He can sit out games next year wearing blue and white.

 

[The Golden Glenferrie]

I still refuse to blame the umpires, as much as they shit me.

We have had our chances and we’re still in this game… We need a lot go write and the boys need to really want it… !!!

Looking forward to the name change. What we going with?

 

[Hungdaddy]

The umpiring decisions Danger gets are perplexing.

 

[Plat the Rat]

Hopefully we don’t roll over and at least fight it out

 

[Sonny Hayes]

Too many players have just not handled the pressure tonight.

Danger has just destroyed us.

He always does, I could cop it in his prime but ****ing he’ll he’s still killing us.

Him and Ablett, two of the best of a generation and yet both still find a way to go to a new level every time they play us.

 

[Simon Crawshay]

3 to 15 centre clearances.

Not going to win many games with that statement line (corrupt umpiring aside).

 

[AlwaysHawks15]

Caution to the wind throw Sicily forward. Intercept marking has become irrelevant now and we need alot more speed in the backline.

 

[vanders]

Tough ask for the backline when the ball is coming so quick and with no pressure.

If we’re any chance Sam needs to roll the dice and put Weddle and Wiz in the middle, put Worpel on the bench and hope for the best.

The game is far from over.

 

[Jethro!]

Can we just never pick CJ again to sub. Play him from the start or not at all.
Eveytime he comes on we stuff our momentum. Took off our best tackler tonight for him and we cough up stoppage goals... makes 0 sense to me.

 

[cuttlefish]

Given them waay too many opportunities through poor ball handling tonight. Just cannot compose ourselves under this pressure. Quite frustrating to watch.

 

[MinerBoy]

Do we practice hand-balling under pressure?

We nailed it in first Q before officiating went sideways

 

[Mrzohs]

Serious momentum killer the non out on the full ( Danger touch) bang two goals out to 28.

The mids have gone missing outside Nash and our key match winners Weddle and Whiz well contained.

 

[TylerDurden]

A 36 year old Dangerfield schooling us. Again.

 

[bungholes_premiers]

The result should be seen in how much chatter around us going for a big name midfielder .. if duke is held we simply cannot get it done... happened 100% of the time in our mid season slump

 

[Paul Kersey]

Fight it out Hawthorn. Opportunity presents don't hold back with a big hit either - umpires look after them so even it out a bit.
