Review Geelong defeat Hawks "when it matters" by 6 goals to make another Grand Final

[frggr]

Dangerfield seemed oddly emotional during that.

I just dunno what to say.
So happy for my kid to watch that win.

Your kid didn't learn some new and inventive words during that shocking first quarter did they?

Oish on KROCK LOL

Get the translators out.

GO Catters

Huge credit to Jhye Clark. I've had doubts previously but he really stood up in some big moments when we were against the wall tonight.

Respect to the Hawks

He knows this is probably his last chance to win a flag and his only chance to be flag captain.

My entire estate did

His gain is Ollie's loss. Will he a hard week for Ollie watching his brother again.

Who do we bring in though? Unsure if Stanley would be fit. Other than him, who?

Apart from that one crossfield kick he was super. He still doesnt have the engine for 4 quarters or the body size but hes a class player he just needs time.

Being old Navy, my kids were born with these words in their vocabulary

Sounded like Rhys was pretty close like Max in 2022. Him in for Stewart, Blitz helps out down back when needed

Exactly. Thought he was impressive outside of that one turnover

Geez there's be some fist-shaped dents in keyboards in Footscray tonight.....

Think we found footage of how some in Footscray are reacting to Bailey’s performance:

 

[SA HAWK]

Simply too good for us couldn’t handle your pressure.

Dangerfield just ridiculous.

Shit that Stewart will miss AFL need to change the bye week.

 

[Limdale]

A couple years ago I remember Kane Cornes saying that PFD needed to drop a few kilos to prolong his career. At the time I agreed with that sentiment. Not tonight! What a bull!

 

[supahoops]

That was one of the best games danger has played in a cats jumper and hes played some amazing ones.
Props to him and miers as well as Holmes for getting us back into it.
Atkins immense top and Clark showed how good he can be.

I think Brisbane are full of injuries and we are better than pies.
But no stewart worries me. Sdk cos and mullin really have an error or three in them and Henry wont be 100 % if he plays.
The safe option is stanley to ruck and blitz behind the ball.
But do they go Duncan or bews in instead? They like those experienced distributors behind the ball so i wonder if that gives Duncan a chance or bews (for someone like Elliot or Cameron).
It would be ironic if Jack didnt get up and we brought his brother in in his place (poor Ollie will miss again). But I think if he's at 90 % fit he has to play-structurally it isolates Connor too much otherwise (although if you free up blitz it helps).

We just have to win this to cap this era. For guys like danger (old guys) this is probably their last chance (and stewart may have missed his last chance). Cannot let this go.

We need to play far better than we did tonight but hopefully we wont play that bad 2 weeks in a row.

Stanley for Stewart. Done.
Can’t believe Duncan’s name is getting mentioned.

 

[allrighty]

Also as much as we have the big names in have a feeling miers will be most important player in this GF.

He is top 3 most important for us every game. That's why the oppo always try to shut him down.

WEKILTDEMFARKING !!!

I dont think you can bring a kid in against Brisbane or Collingwood it has to be an experienced player. You either go stanley so blitz or sdk can be back all game or you look at Duncan in the quarterback role or bews (which releases zuthrie to that role). I think it has to be one of those 3. I think Scott showed his hand saying stanley is best 22. If the hammy is right I think its him.

Clark was probably odds on to be dropped but that game books him a GF spot. I wonder if he starts or is sub (depends who you bring in as eg stanley wont be sub but bews or Duncan could be) although I'm not sure if Clark can run out a full game.

Jack Henry has to play or it exposes us down back (even if stanley is back).

Was listed as an emergency for tonight so....maybe a good sign?

He opens the field up as you saw in the middle of the game. It gets our run going.

 

[Spearman]

Dangerfield is such a powerful force in tight. Hate to have to depend so much on a single player sometimes, but GAWD-DAM.
Smith was really Gee-ed up. Atkins again showed why he is IMHO the shadow captain, got in there quickly kept him focused on the playing the important game, not the other game.
Dam I thought Neale might bust out after his goal. Still worked hard, but...
Dekoning, good game. Other usual suspects in defense as well.
Mannagh and Abby Holmes? Seriously dude is living the dream, and boy can he network.
Good to see Stengle have a good game.
A couple Hawks disappeared this week...can't wait to find out who did the jobs.

Another Friday game having to watch furtively at work. Can't wait to watch the replay and catch all the details I missed.

love that the biggest melts have been from 17thmond supporters and not Hawfies

Yeah I think its stanley unless we were playing ducks and drakes and he was injured.
