Sam Mitchell the master coach who thinks he can recruit & prepare for finals at the same time.

staggering arrogance

Look at their list... he poaches better than he coaches. It is the same as their last tilt at the flag... they just steal talent from other clubs. It is actually pathetic.

staggering arrogance

Complete w***er, and a little embarrassing his big coaching move was to put Nick Watson into the back pocket. Yeah... good one.

 

[sleep]

Axel broke Newcs

U can bring in Merrertt and Trac

We get Butters


Hawfs 3 steps behind

 

[Aristotle Pickett the3rd]

Wizard to the back line

Lol. Yeah genius move that made a lot of sense!

 

[Pies No 1]

People are being a bit harsh on the Hawks imo. Going back 100 years in AFL it seems pretty uncommon that the Premiership winner is a team that has not sat in the top part of the ladder for a few years. Also the reason Adelaide and Gold Coast got knocked out pretty quick.

Takes years of finals experience, heartbreak to galvanize and strengthen a team, and being able to play under that kind of pressure. The remaining teams - Geelong, Pies, Lions have been playing finals for the past 5 to 10 years consistently, and all of them have won grand finals in the past 5 years so it's no surprise they are all here at this point. Hawks next step will be to make top 4 in the next 1 to 2 years.

Just need replace Dangerfield with Reid and away we go again

 

[The Casey Cat]

Geez handbag fans are arrogant, trying to justify the softest run home the competitions ever seen.

Not surprising though, Max Holmes the smug campaigner said after a round 11 win over the Dogs, ‘Well that’s finals locked in for us now’.
He knew how soft the draw home was as much as the rest of the footy world did, yet Cats fans argue against it with rubbish like Sydney were the form team of the competition when we played them
Astonishing really

They won’t have been tested like they will be tomorrow night, in months.

Turns out we had right to be ay?

 

[Aristotle Pickett the3rd]

Sam Mitchell the master coach who thinks he can recruit & prepare for finals at the same time.

Spot on.

 

[Hoops]

here come the Richmond supporters and their injury trolling

They really are scum of the earth

 

[Hoops]

It's karma mate and you know it. I will say that Dangerfield is a legendary player and quality man.

Karma, stop the BS. Do you see cat supporters carrying on like that with Nash.

 

[catsfootyfan89]

SEVEN Grand Finals appearances in 18 years. SEVEN.

Geelong are clearly the greatest team of the modern era and it's not even close.

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

Sam Mitchell the master coach who thinks he can recruit & prepare for finals at the same time.

He might need to have another dinner with Zac Merret after tonight

 

[Aristotle Pickett the3rd]

have a sip...

Mate no matter how much money , or lawyers you have, the rules clearly stipulate that Ton Stewart cannot play next week.
You need to deal with that and move on.

 

[sleep]

Tanner Bruhn in for Stewart next week?

Enjoy ur shit life

 

[Aristotle Pickett the3rd]

Karma, stop the BS. Do you see cat supporters carrying on like that with Nash.

Stewart is a proven thuggish player. Look at his tribunal record.

 

[Jimmy Yamazaki]

Great win, especially to fight back after that shaky start.

 

[FreoRicci]

Look at their list... he poaches better than he coaches. It is the same as their last tilt at the flag... they just steal talent from other clubs. It is actually pathetic.

He was coached by Clarkson.

Who managed to snag Lake, Gibson, Gunston, Guerra, Hale, McEvoy.

He’s only trying to win for his club

 

[My Tilly]

Mate no matter how much money , or lawyers you have, the rules clearly stipulate that Ton Stewart cannot play next week.
You need to deal with that and move on.

We play alright without him actually.
3-1 this year and we certainly didn't miss his output tonight.

As good as Tom has been, 32 years of age, his days are numbered.

O'Sullivan & De Koning are going to forge a formidable partnership for the next decade.

 

[Jim Prideaux]

Congratulations Geelong, too fast later in the game. You guys earned a week off and deserve the win. You overcame early adversity to take it.

This hurts, I hope we can return the favour next year.

Stewart is a proven thuggish player. Look at his tribunal record.

Unstable. If anyone knows him personally, help him

 

[The Casey Cat]

Absolutely hate Geelong.

Can hate who and whatever you like. Should be able to be an adult about things and give credit where it's due. Instead you and the other Tig supporting 'CFL' nuffies give embarrassing nonsense.

 

[wilsonmatic]

Yep. We need someone who can tackle, break tackles, and get the ball. Newk cant do it on his own.

Petracca over Merrett for mine. If he passes his physical.

No offence but can't see Trac wanting to play with a bunch of tosspots like the Hawks. Probably the most unlikeable team in the comp this year.
