AFL Grand Final AFL Grand Final Game Day Thread

[The hands of stone]

LOL, Chris Scott's presser is hilarious...'There were at least 33 hundred things that went against us this year...nah, I'm not gonna say what they were...but there were at least 75 hundred things that went against us.'

Here you go mate.

What does he want to play North, West Coast and Richmond 4 times each next session ??

Its all self inflicted and thats what happens when you recuit players with off field challenges

 

[Hillbot2000]

I know they made a grand final but I'm not sold on the merit of the Cat's strategy of running 3 hard tags every week...

Thank Christ for Chris Fagan and his team.

Imagine a world without them.
Cats back to back!

My second team forever now.

Two years ago David King said the Lions should replace Fages with Chris Scott

to get them over the line.
One of his greatest calls in a career full of dog sh!t.

Sometimes I love footy.

It works really well when the Cats midfield is beating you up and the game is on their terms. Hell, it worked three weeks ago against Brisbane.

Fagan adjusted for it, the Brisbane mids torched the Cats mids, and suddenly you have three impotent players because the game isn't on your terms.

 

[The Seaword]

The geelong board is very entertaining

Upset that Brisbane are the afl’s love child

Eating their own

All the “adversity” they had this year

Brilliant

You can’t tag brisbane. Every player is a gun

Ashcroft just runs around doing whatever he wants. Such a deep midfield. Talent everywhere.

 

[Ned Ryerson]

Need to get a welfare check for Catman, and while they’re there check his hard drives too

 

[Ned Ryerson]

I do wonder if Bruest had not had that horrific injury in the VFL if we would have used him as the sub in the Prelim.

No. Wonder no more.

 

[extractasam]

54 games in two years for Brisbane is crazy. Played every final weekend 2 years in a row

 

[Ned Ryerson]

With all the prelims and Grand Finals that Chris Scott has lost, I swear not enough is made about how his Geelong team are the greatest anti-dynasty.

They’re more whineasty than dynasty.

 

[kazzooka]

Wow

They win and he's brave and a hero. They lose and it's selfish and cost them. He had an okay game but was far from his best. I didn't notice him being affected by it though, likely due to the pain killers.

 

[Ned Ryerson]

Eating their own

This is inevitable whenever they lose a final - it’s what makes their autopsy threads so delicious.

He’s doing worse than I expected

 

[kazzooka]

Cats had ample opportunity to sub out Cameron. Scott was crapping on in the presser about them not knowing if it was a break or not. Does it really matter? Bottom line is if it's so painful that it seriously impairs him doing his job, sub him out and get a fit player on the field. He only has himself to blame for not subbing him out when he had the chance. By the time it was patently obvious he couldn't do anything useful they'd already made a tactical sub. Nothing more than poor decision making from the coach.

Hard to make that call in the box. Jeremy Cameron needs to make that call and the doctors should be testing him out. Or really, why don't we have an medical room at all grounds with some equipment. portable X-ray and Ultrasound machine's aren't that expensive. They aren't perfect but if you want to rule out a broken bone they'll do the job.

Chris Scott hasn't really earned anything. Flag in year 1 when handed over a dominant roided up side. And the flag in 2022 is only possible due to Hawthorn influence by Isaac Smith.

Since our 3 peat NO side has won the flag without recruiting IP and talent from Hawthorn. All 10 of them have had to rely on some influence from us to get a premiership.

 

[cryptor]

Chris Sook's post game presser is best enjoyed with a whiskey. Real embarrassing stuff from him. Love it

 

[kazzooka]

He’s doing worse than I expected

Successful and elite??

Only 4x flags in the last 60+ years. 1 in the last 14 seasons.

What the hell are these Geelong people on?

That haven't been successful, they have been success adjacent.

Since 2011 they have won the same amount of flags as West Coast, Bulldogs, Melbourne and Collingwood. While 3x teams have won more than them.

 

[kazzooka]

Catprick Danglerflop has the worst finals record of any player in history that has won at least one premiership.

30 finals for 1 premiership. Beautiful.

2x Leon Davis medals from 3x grand finals for him now too. More than Gary Rohan and Kurt Tippet.

Is this satire or is this flog actually this mentally ill? Send someone around to neuter him, either way.

A grown man attends every football game in face paint with wig, cat ears, fake teeth and geelong themed suit and you have the audacity to question if he's mentally ill?

 

[Roddy]

I honestly don't know how the pussies manage it. They have everything they need fall into their lap, they have the umps in their back pocket, but can still only manage one single flag in the last decade and a half. And that was against the perennial GF chokers (who've lost no fewer than six in the AFL era).

If we had everything go our way like they do, we'd be on 20 flags by now.

In my defence I did say 'THIS mentally ill,' which sort of implies I was already aware he was at least a little bit on the grippy sock side.

 

[MasterSamurai]

They know they can't win flags in the future so that geriatric flog Colin Carter wants VFA flags where no real points were given to be counted towards their premiership count! **** off!! How about we count from 1982 when the game took its first steps to been national comp with south becoming Sydney? Oh yea, that wouldn't go down well with the mighty Hawks on 9!!!!!!
