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

[Mattlock]

He definitely fell upwards didn't he?

Absolutely. But he has been durable as hell since coming in. Kudos!

 

[frggr]

Blicavs, Dangerfield, Atkins and Stengle were outstanding

 

[JeffM]

Even sweeter by kncoking out the Hawks when it matters - A Prelim Win in front of 99567. Unreal

It’s so bloody fantastic that line can’t be used against us anymore as a taunt.

 

[Cursed Cat]

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

When they gave up 72 i50s to GWS I said if they give up that many to us, we win easy.

I guess only getting 66 made it slightly less than easy

Jai Newcombe was only the 19th ranked player on the ground tonight. Amazing what happens when he plays a final against an opponent who is actually good.

I don't even care about the Grand Final. Beating the scum in the Prelim is a season-highlight for me.

Yeah the flag will be a nice cherry though hey

 

[Jimmy Yamazaki]

Finally beat them in an elimination final.

Back into the granny where we belong!

GO GEELONG

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

It is but also we let them kick some goals we shouldn't have allowed. Gotta tighten up.

 

[adamgreen]

Never in doubt.

 

[BotsMaster]

I can breathe again

 

[dazbroncos]

Respect to the Hawks too.... they pushed us all the way.
This is THE RIVAVLRY in the AFL

Nah can't have brisbane b2b and can't have the Collingwood chant. Must win.

 

[Geelong_Sicko]

Look at the smile on Max's face.

Stewart's (2022 Premiership Player) heartbreak story this year would be at least partially offset should Max Holmes become a Premiership Player.

 

[juzcat]

Sign Danger to a 5 year extension now!

Paddy saying Henry just had a dead foot

 

[Pure_Ownage]

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

 

[Footy Smarts]

I didn't think this team had that burst at the end of the 2nd and start of the 3rd in them. Absolutely ridiculous footy. Very reminiscent of the 2011 QF when we put the Hawks away in 5 minutes.

I always worry with Henry and foot injuries.

We have the burst in offence and the best offence in the comp but our back 6 defence is not as good as we were in 2011. We need the pressure from the midfield (like we brought against bris) to protect the defence. If we can do that we will win it but stewart is a huge loss.
