Melbourne mate of mine said that was the best he’s seen them play - ever. PS Love Zach Guthrie and should be in the 22 every week. On iPhone using BigFooty.com mobile app

Really poignant insight… sigh… On iPhone using BigFooty.com mobile app

This is a great summary and thanks for cutting the video (and removing the commentary (BT and Bruce are terrible!) - I know it takes a lot of time to do this! That was really painful to watch, though...

I agree 100% and it begs the question, "Why isn't it a top priority??!" Who is deciding that?

This is the key. I'm very interested in psychology and have read a lot on the subject as well as observed a lot in my adult life. There are mental scars now, from defeats to Richmond in 17/19/20 finals which are not going to be easy to fix! The drop off after HT was, IMO, mostly mental, but not...

I remember that game well! It was just surreal. Only time I have ever left a game at 3/4 time!! On iPhone using BigFooty.com mobile app

I was at all of these. 1. 2008 GF v Hawthorn (weird day with warm weather and playing different version of the song before the game. Knew something wasn't right, then we imploded... #1 because against Hawks [emoji21]) 2. 1992 GF v West Coast (my first GF. 4 goals up mid-2nd qtr but they got...

Great assessment!! [emoji1474] On iPhone using BigFooty.com mobile app

Ha ha - I walked home with the kids as that way we could avoid any nufties. They still have to face the "real" Caddy (aka Chocolate Soldier) as well in the Prelim... On iPhone using BigFooty.com mobile app

Spot on - all the work done by Bomber to develop the "Geelong Way" has gone by-the-wayside. It took several years to create that. It will take years to create it again. Scott has time and time again been shown up tactically on match day (usually in finals). The decision to extend his contract...

Same as Harry T a couple of years back. He really has just been ordinary the last two years, despite being one of the highest paid at the Club... On iPhone using BigFooty.com mobile app

Really great post. You've captured exactly what I feel and have felt since that Prelim loss last year... On iPhone using BigFooty.com mobile app

Really great observation! It has been happening for a while and is just so frustrating!! How can that awareness be taught? Our back line from the dominant years had a cohesion about it which is really lacking now. I have to say also that Harry is one of the chief protagonists when it comes to...

It's disgraceful. I wonder how Joel and Danger feel when they see him squib when he needs to attack the pill and win it... On iPhone using BigFooty.com mobile app

How long can this fairytale last?! If someone doesn't perform, they have to be dropped!!! Black was incredibly unlucky to go out before this game. Blicavs must be dropped next week. On iPhone using BigFooty.com mobile app

My kids actually laugh whenever he gets the ball and makes a mistake (which is often!) because they know how much I detest him. How he is still on the list is one of life's great mysteries. Must have incriminating photos of the coach... He is the modern day Shannon Byrnes. At least Shannon...

Great doco recently on the Leylands. Australian Story on ABC. The brothers had a big falling-out after the show finished (over money). Mal ended up bankrupt after they had been millionaires... A failed theme park venture. Mike later suffered from Parkinson's disease and they never properly made...

Brilliant work YOTC - particularly liked the use of the different audio sources to find the best particular commentary. Wonder if Gerard was waving at (Wan)King during the game in the adjoining booth? :D

The GF is not such a problem - the Prelim (Geel v WC) IS :mad:… I live in Germany. According to the schedules at this stage, it looks like it’s not on ESPN UK (more important to show some 30 minute sports wrap-up shows followed by a replay of a Serie A match :confused:, Eurosport 2 is only...

Re: 2nd Qualifying Final Autopsy Thread - Geelong defeated Hawthorn by 31 points. Have watched the replay a few times - he could have actually run another 5 - 10m closer and dribbled it through. In fairness though, he was absolutely rooted. Loved the J.Lewis rub-it-in straight after -...

Re: 2nd Qualifying Final Autopsy Thread - Geelong defeated Hawthorn by 31 points. Could you slip Carlton in there, perhaps? ;)

He’s a natural. Great decision-making under pressure and now in a final as well. The side-step and quick dish to Selwood before Hawkins’ goal in the 3rd was brilliance. He’d just about become my favourite player!

True - and as a result, after being exposed by WC in the 92GF, he attempted to address this in '93 by changing the game-plan to incorporate a more defensive focus. However, after 4 years of playing the "Blight Way", the players struggled to adapt and the first half of the season was very...

Was that the same game (at the SCG in 87) when Lindner bombed a goal out of the centre and we stormed home and won? Sydney were in the midst of their good years under Hafey, some may recall. Will always remember in that 89 GF, 2nd quarter, on the wing, he screwed the ball (on his left foot...

Don't forget the time difference - the start of the 3rd quarter was about 9pm EST - no wonder he was hungry! I'm hungry just thinking about it, and I've just had my dinner! :D

:D:D Perfectly described. In the State game, Chappy passed the ball to him on the 50, he marked, Chappy ran on and was on his own about 35 out, but Fev didn't see him as his back was to the goal! Chappy stood there (Fev kicked the goal - it was a top kick - no doubting his talent) but PC...

Were you switched on or off v. us?

Re: Stokes and Brynes overhead contests/marks The Age has a slideshow of the game and there was a picture of SB with a caption underneath that called him "Matthew Burns" :D:D

I agree with this that there is much more to be gained by allowing players to play than by being "negative" and just trying to clog our forward line. I also believe that Essendon weren't disgraced in any way - they had a dip (the Umps were also terrible in the 2nd half against the B's), which...

It was 87 night series - pretty sure he kicked 7. The Ablett bootleg video shows just about all of them. He seemed to be able to roost the yellow sherrin further, for some reason.
