Great game but actually Hawks were 6-7 goals for the vast majority of the game. It was only the last 15 it got crazy exciting but definitely up there. Last year was tight the whole way and the standard was unbelievable
Ok, both my team and yours aren’t going amazing (ours much worse).
I hate Collingwood BUT
Until 2023, the best standard of footy in a GF I had seen live was 2011. Didn’t end well for you blokes but what a great game.
2023 GF tops it. The best footy ever in a granny.
Along with 1989, 1979...
Stranger things have happened than us rising up the ladder in 2024.
Nothing would surprise me - including a top 4 finish.
Collingwood’s 2022-23 run was more incongruous than us rising up the ladder this year.
People forget what a joke they were.
I agree the AFL have a role to play - they are...
The Buddy vs Rance battles were incredible. Although we were still no good, I used to love going to those games to watch them go toe to toe. Buddy elevated Rance’s game and that rivalry reminded me of the Carey/Jakovich battles through the 90’s.
He was the reason you beat us last year at the SCG, i hated him but loved him at the same time.
His likeability factor is off the charts which puts him above other like Duck who’s arrogance rankled at times
This is just a quick post as a shout out to an all time great of the game.
I refuse to bend to the media narrative at the best of times but no more than now - we should be celebrating an all time great of the game on and off field.
He’s a once a generation talent and will remain as a great -...
“Then it got to 2021 and we found a way to beat Richmond. There's a way you can't play them in our view, we found a way and then we beat them a couple of times that year and ticked that box.”

This was Chris Scott in the lead up to round 1 this year.
Wonder why the media didn’t...
Both clubs have been through tough times and both appear to be transitioning into power clubs.
Blues - a strong spine with Charlie Curnow fit, one key defender short but they have options. Midfield although lacking a fraction of depth now looks potent with the addition of Cerra. Sam Walsh...
Yes if only the wives and partners of Eagles players who have died, ended up in jail or remain disaffected post football were as brave as Brooke, the Eagles might be held more accountable for their disgraceful lack of care through that period early in the 2000’s.
Good thread :rolleyes:
Read all 31 pages.
Some funny stuff, some good insight but mainly drivel.
It’s kind of ironic, the drivellers that is. Making judgement on others while posting stuff - either made up or copied and pasted from stuff that is clearly made up - and then using it to form...
He just swore on air during the Stars vs Sixers game.
Not a big deal as he said “s**t” but FFS, can’t we expect a base level of professionalism from him?
The inane ramblings, the constant speaking in cliches and the elongated, going round in circles questioning are bad enough but now he can’t...
Yep. I was wwwrrrroong!
All hail the messiah!
I do think young Noah was massive on Tomahawk and let’s not forget how huge our backline was defending that second quarter blitz by the Cats.
But, the great man did it again.
Grimes is.
Like Alex Rance did in 2017, Grimes is the man who will put the Cats forward line under pressure to score.
The second quarter of that home and away game saw Geelong dominate i50 with 12 to 3 from early in the 2nd Q and Danger at FF for a large part of that quarter but they scored a...
Firstly, good luck on Saturday lads/ladettes
A big game indeed and one I hope we win.
A lot is being made of Gaz and Harry retiring on a flag but what of our captain?
I know he has 2 years on his contract but it didn’t stop Rance and he did state - albeit many years ago - that he might retire...
you are spot on.
They are the incoherent ramblings of a man who is in constant fear of losing his job.
It’s the first time he’s missed a shift on The Front Bar. This could only be because he would deep down know that possibly, quite possibly, the show might be ok without him.
I watched The Front Bar this week and gee it was good.
Funny, vibrant and seemed to have a freshness to it despite the lame onion joke getting rolled out.
Importantly, it’s anchor didn’t meander through the show like a boat anchor.
Just trying to pin point the difference ....
Well, I must admit to falling victim to my mates black heart mentality yesterday. We both rolled in our miserable lack of faith together like 2 dogs on heat at a local park in the warm spring sunshine.
But, at half time, while a little nervous I knew we’d win the game.
We’re just the better team...

This coming from a bloke who stood over and berated Sydney Stack after tackling him to the ground when we played them a couple of weeks ago.
Mitchie would be an expert...
