Right, of course! And Geelong fans were doing the COLLINGWOOD chant or doing a GEELONG chant in the same cadence? I honestly can't remember.
Maybe depends where you were sitting but it was pretty loud Ponsford end

Who the players rated... I wonder who the players rated in 22
In 09 ... I can remember thinking I thought Harry T on NR did an important role. He only kicked one goal. Max R probably highly valued for his toughness... but id think Bartel would have been given high points for being given the job to quell Hays at quarter time
Has to be Taylor.Had the good fortune of meeting one of our former premiership captains tonight. Was giving a motivational speech given for a lot of guys it is GF weekend this weekend.
Any guesses who the players had as BOG in the 2009 GF??
Listening and talking to a few players and club people, Smith or Danger were the 2 very obvious picks.
I think the Norm voting for 22 was pretty spot on, in that Smith and Danger were a toss of the coin BOG and Stengle a clear 3rd best, then a bunch just below those.

Some games you can have 12 guys mentioned ..... that game for me Danger BOG , especially after watching the replay. Maybe he need to tickle the scoreboard.
I still think if Hawk had kicked as straight as he can on a good day he might have had two Norms on his neck...yet both games he was a huge influence.
Selwood?
In thought he was great anyway.
Bartel or Rooke?
Bartel for me (as good as rooke and chapman and a few others were). In the first half when st kilda were on top he was the one that turned the tide.

The conversation started out by preaching the importance of playing your role, remember this was a pre-grand final pep talk for a local sporting club.Definitely the Q9
Very underrated in general.The conversation started out by preaching the importance of playing your role, remember this was a pre-grand final pep talk for a local sporting club.
He (Ling) then talks about 08 being lost as multiple players subconsciously went away from their role and panicked. Panicked that when we were on top we were missing shots so subconsciously lots of players tried to be the “hero”.
In 09 Josh Hunt was injured and Bomber asked James Kelly - the blue chip dependable midfielder overshadowed by others to play the small defender role. A thankless task as you can be playing well and then a mosquito forward kicks 3 in 5 minutes and you’ve had a s**t game. In the lead up to the GF he was given the role on Stephen Milne. A match up that could decide the match.
Kelly kept him quiet, and goalless. And for that his teammates state he was BOG.
Cool story. Can't say I recall this getting much attention at the time, so will be good to keep in mind for my next 2009 re-watch.The conversation started out by preaching the importance of playing your role, remember this was a pre-grand final pep talk for a local sporting club.

I did actually watch this GF in the lead up to the '22 noted and noted the above too. Not in terms of "wow Kelly was the best player on the field" but moreso "holy moly we had Kelly playing back pocket? And doing well at it?" Cause this was way before his half back move at Essendon that was more a typical flanker role. Anyway great shout and thanks for sharing.The conversation started out by preaching the importance of playing your role, remember this was a pre-grand final pep talk for a local sporting club.

Sad to read that Todd. Hope things are better for you nowThey all have a special place in my heart. Despite only being successful in the ballot for last year I was lucky enough to get tickets to all 4.
2022 came during a very rough time for me personally which with any luck, will be turning in the next few weeks. This lead to me really needing something positive in my life and boy did the club deliver. A lot of emotion burst out of me on that day and still does when watching any replays
This game also was the most fun in the crowd. Our bay in front of the scoreboard was amazing after every goal and I'm convinced the Geeeeelloooooooong chant you can hear on the replay after each goal was from us
2007 by the length of the straight.
Its easily forgotten we were a laughing stock of the league prior to that.
