Credit to Richmond I thought they'd disintegrate after last week.
Yeah, looks like they've come out well considering the pain from last week
Pies did this versus Giants last week too. Expect a quick GWS start at Q2 i'd say

Plenty of time left in this one, Giants could easily romp it home from here on.

They're not good enough to do that, people just think they are.

Reading between the lines it would indicate Liberatore's off field issues may have surfaced again...
Saturday, 20 May 2017
Bulldogs coach Luke Beveridge throws down the challenge Tom Liberatore to reclaim his place in the senior side after being dropped.
"Tom, I think, may not be as physically prepared as he was last year," Beveridge told SEN radio.
"I think it's got to do with … that legacy after winning a premiership.
"He understands part of the reasoning. His challenge now is to get himself back to physical capability to play the game.
"At the moment it's more of a stoppage-to-stoppage view from Tommy, (but) he's got so much more to offer. His very best footy can really influence games.
"It may well be a circuit-breaker. Sometimes going back to the VFL allows a player to free themselves up a little bit as well."

Minor quibble
When someone takes a mark but the umpire plucks out a free kick in the marking contest to a team mate - why doesn't the mark stand? Can't it just be an advantage mark?
Because the bloke takes the mark, goes to play or on or dispose of it and the umpire blows the whistle to stop play and get the free kick recipient to take it. Wastes time, stops momentum. They'd be better off without the free.

This season needs to be tested for drugs.
Also Skilled Stadium capacity now seems to be 30,000 (given the crowd last night of 30,275) no way is that big enough for a final.

I've asked myself the same thing plenty of times.

GWS are clearly ripe for the plucking, but Richmond being Richmond. In the second, they gave GWS their goals and kicked points with their own shots. I couldn't help thinking as they kept kicking points that they have lost the game right there. I hope I'm wrong.

The Geelong mafia are hoping to pitch for Skilled finals by 2020, when they want a capacity >40,000.
Give the choice of who takes the kick to the players. e.g. Tex takes the mark 50m out but CC(for example)was held in the marking contest. Who do we want taking the kick?
GWS are poorly coached.
In both structures and teaching footy IQ to their players.
It is their raw talent and strong bodies that has them where they are.

Agreed.
People, myself included, talked about how our attitude and how teams may have worked us out. Well the Giants are going through similar issues with twice the talent.
We do have the edge in the coaches chair IMO

Didn't think it'd happen so quickly, but the calls that they were done were ridiculously misguided IMO. Core was still there, just underperforming and a heap of injuries meant kids were getting exposed early. Long term they'll actually be better for it and now guys like JPK, Hannebery are playing better than they were at the start of the year, Rampe, Reid and Heeney are back and they've getting games into guys like Hayward, Newman, Florent etc.

yep, the Costa brothers headed by Frank have just tipped in another cool $3 Mill to make that happen, the new Football facility named "the Costa Brothers Football, Training and Administration Centre"....He wants Geelong to have teams in the AFL, AFLW, Big Bash, A League all using it as their home ground.
Didn't he also say they would sell a home game to Port in China for $1m?

The reality is its a country ground. There is only so much you can do with a limited population. The odd Big Bash or A League game, yes it can work but anything long term simply won't. You have to have a mass market at their disposal. Geelong only have a population of 240,000. It's unlikely he will get enough punters through the gates to make any Bash Club or A League club viable.
Oh dear. Richmond.
