Not uncommon - look at Swans seasonal free kicks for - way down the list.

But Don't argue with me...argue with the 27 other posters who believe it was generally s**t.
Not arguing it wasn't generally shit. Arguing that Geelong got some huge advantage from the umpiring. Ridiculous. Zero effect on the game whatsoever.

Correction: such an un-Sydney home and away performance.

A very Sydney GF performance unfortunately.

Credit to Geelong though, they were extraordinarily sharp all game and not sure anyone would have matched them (though I don’t doubt others would have got closer than we did on the day).

Second out of 5 since 2000 that we’ve been uncompetitive - Melbourne would KILL for that sort of record.

Now we await the "oh they were the best team and we smashed them" argument instead of "oh another interstate team didn't turn up to the MCG" argument that Hawthorn faced in the threepeat :p
Geelong will always be the ones with the huge asterisks next to their name with their home ground advantage. Guaranteed top 4 every year with a Victorian fixture and the home ground advantage of an interstate team. There’s a reason 33+ year olds are still running around like teens
 
The standard of teams was very low this year

Honestly, in any other year this Sydney team would have been considered 'one to watch for next year' that had a good year and showed lots of potential. But never would you expect to see a team of that level to be playing in a GF.

The result this afternoon simply reflected that. The oldest team ever, just best the second best team in the comp by 15 goals.


It just is what it is.
