Report: Virus swept through Geelong playing group ahead of preliminary final
The Cats were reportedly concerned over the possibility of numerous late changes.www.sen.com.au
Hope it's a close one.Grand final should be a ripper.
The contrast of Demons back in running with same three guns in midfield of Viney, Petracca and Oliver and proper gun rucks v Dogs that have deepest pool of quality midfielders and coach does not really believe in rucks. Going to be really interesting. Looking forward to how it plays out.Hope it's a close one.
12 goals - there's one I missed..........
I know the feeling.
I waited an entire off season and saw my team dish up crap like that most weeks
Think people don't understand dogs defence -- they protect 40 metres form goal better than anyone and the mids make sure you can't run .. simple game plan stands up --Think it will be a ripper…
I’m calling a draw…
Extra time…
If not for Dora and my Carlton mad mother's side of the family I'd be a Bulldogs fan. Fond memories of Mum helping the Dogs get the Dog's Care for Kids (in school education program) program get off the ground.
Our school doing the Aussie Sports program in Braybrook where Doug Hawkins worked when he tore his hammy and Mum being the big footy fan she was refused to ler him run her classes so got him to sit and direct her from the sidelines.
Then when he worked at Sportsco at Altona Gate (Rod Grinter and a couple others worked there too) he'd run out of the store yellijng "Teacher!" when he saw us going to kmart and give her a massive hug.
Inbetween all that when Doug broke Teddy's record for games played at the Dogs I remember being a naive kid and laughing at Doug for crying. Dad was a WW2 victim and emotionally cold, rarely showing emotion.
Mum took me into SportsCo after school one day the next week and sat me down with Doug. She made me ask Doug why he cried and tell him what I thought. He spent the next 15 minutes explaining why it was acceptable and normal for man to cry.
I remember my school and all of the people rallying for the Footscray Fightback campaign as every school did in the western suburbs and so many Westies did out in the community.
So yeah, when the Dogs do something like they did tonight there's a big part of me that is bloody proud and happy of the Dogs.
Regardless of who your natural team is if you were born and raised in the west there's a part of you in the Dogs today.
Congrats Footscray. What a sweet night for the mighty west.
I think my point is, across the many finals we've played since say the late sixties, we haven't been belted too often - the point of my point is lost on me however

Good story mate, Doug was working on a site I was doing some work at a few years ago, he asked me and my work mate to move our car, when he walked off, I nudged the apprentice, what a legend I said, he just stared at me, who he says, Dougie I told him, who’s Dougie.
I’m not even 10 years older than this guy, couldn’t believe it.
My mates in the west are super pumped today, as a neutral I’ll be sad for whoever loses this one.
