It was good and I loved that when Nick tried to niggle him he didn't take a backward step and Nick lost his cool and gave away the 50. I still maintain he's not a back pocket as he doesn't have the football IQ for that role but in this role tonight's the first time I felt he could be afl standard.
Nick gave away at least 2 fifties - umps should have paid the other one too.

Mullin well and truly got under his skin

I try to not get political within football threads but for a lot of today I've been thinking about my dad & 2007


My dad was a diehard Geelong supporter and he passed the love of the Blue & White onto me - even though I was born on the GC, I knew what Geelong was before I knew it where it was or moving to the area. We moved back to Geelong in 88, so dad saw the losses in 89 & 92 before he died in 93, so at least he didn't have to watch the back to back losses of 94 & 95

Being a youngster when he died we never spoke about politics, so I never knew which way he was inclined or had it influence me as I became voter age and taken my own interest in it

The first I learnt about his political ideas was the night of the 07 Federal election when my brother texted me - "Dad would have loved this year", referring to the Grand Final win and Rudd getting up


So as I said earlier, I'm not looking to turn this into a political discussion, but I do know that wherever my dad is watching from tonight that he'll be loving today and enjoying an extra beer in celebration - and that makes me happy
Well said, Cats_09!

If you're not over the moon about both results tonight, you're just not human!
 
Coaches votes will be interesting. Smith played well but Dangerfield willed your team over the line in the last quarter.

Nick Daicos MIA in the last will probably get McRae’s 5 votes.
There's a thread on Bay 13 about the coaches vote discrepancies around Daicos - worth a read!

How nice is it to get a bit of luck with umpiring? We’ve been crucified for the last couple of weeks but that certainly evened things up. I actually don’t think the umpires got much wrong tonight in hindsight, but a couple of 50/50 calls fell the cats way.
Definitely the first game we have gotten the rub of the green (outside of the last holding the ball).

Don't get me wrong, love the win and all but felt we could have played a little smarter in the last 90 seconds

Rather than long kicks to a pack and then straight back to a pack we needed to find 20m kicks and take some time off the clock - play possession footy

I'm quite sure that will all be discussed in the review though


And lastly 😂 😂 😂 to all the Collingwood fans who left with 5 minutes to go
