You’re a donkey,
The Current coach and Thompson agree
If it did, we'd be shoo-ins and Collingwood, Adelaide and Gold Coast would be stuffed.

So impressed by Miers first half. Such a playmaker. More Iniesta than Messi. Such quick hands, quick feet, quick mind.
I think he still has a year in him even if it’s just depth
That said I think had we gone to the tribunal we would have gotten Neale off, and there was less in Stewarts contact then in Neales.

A game of 2 halves for me. In the first half, Geelong played at high intensity, were so clinical and brutal. In the second half, they put the cue in the rack and played in survival mode to ensure they got through the game injury free.
Zach Tuohy just now on K-Rock about the second half.
"I can safely say they do not give a rat's arse. They are primed."

Hard to assess anything from that game as the second half was just save yourself for the finals.
I get it that we were enough in front to do that and took our foot off the pedal; the issue though is the backline is under a lot of pressure while everyone else has a fat old time with their feet up.
Thought Miers was good in the first half, then got an accidental head knock. Stewart back to his intercepting best. Really liked how his judgment looked back.
I guess main concern is no injuries. Crossing my fingers on Stewart and his collision with Rioli, however, if he’s gone for that our competition is $&#*^+.

Haven’t seen the Stewart incident. Only two questions that matter are:
1. Did he elect to bump?
2. Did he make high contact?
Don’t bother with “nothing in it” etc. These questions is how it will be decided.

I'm not saying it will have a significant bearing but I would be surprised if the coaching staff would be overly satisfied with today's performance.
We missed a lot of regulation targets by hand and foot in the first half and over possessed on numerous occasions and got ourselves into trouble.
The first half was a 6/10 performance at best. I don't care one iota about who our opposition was, we were not sharp.

Stewart quite literally had or was a split second away from having his hand on the ball. Dopey Richmond bloke T-boned him.
Zouz Kitty I recommend listening to Zach's smooth reassurances and having some chamomile tea. It should get you right back to level.

Danger said it was a little bit concerning but they got the job done. They looked to me like running out of legs, so I hope that's only related to motivation, as you all seem to be suggesting. Although I fail to see how an entire team can take their collective foot off the pedal just to conserve energy and health. Doesn't feel like a Scott directive to me.
Sully in particular made consecutive rookie mistakes in that last quarter, and that's the elephant in the room, like it or not. Our defence tapered off severely. If it's the case of not giving a rats, then Knevitt should have come on much earlier, so they are not serious about him getting a finals run, unless ICE.
You can be grateful for the win, and the well earned ladder position, without being apathetic about letting the easy beats off the chain. Now, we go out to kill for a full four quarters.
This guy has NFI. As much as I rate Bews, you can't look at O'Connor's game last week on Heeney and still want to select Bews over him. There's some kind of personal animus there, I think.
More worried that Ralphy is listening to the tape
If Steward said he didn't see him
May be interpreted as a racial slur
Get suspended for entire final series
I believe my first thought when I saw he was suspended was "What the **** for?"

Yeah that's insane. Bews vs Bowes is a closer run thing but they'll go Bowes as sub given he's more versatile.
