That number 5 was crazy. Bews kicked one on the run from the boundary to take the lead. And wasn’t this the game Lindner took the kick ins and was torping it over the centre circle?
He certainly kicked one of the comeback goals with a torp from the centre. I still recall Geoff Leek commentating for ABC "Lindner ... the man who's been in Siberia all day!"
 
Scotty’s post game conference:
“They’re one of the best teams at the moment. . .As I think I’ve said a lot + I absolutely believe it. It’s not who you play, but when you play them. . .they’ve been pretty hot. . .finals like, there was some pressure. . .Especially for our young guys, it was a really good experience.”

Was at the game.

Smith, Holmes and Atkins absolutely fantastic in the middle.

Danger an absolute beast inside F50.

Bowes had one of his best games for us, was everywhere all over the field.

Dempsey everywhere as well.

Great for Cameron to get his confidence back with a solid second half.

Neale didn't impact the stats sheet but I felt did a lot of the "dirty work" - crashing packs and making contests, bringing the ball to ground for others, etc.

O Henry seemed to me to be trying too hard to do the 'team thing'. There were several times he could have taken possession, but chose to flick or tap down to a team-mate.

SDK doesn't seem to be getting the credit, but as far as I could see, he played on Thilthorpe most of the game. Kept him very quiet.

COS was beaten early IMHO, and sometimes his heavy two-way running meant he could caught out on the rebound. But fought back and kept fighting all game.

Z Guthrie takes no shizen from anybody - loved seeing him getting in a few Crows players faces.

The support cast didn't disgrace themselves, we do seem to be building the depth to not have too much left to too few.

Crows supporters were pretty good - some of them were very VERY touchy about the umpiring, but were gracious in defeat and complimentary of the Cats.

The game itself was just awesome to watch. Almost wouldn't have been too sad if we'd lost by 19 instead of won - it was a match that you just love to see live and enjoy for what it is.

Said it on the other thread but need to say it again here!

Massive win to set up Easter Monday, had we gone out of this 1-4 most of us would figure we’d be on the ropes and looking at a 2023 like year.

Missing multiple players including our best player, away from Home in front of an angry, pissed off, packed out Crows crowd, backs up against the wall and got the job done.
That’s a real old school Geelong grind it out effort.

Couldn’t be prouder, now we are 3 and 2 and sitting nicely in the 8 with a long break ahead.
Could potentially have been 5-0 if we ran out 4 quarters vs Saints and Lions but it is what it is.

Stoked about our SA crowds, always bring in huge numbers and always super loud.
Good job mate!
 
Can’t wait to get home and read all 9 pages of this thread.

What's even better, go check out the oppositions boards and almost every one of them (aside from the teams currently struggling) is the hate and animosity towards us

The Western Bulldogs fans are livid.
I guess they must have wanted pick #1 for Bailey Smith.

Tall poppy syndrome at it's finest.

If you weren't watching Fox Footy - they played a segment from 2011 when Mark Howard was interviewing a little leaguer ... Connor O'Sullivan.

 
That game was so much fun.
No matter the result.

But Dempsey should have been subbed at 1/2 time. He was horrendous.
But then if we had done that he wouldn't have upset the Croms with that "mark".

It doesn't erase the Colbert non mark but it goes towards the toll.
 
Quote from their board:

"Those pricks are good every ****ing year. Sniff playing out of his skin. The karma bus will eventually come around. Trust me."

I'll just be waiting at the bus stop then, champ.
The karma bus did come around, it was known as the "Great Rebuild Of 2023". Somehow we survived.
 
Gotta laugh. Looked at 16 out of 17 club boards, and there is a spectrum ranging from praise to begrudging acceptance of our good play and win.

Guess which team board is the odd one out, and can only talk about conspiracy theories, umpiring, our cheating, and how hard done by they are as a club. I'll give you a hint, they like to finish 9th a lot :)

F*ck me, they truly are the MAGA's of BF. Only need to extrapolate that fan base to 75 million plus, and you end up with Donald Trump as your president.

Lunatics, self obsessed, and not a shred of IQ - and no I'm not talking about Trump :p
