Review Geelong defeat Hawks "when it matters" by 6 goals to make another Grand Final

[Munich]

How does one get into the post GF celebrations at KP (if we win of course)

 

[UnitedWarrior93]

It most definitely has. I was at the game and couldn't believe we were drowning out the Hawks fans at stages.

I'm glad you pointed out our sustained success as being the catalyst. This is why I disagree when people say that we've made so many prelims yet its all for nothing without more flags.

Its not all for nothing, as we are seeing, staying up the top is what grows a club. We couldn't compete without support from members and what builds a supporter base? Always being in a position to contend.

We can just about go toe-to-toe with crowd support at the G against the 'traditional' big vic clubs. Go back 20 years, and our crowd would've been swarmed and drowned out by Hawthorn. I think we have around 93k members, more than the Hawks, and last night we were as loud as ever!!!

Yes we have a bigger membership yet Hawthorn were in our Geelong bays. And took up a fair chunk of the one I was in.

Crazy thing with that photo is Baz could be lining up against Daicos next week!!!!

 

[Mangy Carl]

So how many weeks should Chol get?

He really 'shouldn't' be suspended for that tackle.. God knows how it wasn't an In the back free though.
He will likely get 3 weeks though, due to the concussion

Some of the umpiring last night was atrocious. Had to have been 8-10 blatant hold the ball/dropping the ball decisions not paid to us, then Dylan Moore would get the footy, duck/shrug every contest and get 5 free kicks for too high..

And some of the salty people suggested we got an armchair ride from the umps.

Watching the replay.

Do we really want Worpel. He looks shithouse.

 

[CabWesty]

Shoutout to Gryan and his development. The man oozes silk and sees the game in a different way. Some of his highlights last night were next level

Those dinky little chip kicks. Sometimes he gets them to float and hang, other times he's firing bullets onto chests.

GET PATRICK DANGERFIELD UP HERE!

WHEN IT MATTERS!

Get him up here, I wanna boof him!

 

[AlcoaCat]

I always worry with Henry and foot injuries.

He was definitely hampered.

Time for the AFL to bring in Red Cards
Two games we have gone done a player in the first quarter against the hawks because of inappropriate actions by their scum players. The suspensions dont help the game the players are in. Chol was looking to take legs out, the tackles on Danger and Smith were ridiculous. And if the maggots paid frees against Mac and Guthire v Lions, then the dumps of Danger and Smith were ridiculous

FFS the afl is cooked

To be fair the tackle from Chol was fine. Stewart just unlucky.

Nash Easter Monday is a different story.

 

[AlcoaCat]

Heard Nick Watson got hit with a $5000 fine for being on the ground as a spectator. Another disappearing act tonight by "The Wizard".

He's a cocky little bugger. Nice that he learned a bit of respect.

 

[GlenMiddlemissed]

I was surprised to hear earlier this year that he's a bit bigger that Rowell.

There are 2 myths about Clark that need consigning to history:
No 'tank' - honestly, why do people keep repeating this? It probably originated from his first year where he missed a big chunk of the season thru injury. He plays full minutes in the VFL, and 62% of the 3 quarters he was on the field last night (about 80% of available time), all without any sign of not coping.
Too small - he is 2cm shorter than Joel Selwood and not dissimilar in build, and he will add more muscle over time. He's taller than Rowell, the same height as Butters and 11 cm taller than Watson (ok, nothing to write home about!). He's taller than Atkins and Stengle and Mannagh and Miers.

Yes. We need an inside mid.

 

[you pick one]

Honest opinion. Probably goes along with the success he has had… He sort of in that realm of Mathews or someone like that is just so competitive that he doesn't care how he looks. He is a bomb Dresden type of guy…his attitude is you do what you have to do to win. Can you taper than after a game. Maybe. Pretty hard to put on a mask when you have just had you heart ripped apart and stomped on by the Moggs Marauder

It was a reaction to more than the loss it was also about the stark realisation he doesn't have the list he thought he had.

To be fair the tackle from Chol was fine. Stewart just unlucky.

Nash Easter Monday is a different story.

It was fine in the sense he didn't mean to knock Stewart out, but it wasn't fine in that it 100% should have been an in the back free kick and it's a joke it wasn't.

It should have been a free but it is 1000 % not a suspension.

The key for a player like Clark is building that core strength. Atkins is an absolute animal the way he can stick his tackles and stand up when being tackled. If Clark can build that up like Atkins he is big enough.

Any Baz “shh” goal celebration gifs getting around?

His words certainly weren’t shhh

 

[catman2006]

Really happy for the lads to be in another GF but thought we didn't play that well despite some individual performances, the first 45 min was terrible with our disposal and the second half we left at least 4 goals out on the field need to improve next week.

Last I heard, men were pilloried for confining women to the Kitchen #justkidding

I wouldn't say I confined her so much as she just knew her natural place.

So how many weeks should Chol get?

Now that Hawthorn lost, it'll be 4 weeks, or maybe 3 if they're being nice -

Rough Conduct (high tackle): careless conduct, high contact and severe impact
