Hird will get a giggle out of this.

We know he loves a bit of needling.
I hope they bring him back. Will be the shot in the arm the club needs.

In all seriousness, the subsection of their fanbase that's so desperate to get him back is unbelievable. It's Trump like.

MEGA: Make Essendon Great Again.... because it worked so well the first time, didn't it Hirdy?
 
The Richmond forum is an absolute disgrace. Openly salivating and revelling in Stewart's injury.
I think they're still sore about this incident



All the same, delighting in the injury of other players IS a disgrace. Poor form from those Tuggers:thumbsdown:

Yeah - that Prestia hit really pissed them off, big time. I've seen scores of posts openly delighting in Stewart being concussed and missing the GF.

It's gross, but unfortunately, very on-brand for them.

Ethically, those people are road-kill.

There was a funny description of Sam Mitchell by Adam Simpson on the radio over the weekend. He said during training if there was some way Mitchell could cheat in a drill or game to win, he would do it without any guilt (or words to that effect). I think it sums up the hawks culture, and probably the main reason they train to duck and dive when tackled. I have frequently encountered these types in sports teams, but they actually take the fun out of competing.

That is bit rough . He plays to win. At all costs.

It's AFL.

None of us really know whether he takes that attitude everywhere. I would doubt it.

He can't take that attitude everywhere. There are rules and regulations. The point is where he can get away with it, he is doing it with disdain (Adam Simpson paraphrased: "he would do it without any guilt").

"At all costs" sounds benign & Rocky-ish (the movie), if he's the only one bearing the "costs". Not if it costs other people as well and without their volition.

I'll leave it at that. I understand your instinct to give him a fair go.

YES

Another GF for the Cats. Even sweeter by kncoking out the Hawks when it matters - A Prelim Win in front of 99567. Unreal

What a win.

We were nowhere 13 mins into the 2nd QTR but we come back and in the 3rd... the Premiership quarter.... we killed them.

PFD was incredible.

Blitz was amazing.

Atkins is unbeleivable. What a gun.

Stewy unlucky and makes next week harder.

Stengle, Close, Atkins, Miers, Jezza, Zuthrie, LAwson,

Mannagh...
Noboy quit... no one droppeed their head... they kept with it

Credit the Irish ones that didnt let theirs get ooff the hook.

that ia 10 Prelim in 15 years.

Bloody love this club

Big week coming up.

Hawks are not a push over and will be back.

WE are Geelong and WE ARE the greatest team of all

GO Catters
Love the pointed ‘when it matters’. Thought yesterday that someone really should make a Kennet’s Curse. It can start with 89 GF and work through to the ridiculously arrogant and ill-considered ‘when it matters’ comment, through the ten successive wins (most of them mind-boggling endings) and finish with 2025 Prelim. Gotta be called ‘When it matters’. Love to hear players thoughts in hindsight
 
"Just looking at the stories from the parade...most of the Geelong players wearing sunnies...on an overcast day. The fans are coming to see them, and that's how they treat them. Says a lot about that club's culture (and contrasts to Brisbane's)."

Our Hawks comrades are not coping well.

I was wearing sunnies too… guess the club’s arrogant culture is even rubbing off on humble supporters like me 😎

12 players across a 7 photo slide show, and guess what - 7 of them are wearing sunnies

I'm sure if they were pressed on this matter you'd get something like this:

"Okay fine - it's not that Geelong players were wearing sunglasses, but the way they were wearing them. The arrogant pricks were acting like they were better than me."
