Good luck

...and may the best team win

Hopefully the 3rd installment of the Geelong-Hawthorn GF rivalry is ALOT more like 1989 then 1963 ;)

Certainly alot of healthy rivalry and mutual respect between the 2 clubs, which is great to see
 
Re: Good luck

Thanks mate... Same to u :) Great to see the two best sides play off on the biggest stage.

It will be one hell of a show :thumbsu:

I can only remember '89. Isn't it funny how things have turned out.

In '89 Geelong were the up and commers with a freaky full forward while Hawthorn were the balanced, experienced team with a great defence and favourites to win....rather ironic I would've thought.
 
Re: Good luck

hawks very impressive tonight, however i cant see them beating the cats...I'd say the cats by 6 goals

I would be over the moon to reverse that result.

Anyway, bring 'em on! Can't wait...
 
Re: Good luck

Boy what a game it will be. I hope we don't choke. C'mon you guys won it last year. Let us win this year;):o

Seriously, two teams filled with talent and superstars. Both sides have very even contributors. Wow. I can't believe it. All the best. Obviously we both want to our teams to win. I hope it's 100% pure hard footy with the focus on the ball and NOT the man. I will be very disappointed if our team targets Ablett or Bartel with rough tactics.

Obviously I will be pissed if the opposite occurs to our players. What would be great is just super intense, gut busting footy with all focus on the ball.

Honestly, though, as impressed as all Hawks fans are with Geelong, how did you guys see our performance tonight and in this year's finals overall? Commentators are still predicting a comfy 5-6 goal win for the cats. Not saying it won't happen, but how do you guys see it???

I honestly see a cliffhanger looming.....super exciting. And probably the best thing about tonight was Buddy only getting one goal. It just opens up the mind games to a new level. Can't wait. May the best team on the day win.

WARNING: UMPIRES - DON'T WRECK THE GAME WITH TIGGY TOUCH FREES. PLEASE!!!!!!!!:) Big rivalry looming over next 3-4 yrs possibly.....
 
Re: Good luck

It made heroes of men who stood up under extreme pain.
Both teams didnt fully recover from that battle for a long time.
Geelong went the nuckle early and forgot to play football
If the knuckle was more measured it could have been a different outcome.
There was no time killing in those days either.
Should be a great game
My wifes family are all down in Geelong
So it has a speacial flavour for me.
May the best team win

Re: Good luck

Hopefully it's more like 89 in that Buddy kicks 9 and wins the Norm Smith in a losing side...

..not to mention they'd won the Grand Final the previous year by a record margin.

thanks mate totally agree although the losers will be quite upset. no excuses from either team i dont want to hear "ohh chapman didnt play thats why we lost" or "we had too many blokes injured, hodge, croad bateman etc" fair game and may the best team win

This will be a classic, I'm sure of it. Hopefully it's all clean and a show that the neutrals can say afterwards was really worth it. Go Cats.
