Geelong were good that night and Varcoe gets unfairly lambasted a bit...not as though it was a goal square miss - under pressure, late in the game, 40+ out.
Also think Mitchell deserves more credit for our win. Don't get me wrong, Burgoyne was instrumental in the last, with 4 important touches and a key late goal but Mitchell was easily best on ground.
Geelong had dominated the middle in the streak of 11 up to that game and Mitchell got a dedicated tag (albeit from Taylor Hunt) and had 38 disposals, 11 clearances and set up everything. For perspective, our next best midfielder was probably Isaac Smith who had 18 touches and was pretty quiet. It was Mitchell vs Geelong for 3 quarters and he was still pretty important in the last with 7 possessions. One of the best individual final's performances I can remember
