WC will front run all the way to another delusional success in the west.IMO, Geelong should account for WC and the Dogs and Demons game is a coin flip.
Something tells me an Essendon one would cut them deeperI really want to see another Geelong flag, just for the melts on the Hawks board.
2020. Till then, my enemy's enemy is my friend.Something tells me an Essendon one would cut them deeper
surely a GWS 4-peat, rendering their 3 in a row a memory, would hurt moreEssendon v Geelong Grand Final (actually, probably Sydney for that matter too).
I reckon the Hawkes types would be sitting in their rooms, blinds drawn, for a year afterwards, no matter who wins.
I think a Geelong flag cuts deeper. Firstly, the rivalry is already there. It means that the cats would've won four in an era, without any assistance, and also having lost one of the greatest players the game has seen (as did the Hawks), and a dual premiership coach.surely a GWS 4-peat, rendering their 3 in a row a memory, would hurt more
Or the Saints drafting the next Ablett with their 1st rd pick
You're right. EFC back2back2back2back. A 4peat with 4 little cups next to our 'team supported' would be glorious.I'd prefer we inflicted pain on our rivals ourselves rather than living vicariously through other teams.

If Hawthorn's 3 peat in a row becomes a 'memory' (I mean, really, that's what all past games are), what on earth are our 16 flags?
Yet they failed in the ultimate goal, a flag. I'd also put Melbourne's list comfortably ahead of ours.Carlton gave up the best Key Forward in the comp for Judd, he still eliminated Richmond with the worst list of the last 25 years. I'm happy with our list. Kelly, Webb and Kennedy is what we should go for. Honestly I don't think there's another Melbourne club ahead of us list and demographic wise. All of our key posts are locked and loaded. All we need is a couple of decent ball winners with versatility and we can close shop on player movement for a while.

Their forward line when Hogan's playing is pretty handy. Their defence probably needs a 3rd tall with better kicking skills than Frost or the McDonalds but overall is pretty damn good and their midfield is two levels above ours.Because they did the equivalent of Daniher for Kelly. Whoever said that trade was a good move for the club should be barred from making any decisions in the future, full stop. Didn't appear the sharpest bunch down at Carlton till recently...
They've got a better midfield, ....they've got a better midfield.

I don't give a damn about names. I care about results, and statistically, they're 6th in goals/inside 50, 5th in goals conceded/inside 50, 4th in both clearance and contested possession differential and 6th in inside 50 differential. For those statistics we're 2nd, 7th, 17th, 12th and 17th respectively. That tells me our forward line is ahead of theirs, although their's is still good, around the same in terms of defence and their midfield is far better than ours. In the end though, other than a game where they had a 2 man bench for 3/4 of the game against the Tigers, every time they've come up against a team that will be fighting for a place in the top 8 they've produced the goods. Including belting us to the tune of 7 goals.Would literally pick our back and fwd line over theirs 100 times out of 100. Two levels in the midfield is pretty much one or 2 capable runners that fit our bill.
What's your connection at the Dee's? It seems you may be a little over awed by the 1st round picks they have running through the middle, a pacey backline and Jesse Hogan. We're ahead of Melbourne I don't care how many levels their midfield has on ours. It's not like they've proven themselves yet. At all.. half of our group has at least played in a final.
yeah but:I think a Geelong flag cuts deeper. Firstly, the rivalry is already there. It means that the cats would've won four in an era, without any assistance, and also having lost one of the greatest players the game has seen (as did the Hawks), and a dual premiership coach.
It means that there is a very legitimate argument that the Cats have been the best team of the last 20 years.
Anything GWS wins will be framed as an achievement handed over on a silver platter. The same can't be said of the Cats in any way or form.
