I think he is now working in the real estate industry and sounds pretty happy to have a normal job and spend more time with family. Good to hear.

Lol ...Real Estate normal and more family time should never be used in the same sentence...it's a very similar career and lifestyle to a professional athlete..hope he's going well

Sal is a good guy and i wish nothing but the best for him.

 

[DonDynamite]

Geelong are doing everything they can to lose this, wow.

 

[DonDynamite]

WOW!!!!

 

[RussellEbertHandball]

Geez Brisbane are going to steal our thunder and have upset of the year.

 

[DonDynamite]

Coast to coast, c'mon...

 

[Schulzenfest]

This is by a wide margin the least likely thing that has ever happened.

 

[RussellEbertHandball]

**** an 8 goal last quarter and win after the siren by McGrath in his 200. The 2 step with Brisbane continues.

The dopey ruckman who took a mark on the wing and instead of killing 15 of the 35 seconds plays on with a handball.

 

[Enviable Tradition]

Just another team for Adelaide to fall behind as they continue to stagnate without leadership without draft picks and without a culture.

I had the radio on half an hour ago and they were talking about Geelong running away with it.

 

[Holden Hillbilly]

Beating the premiers is a bigger upset.

 

[DonDynamite]

Oh my ****ing god.

 

[Stromageddon]

how the **** did Geelong manage to lose

Good on Brisbane

52pt deficit

and won

wowee.

 

[DonDynamite]

I had the radio on half an hour ago and they were talking about Geelong running away with it.

They were up by 52 at one point.

 

[Stromageddon]

Port and Brisbane returning to the top once more, a little over a decade later. This is the football I grew up with.

Dawson Simpson takes a mark for Geelong, wide on the wing in line with CHF square line 1pt up with 0:31 to go. For some stupid reason reason he handballs over the top and wider still to Corey who is rushed by the Brisbane player who came off mark. Corey drills it to the top of the square.

Merrett takes a defensive pack mark 15m out 0:23 to go, and plays on then stops goes back , the umpire calls plays on, so handballs to Yeo near point post who chips with left to Black 20m away all on his own as Geelong flood back, 0:16 to go.

A great kick by Black as he slowly steadies and is about to be run down, but gets the ball to Patfull right on the corner of the square at CHB who turns to play on, 0:09 left.

Pinpoint pass to Adcock in centre circle who has to slide onto his knees to mark and on his knee handballs with 0:05 left.

Adcock does a long lopy handball to Zorko running past and as he sets to kick 0:03 on the clock.

Chips 30m pass to McGrath who has to jump and stretch to his fullest and catches the ball and marks 48m out as the siren sounds.

Goes back for the long run up and from the behind the goal camera from other end, it looks like he hits it on the centre square line, from about 53m out and never in doubt.

Way to steal our spotlight Brisbane.....

 

[Chrizzt]

Pretty sure Brisbane pip us for biggest upset.

 

[davesnothere]

Way to steal our spotlight Brisbane.....

They can have it....it's been a day we can move on

 

[It Just Is]

They were up by 52 at one point.

Boy oh boy.

 

[DonDynamite]

We flog Carlton against the odds last year, they come out and beat West Coast in the dying seconds the next day. We beat Sydney as $9.00 outsiders yesterday, they come out and pull off one of the greatest comebacks for a while against the best team of the last decade.

If we beat Collingwood next week I guarantee they'll flog Hawthorn on Sunday.

 

[DonDraper]

That was actually ridiculous.

I turned it off and watched the Confederations Cup highlights I recorded. Can't believe it.

 

[Macca19]

Yeah I turned it off at 3/4 time. Just watched the last quarter on iq then. Craziness. Massive kick to win it. Dawson Simpson why would you play on?

 

[It Just Is]

Too few upsets in the last few years. It makes what on paper looked like an uneventful round spectacular.

 

[Toffee Lion]

We love copying each other, what can I say.
