And now they are complaining that they could not get Dangerfield and Motlop back onto the ground!

Well, whose call was that?

And, simply, you only play as well as your opponents allow.

Remember also that we played a draw (we should have won) against them last year.

Geelong are a side which enjoys a massive advantage playing at their home ground - and that needs to be factored into their results.

The Victorian replica of West Coast except that, as with the ageing and faltering NM, where the draw is now evening out and they are playing more highly rated sides, they are also a very old side.

On what we saw was it the correct decision to move Johnson on and keep Bartel?

A core of their older players, to me, appear shot and not up to the standard when youth brings pace and fierceness to the contest.

The only area that I thought they had on us was their overhead marking abilities courtesy of having 2 ruck men (including looking to exploit us forward) and that put pressure on us at times - plus us having to ruck Bruce which I do not like.

Now, there was a really tough player. No one wanted to box with him either.

Done worry gang, we'll just have to prove them all wrong and the love we get will be all the sweeter. Wonder how much Ross's bubble turned the media against us and they're slow to come back? We had plenty of positive coverage in 03/04/05, then the Ross years weren't great for media involvement, as well as sponsorship and membership. Current admin trying to turn it around, but more work to be done. Keep winning and they can't ignore us.

I caught up with my condescending brother in law today
Before he could say anything, I said how we were lucky to win by 3 points
....... because we were so poor in the 3rd quarter & turned the ball over a fair bit during the game
Then I walked away before he had a chance to respond
Hope he choked on his coffee haha !!

My second gif would be the gresh haha. play to win, not for free kicks.

At least their week got better....

Emma Hawkins, the wife of Geelong star Tom Hawkins, never thought she would see her wedding gown again after it was stolen, along with her car, just days after their March wedding.

Exactly.

They probably thought the game was in the bag because Cats kicked their last goal with Danger cutting loose and handing a joe the goose gift to Motlop. It put them 9 points up with only minutes to go.

They were happy that their two matchwinners were off the ground and smug while Selwood was still marshalling the troops. Then their arrogance turned to horror and fear when Gresh and Steven wiped the smugness from their faces

It was hilarious watching them all post game. Their FF and captain, all ably led and influenced by the arrogant coach, believed they were robbed. Even after replays showed feet were tangled and Hawkins basically tripped himself. How arrogant can you get?
