Not enough injuries.

Glad we dodged the Port bullet.

Totally unfair to have teams have no Home Ground advantage but QLD and SA teams do. Should have both Prelims in Perth / especially since GF will be there. 

Same as last year though. Richmond got past Port Adelaide in the prelim.

We can avoid this unfairness by winning tomorrow, too.

Except for our best performance of the year, when we beat Port Adelaide.

True that. Hope it’s an Adelaide Oval thing….

Port are in the box seat to make the Grannie now, with a home Prelim.

They cocked it up last year when they got the ride of home games, won the first final and hosted a side who'd been hubbing all year.

But clearly we do not want to lose tomorrow and be sent to their prelim.

We’d likely have to get over the Dogs first. Needing to beat the Dogs and then Port in Adelaide just to make the GF would be a very tough road.

[OhMyDees 1,380]

Not to forget that both top 4 teams who lost their QFs last year made the GF.

Tis good. Did we break the cats? 😃

Til Lever took it to the Max, they were top and flag favourites

I’ve said all season Geelong play horrible football. Solid defensively, but with the ball it’s a pale and boring imitation of prime Hawks. Baffles me how they almost finished top. The last 3 weeks they’ve come up against good teams that wouldn’t accept that boring chippy [censored] and it’s shown them up beautifully.

That's incorrect.

Unusual to see Guthrie kick out on the full in dying minutes

Geelong are cooked cooked cooked, imagine have grandpa's like Isaac Smith and Shaun Higgins for another 2 years, Geelong are going into next year with a even older side, dangerous is cooked, Hawkins is cooked, Mitch Duncan get heaps of the ball but does not hurt, the most overrated player.

How embarrassing!!! II would be embarrassed to be chaired off after getting smashed by 40 points in a final,

Which bit?

Ive got to say, port fans were really giving essendon a run for their money there. 

God they ruined INXS for australia.

I think we were all more scared of their personnel than their game style. That aura has completely disappeared now.

[At the break of Gawn 3,748]

O’Connor getting injured is a huge blow for Geelong. He’s their main tagger and if we come up against them in the Prelim, it’s comfortable knowing Oliver won’t get tagged by him.

Probs sound like a cranky toddler but this is so not fair! Why shouldn’t they have to play their prelim in WA. Understandable if there’s no other choice but for the purposes of a level playing field, don’t let em sleep in their owns beds then after two weeks off, play at home with their own fans. What a gift!

Geelong cheat to make  top 4 every year, there game plan is good in home and away,, but more often then not it does not stand up in finals, imagine they are going into next year with most of their veteran signed up, dangerous and Selwood are cooked, are only good for cameos.
