Any chance you have a time stamp for Kayo? I want to see it

It’s not like this was unexpected. How ill-prepared these clowns were. 

They didn’t care, and dare I say it but it must have been AFL sanctioned, fact is many were over fence as Buddy lined up for 1000 and security did nothing 

 

edit- and personally  I am glad they let the crowd run on

The spectators feet left the ground before contact, he can accept a one match ban according to the match review panel.

Well that was an absolute farce. Must say Franklin coped well with the maddening crowd. I wonder how many of those so called supporters will go to another game this year.

[Cards13 9,117]

Love the idea of the fans storming in to celebrate but wowser how easy for him/many to be crushed. The amount of kids on the fence prior to him kicking it, seeing people stumbling as they ran out, seeing Lance’s face and breathing eeekk.

Congrats on the goals, you have give us fans some amazing moments. 

[Clayton van Oliver 1,659]

I thought that was brilliant. Yea there were moments of concern, but it's better to have a life of colour than one of sanitised beige orderliness. In the end people largely didnt push-in too much and there was a bit of drunken revelry, no harm no foul. Great scenes, congrats Buddy

I wonder who the lucky person was who snaffled the footy in the crowd when buddy kicked it.

Wouldn’t it be ironic if it was Ricky Nixon, but everyone didn’t believe him?

[Winners at last 4,685]

I really like Tom Stewart.

Great player, and conducts himself really well. 

Should I feel ashamed?

[darkhorse72 1,718]

Well done buddy.

But what's with pawing all over his face as he. tried to move to the boundary.  Really weird. 

 

Made sure my kids watched as its not something that happens much anymore, when was the last 100 goal season?

Sydney and Melbourne the two best teams.

It’s looking like that. I will be keen to see PA and BL play other teams to see if they are up there. 

Maybe GWS if they put Rich to the torch.

[Colm 1,473]

Damn it I feel asleep during last quarter and missed Buds 1000. 
The two games so far this round really show the difference when a team is kicking well. 
Dogs 13.12 90 v Carlton 16.6 102

Swans 17.5 107 v Cats 10.17 77

I think it’s an area that we will need to improve on if we want to win back to back flags.

21.14 in the GF wasn't good enough for you? 🤔

Their stars have old legs...they will beat up lesser teams but struggle against good teams.

Selwood is still good when around the ball and he uses it really well, the trouble is he can't get to enough contests when the ball is moving around quickly. Gone on a year too long...

....and he's not on his own.

The old legs is old news!  Selwood gave away 4 frees, the first of which became a down the field free which, iirc resulted in an early goal for Sydney.  He did little for his team.

All that aside, my post you quoted was about their 'new', much hailed game plan which failed when pressure was applied.  They looked stuck between their old and their new method.  Neither worked.

Perfect example of when we take our chances the margin we can win by as was the prelim against Cats19.11 125. 
But the vast majority of games last year we kicked more behinds that goals. 
I just checked through all the results and the only other two games we kicked well in were against North and Adelaide. 
 

As teams start to copy our style of play if they are kicking straighter than us in front of goal we may find ourselves falling behind a bit.

Media has already changed the narrative to him being a good bloke for giving the guy his wallet back. 

 

[Lucifers Hero 36,983]

With all the Buddy mania, Geelong's woeful performance will fly under the radar. 

No media coverage of the actual game at all.

Last year we kicked 323.308. Brown, Fritsch and TomMc are all reliable shots for goal.

I can't see our back 6 letting too many teams kick scores like 17.5 or 16.6 too often.  Such goal kicking efficiency is against teams with poor all ground defence and deficient back 6 players/strategy which is not us.   We consistently kept teams to 60 -75 points last year.  Don't see a reason for that too change.

It will be a while before other teams can copy our style of play with the same skill we do.  Geelong is a good example:  worked for them last week, failed last night when pressure was applied.  Our style withstands pressure and we apply lots of it especially i50.  Teams will perfect part of what we do but not sure many will develop all components of it in a hurry.  Sydney is looking the most likely.
