Really thought Oliver was unfairly pinged a lot Tonight.

Very inconsistent umpire on htb. Hot then cold then hot

These wins galvanise teams. 

We stepped up and despite seemingly trying to kick ourselves out of it, did what we had to do, when we needed to do it. Highlights for me, Caleb clutch tackle and goal, and the FRIBBLER! 

A great outcome to nab this one. I still think the Blues are more dangerous. Win that, and we are on our way. If we play with the same pressure and kick better we will cover them. 

Proud of the grit shown by the boys.

Go Dees 🔥

 

But we still need to improve the kicking, it was the reason we lost against Collingwood and Carlton in the finals.

But overall a great performance.

[Maldonboy38 6,406]

Wow. Gut wrenching last quarter.

Thank you  Jeremy.

Max - you led us to victory.

Lever - the rock.

Petty - welcome back

Langdon - you can have a rest now.

Fritsch - how the hell you were never drafted at 18yo, I will never know. You are simply brilliant.

I want all the "Geelong will give us a reality check" to go hide in the closet for a week...woooohoooooooo

They did give us one. Good game and we are as close as anyone.

Good reality.

[Ted Lasso 19,549]

What a game of footy! well done lads!

[BDA 22,890]

Suck on that Cats. I love beating that team.

Goal of the season to Fritsch. Magic effort to win it.

Defensively brilliant all night. Lever superb.

Great to see Petty clunking them and back in form.

Goal kicking not good. Far out we nearly kicked it away.

We’re up to our necks in it this year. Make no mistake.

Go Dees

[Red But Mostly Blue 4,547]

A few more highlights, obviously Lever a one man fortress. Probably BOG. And so good to have Petty’s mitts back on. Once he gets the feet working again, he will be a big asset. His marks were so important. 

watching the vision right now you can see how happy the boys are for Petts. Great to see.

[Jibroni 5,013]

Great results on the end, kiss my you know what Geelong supporters.

How old was he when we recruited him? 21?

Best defence in the comp

I apologise for the doom and gloom in the match thread, I just can't help it. Everything about this game pointed to another heartbreaking, self inflicted loss.

Thank god it wasn't.

Petty the MVP.

Judd McVee might be the future king of the world

Fritta for me a class player.

[layzie 34,013]

Can't wait to hit the night clubs and do the Fritta dribbler 

[leave it to deever 17,517]

Just watched the Fritta goal.

That will never be forgotten.

Great effort from Petty too.

[Clintosaurus 7,867]

6-2 hey @binman

[BDA 22,890]

Caleb Windsor tackle and finish in the last quarter.

such composure in a pressure situation. magnificent.

AFL.com.au - Clayton Oliver records 30 disposals for the first time since Round 2. His match tonight included 31 disposals at 81 efficiency, four clearances, 17 contested possessions, eight score involvements, 32 pressure acts and four inside 50's.

[Gawndy the Great 9,011]

That’s the performance that gives you confidence. Much to improve but bring pressure and intent and good things happen.

[Rocknroll 1,005]

You bloody beauty

[Red But Mostly Blue 4,547]

Goal of the year - the FRIBBLER

[BoBo 2,941]

We’re in the hunt for the premiership. Make no bones about it. We’re a top 4 team. 
 

I thought Geelong would beat us tonight and I am bloody wrapped how wrong I was. 
 

we are fixing our forward issues and there was clear evidence in that game. 
 

Petty getting the cobwebs off.

 

[censored] bring on the blues and let’s see how they like us this year.
