The fact that both us and the hawks have won premierships in our own rights validates that not merging was the way to go

9 goal belting by north. I’m dreading the Geelong game

Biased commentary on foxtel is ridiculous. They’re screaming every time Roos get the ball (despite easily being in the lead) then you hear there interest drop anyone time make any kind of comeback

Front line is non-existent

Ok maybe this is the turning point.

Can’t believe it’s only 4 points. Doesn’t reflect the game at all

Was this the same team as last week? Terrible

We look terrible. It’s living in North’s side. Frankly we’re lucky the score is what it is atm

Actually I saw looking up on google and it bought me here. No I think guest-no-merger needed his side said, especially after he was blocked before he could defend himself

I said what I needed to. I said I was sorry for bringing it back. I just felt someone was unfairly shut down here

We had our first non-Geelong home game this century last year. I guess we have to wait another 26 years for our next one

We seem to have trouble with north. Even in 2021 it was a struggle for a while. I’m not convinced this will be our first win of the season

Just noticed this thread for a while. jarka’s statement about Ridley never once raising his voice and swearing is false. This clips shows him at 0:47 saying bloody (this IS swearing, soft or not) then immediately shouts at his supporters to rise with him. Merger Also this Link show that it WAS members, not just fans that weren’t allowed in. So, I’m more inclined to believe guest-no-merger than him. Other people did support his claim of being the first to be questioned and jarka seems to blatantly ignore this as it doesn’t suit his own personal opinion/memory of it. I know it’s too late to exonerate him, but this is proof jarka was wrong and he was right. Ridley claimed no members were locked out and it was a lie. He paints himself in a far too unrealistically positive light in his book. What he did ever certainly unethical and most likely illegal. Sorry to bring this back again, but I noticed it was revived 3 years ago. I just thought I’d posthumously clear member-no-mergers name

Agreed. I’m pretty sure I would have been able to get at least one ticket but the fact is the vast majority of the fans wouldn’t have been able to go and I watched it the way most people would. Sure I’d love to attend the game but not everyone will have that luxury regardless where we play. So for the selfishness of people who say “it won’t feel real unless it’s the MCG” take into consideration for fans that attending the grand final won’t ever be an option. Sure I’d like to win one here too but if this is all we ever get (forbid that) I certainly will die fulfilled knowing I saw a demons flag in my lifetime. An MCG premiership would be nice, but to be honest it could never beat this one for me. Our biggest drought over. First time in my life. A painful chapter finally closed.

I got the chance to go over there for a grateful fan who paid for me to come over after I gave him my GF ticket. I was wondering what was the weather like? I saw people alternating between hot and cold weather wear and size watching the GF I’ve been curious about it
