Looks like you have been influenced by the media Nev. SWYL is spot on. Just took people (and the media) a while to recognise the value of his selfless role:- that he performed all year long.

Agree, Oliver number 1 for me. football media prefer trac, because he has the looks and is more charismatic and likeable.

What odds you got for me? very happily back that all 4 will play together for at least 1 game:- with the condition that they may not all play in the backline.

Agree with this. A tough thing to say from a practice match, but based on yesterday for the first time in 12 months Rivers is not a lock. If all fit May, Lever, Salem, Petty, Tomlinson, Bowey then Hibbo or Rivers for final spot:- Wouldn't want to play a bad game though, as some incredibly stiff players ready to come in and take your spot. If Petty and Tomlinson both fit, I do think they both get a game:- if team balance means they cant both play in the backline I do wonder if 1 will be experimented elsewhere on the ground.

Well said Tone "Oliver is becoming a combination of Judd and Cripps" :))))))))))

Smith easily better yesterday. But to be fair, Tommo would have just been trying to get through his first game back without injury. Lets assess this one in a couple of weeks:- My feel is Tommo will easily end up ahead of Smith.

Make up for the disappointment of winning by less than 100 points, by bouncing back with a 130 point win.

And Petracca a Pie, with his hero Pendles

Only point I would add is the team & coaching staff would have had supreme confidence that we would run the game out better. This confidence allowed us to be patient in the 3rd and not panic when a couple of goals down.

Great post. Probably the best GF summary I have read

What kind of view are we talking from outside the fence picket?

Max and Goody are also running a book for the 2k time trials. Nibbler - $1.7 eddy Langdon - $2.3 TMac - $2.8 As they say:- don’t change a winning formula!

Completely agree! certainly not a given that we would be adequately compensated for the value of Jacko if he wanted to go home

Great idea. Thanks!

It must be a fun life, waiting for someone to make a spelling mistake on a forum, so you can call them out. Well done to you

Am hearing there is a que forming :- but given the wobbly teeth, it may take 2 flags to seal the deal.

25 y.o I have no words. Just sadness. RIP Harley

The 2022 flag will be better than 2021 :- lets make this club a powerhouse again! This is only the beginning

This is fantastic! I feel opposition supporters are partly happy for us winning this year :- it won’t be until we dominate in 2022, that we really start to annoy them

GF replay was on Foxtel this morning, and I watched it start to finish & post game! still more tears the win has made me realise how much the bad years actually effected me! I think I use to kid myself ie “it’s only footy, who cares” during our lean times. BUT, clearly it was a big negative drag. Don’t want to take anything for granted. Who knows how long this successful phase will last :- need to soak up every experience, and enjoy every minute!

Melb vs Richmond being replayed on Foxtel now :- best you let the in-laws know

Just because Clarry has the ability to get 10 possy’s in 10 minutes, doesn’t mean he has gone missing when gets 6-7 possessions in a quarter.

Disagree. Crows was the best game Oliver has played in his career IMO. and the best home and away performance by any of our players this year.

Hopefully the players are reminded of these excuses from Geelong before the next time we play/destroy them.

Out of that list, I would go with eagles for now. but give it a few more years, at least 1 more flag, and Jackson a star of the comp, then it will be a more interesting comparison!
