Undeeterred

Geelong are a year older, and we are a year better, from an absolute flogging. We understand their game and can counter it. The only thing that might save Geelong on their day is Jeremy Cameron having a blinder, which he didn’t do last year against us.

I won’t regret it. The difference is we have form on belting top 4 sides, like, absolutely belting them, when it counts.

It’s absolute daylight. Nobody comes near us this year

That’s a very negative assessment of a game where we were 51 points up with 8 minutes to go. Live a little Dazzle the wins might not pile up forever

Have to admit some panic when in my early morning haze I thought it was Clarry in the photo

Huge moment too - he misses that and we go in 13 points up, very gettable. I think it was such a big hit that it kind of made the Dogs collapse and give us the next one. Sparrow is a ripper

Haven’t tracked him much! Let’s hope so

Rivers is the wildcard. He’s a long term midfielder I reckon so we’d be needing to look at someone to replace him down back.

Massive mistake, I agree. Sparrow isn’t fringe, he’s clearly best 22. And had some outstanding moments last night - the kick to Fritsch on the goal line was perfect, and the goal he kicked from 50, off a step, to put us three goals up was absolutely huge. It’s not his first big goal from that distance (think Brisbane on the run, last quarter). Plus, he’s a regular at my local cafe with Jimmy Jordon and the two of them look about 14 years old. They’ll be even better when they grow up.

If he sticks his mitts up like last week and drags them down the Dogs don’t have a defender that can go with him

We talk about Viney being ‘built’ for finals. Honestly, this has been the point of our list build. Viney, along with: Gawn, Petracca, Pickett, Jackson, Spargo, ANB, Harmes, Lever, Bowey, Hibberd, Sparrow, Salem These are guys who on the evidence so far just step it up in massive games. They’ve got Bailey Smith, Bont, Naughton and funnily enough Mitch Hannan

It’s a bit of a no brainer really, sad as that is.

I loved this. He had a second or two of literally standing still with the ball on the 50

Sorry, you’re not serious are you?

It was.

One kick smothered coming out of the back half, and that’s it. Going to be a superstar

Wouldn’t get a game. Who would you drop for him?

Prescient

Fox showed footage of Razor and Danger laughing and joking and fist bumping before last night’s game, and I thought here we go

That’s the one. Brayshaw shanked it on his left out of bounds on the vacant members wing, and Razor didn’t pay deliberate and they ‘low fives’ each other. Hilarious

I hadn’t read the intervening 10 pages or so, but sure, be a [censored] about it

Agreed. Perhaps let’s let him do that in the pre season rather than a prelim, is my thinking

Remember the day Brayshaw gave Razor a high five against the Dogs? That’s how you should touch an umpire

I counted 4 goals where he was directly or very closely responsible

To be fair that doesn’t make it correct
