Return to Glory

Well, I thought that went well.

GWS will pinch this

No thanks. Hasn't been offered a contract at Sydney so pick him up possibly later.

I'd let the polo player in if the trade off is that we send Hamish to Argentina.

Razor will officiate the living crap out of the game. For Geelong's Dive team that's a real plus.

Buddy as captain is bizarre. On what basis did they arrive at that decision?

Gawn - Should win Brownlow (if they're genuine re who the best in the comp is)

I see what you're doing

Do it for Tim Winton

Hard one to beat bb.

Do it for Ric Charlesworth

Hasn't the Weed timed his run to perfection. Well done young man.

Precisely Biffen. And tired.

If I can quickly give my 'hindsight is 20 - 20 vision' take on today's game. As I was leaving the ground last week I turned to the bloke next to me and said that it was a flattering scoreline and some of the things we did would fall straight into the Swans hands. I said it after Petracca took a mark 30 - 40 out and, rather than take a set shot, put up a dinky kick to nowhere. So we went from playing against the most amateurish team in the comp to playing seasoned pros. In retrospect, Gold Coast was the worst team we could have played.

It's innate with Oliver. If I'm completely honest, Trac doesn't have it and I suspect he may never do. Hope I'm wrong. I may have similar thoughts about Hogan but keep it to yourself.

If you had told me two and a bit years ago that Oliver would be our smartest footballer I would have laughed. Unfortunately he's the dux in a class of dumb arses.

Hard to know sometimes.

No, just allergic to the footy

Really? I have, at least twenty times this decade alone. Go Dees.

How many times does Sydney rope - a - dope us?

We can talk about individual players but this is as much Goodwin and his coaching team's inability to react and adapt.

And dare I say it, cue the limp.

I'm therefore going to suggest Lou and Edna.

Surely this is the full stop of this thread. Gold.

Ever the pessimist but this feels like a 50 - 50 match
