The heart beats true

You could see the moment on the siren when Hawkins looked over and saw Gary Rohan, and he clearly thought to himself…. ’I still reckon you’re an average bloke who can’t play finals, and shouldn’t have left his wife when she was pregnant with your child to shack up with our team Physio’. It was a nice moment.

Sydney are soulless.

Not a great day for the ‘Bloods’ culture.

In fairness to the Bulldogs last year they fought for 3 quarters but got rolled by the most demoralising and blistering 5 minutes of football I think I’ve ever seen, and it broke them. Contrasted to the Swans who have never been in this. Not for a minute.

I can’t believe that any of the Swans players haven’t crunched in and try to make it slow and physical. Make it hard for them. Instead they’ve just rolled over. I reckon our boys would be a bit embarrassed today. May, Viney and Oliver wouldn’t have just accepted this.

Sydney have shown absolutely nothing. This is gutless from them.

Beat me to it! 🤣

The half time entertainment started as poorly as the Swans.

Clarry needs a stylist. No one of his complexion should be wearing that red.

They need to get a significantly harder draw next year. This year their draw was a joke for a team that finished 3rd last season. It was only ranked as the 8th hardest draw as the season began, and only got easier as some sides dropped off. It was definitely their season.

Centre clearances by Sydney are horrific.

Tom Stewart is doing some things that are making me rethink his standing in the game.

Geelong are a good side, but this is embarrassing from Sydney. They are getting smashed at contest. Terrible effort from their midfield.

Gotta get Heeney near the ball.

This embarrassing from Sydney. Geelong aren’t this good. They haven’t shown up.

This year absolutely stinks.

I don’t understand holding the ball. It’s the worst rule in our game.

Ugh.

The minute Hawkins retires Geelong are a 4 goal worse side. Please let him retire.

All I took from this story was that you broke the rules and travelled outside your 5km zone. 🤣 I think I have lockdown PTSD.

Agreed. The club clearly has a formula for player value. They aren’t trying to play someone else’s game with trades. They know what they want to do, and regardless of external noise they get it done. Too often people conflate this seasons relative disappointment with the clubs many moving parts. When it comes to trading we’ve been exceptionally well managed for almost a decade.

How come they didn’t ask Wayne Carey? Maybe he was busy crushing up his Neurofen and sorting it into small ziplock bags?

Why do it on the river? Horrible decision. Also, Papley posting that on his social media just shows you what a prat he is.

I didn’t interpret any of this as taking anything for granted. I love the way Tracc says ‘versed’ when he’s talking about teams we’ve played against. Reminds me he’s just a big kid. He’s a good guy. I also like that he refers to himself as an optimist. That’ll stand him in good stead for life. All that video reminded me is that we’ve got a ripper.

Who told you that? Kane Cornes?
