Pav another 6 goals at the 'G. Geelong like us didn't respect Freo at the 'G and paid the price. Lyon will now feel vindicated jumping off the sinking Saints to Freo.
Geelong fought back to only lose by 16 points but even they can't get back from nearly 7 goals down at 1/4 time. Their era of dominance is drawing to a close. Scarlett will now retire and a couple of other older Cats will think about whether to go on. Even if they do the likes of Corey, Enright, Chapman, Pods and Josh Hunt are unlikely to be around in 2-3 years time. Then you have Bartel, Kelly and Johnson approaching 30 next year. The cliff-face is fast approaching for any side that will lose so many champion players.
The biggest thing to come out of tonight though is the flag is now for taking for Hawthorn with their bogey side knocked out.
