Varcoe could have tied it and blew it as did the Cats after throwing away a 20 point 3/4 time lead. Geelong's great era is over. They'll still be up there in the finals for the next couple of years but they won't win another flag. 
Hawthorn's premiership to lose now. The relief of coming from behind and winning the hard one in a Prelim often relaxes the nerves and spurs sides the next week in the Grand Final. I don't want the Hawks to win and move ahead of us in terms of flags  
 but they are going to be hard to beat next week especially after losing the Granny last year.
Richmond should 'go past' Geelong now
