Gee they are a protected species

Dangerfield throws the th8ng and the umps just go flapity, flap, play on
There were about 4 HTBs/throws against Geelong in the last couple of minutes and none paid: Dangerfield, Touhy, Smith, Guthrie. SHocking trained the umps well in cattery charity.

Nice version of Solid Rock. If that's Shane Howard he's turning into Donald Sutherland as he gets older. :P

The HT 'show' was pretty awful until then. Were they from one of those reality-TV singing shows? Most of them struggled to hit the right notes :P.

Too many Swans have had stage-fright today. Been rattled from the start. That's two goals this quarter to Geelong off unforced Sydney mistakes.

Yeah wasn't great. The drummer chick rocked though.

Would have been better if Pies had made it. I can't remember Sydney ever capitulating like this. Hopefully we don't need to hear about their superior 'bloods' culture for a while after this.

Yeah that first band was dog crap. Really poor choice of first song for a mob that can't hit any of those big high notes.

Honestly we'd have put up a much better fight.

Losing to the Lions was bloody poor of us.

Yep, this finals series and flag were for the taking. Even more so in hindsight. Only got ourselves to blame, sadly. Ignoring the ARC, we threw away too many close games including the Elim through dumb schoolboy errors on-field and we had way too many soft-tissue injuries due to whatever we were doing off-field with our strength and conditioning.
IF we had got past Brisbane, we would've faced Melbourne who were wobbly and went out in straight sets. We would've then faced Geelong who we at least would've been competitive against as their bogey side in finals (surprise surprise they are going to win flag by avoiding playing us). Get past the Prelim and we would've got the Swans in the Granny suffering stage-fright. All up a missed opportunity :(.

Issac Smith definitely wants that Norm Smith.

Positives:

We beat GWS by more.

Richmond 13 flags to Geelong's 10.

Bring on the trade/draft period and 2023!

Isaac Smith got the Norm. He certainly wanted it lol.

By the way, interesting reactions and comments post-game from Geelong players. More signs of relief and tears that they finally got there. Also Dangerfield saying this is what it means to be "content". I could be eating my words next year but I wouldn't be surprised if the Cats finally drop off now all their veterans have finally won the flag they've been chasing. That desperate hunger out of fear of missing out before retiring won't be there next year.
