It's sickening seeing Geelong waltz towards a flag under SHocking's rules .
Did the toys find their way back into the cot ?
Nope
. Will never forget what that prick did. Nobbled us and then his Cats got a flag in 2022 which that old side they had then wouldn't have won without those rule changes. Our dynasty team was a low possession, high press team that played chaotic footy and fed off turnover far more than won stoppage. The rule changes have massively changed the way footy has been played since 2021. The Stand rule means teams now can control the footy by foot with 45 kicks and easily break down high presses. It's why teams now flood back instead defensively. The other changes have meant stoppage dominance has become important if not more important than turnover. We tried to correct for this by getting in Taranto and Hopper but by then it was too late as our dynasty stars were on their last legs by 2023. We now have to rebuild our list completely from effectively scratch for the way footy is played now and into the future.
As for last night, I couldn't be happier to see Geelong get knocked out after being 25 pts up in the 3rd qtr. Holmes was a massive loss for them in the midfield in the second half and then the Cats as a whole lost their marbles defensively and offensively trying to copy Brisbane and left the corridor wide open.
