Game Day 2022 AFL Grand Final : Geelong v Sydney

[HeHateMe]

I love issie super pumped for him as a Hawthorn legend, but.... but he is going to be remembered as a Geelong legend now.

 

[Flukey!]

Very happy for Issie. About the best result actually from a Cats win.

Also happy Buddy will likely end now with just 2 flags, both with us.

 

[HeHateMe]

Yeah you're right, buddy winning one with the swans would be worse.... Also Danger wining a NS would have been unbearable.

Honestly a Geelong v Swans GF I was going to be disappointing either way.....

 

[DannyJ]

Well done Isaac. Made the right call leaving us and joining a contender. Gunno must be thinking . .

Well done Isaac clearly better than Lance on the day and now the oldest ever Norm Smith winner I think I heard. Joins another ex-Hawk Gary Ablett Snr in winning the Norm Smith maybe there's another one not sure.

 

[Stottzy]

Just glad Danger didn't win Norm. The media would be unbearable labelling him the GOAT. Can't believe some still think he was robbed. Smiths success may inspire similar to his position to chase a flag now.

I doubt it. You likely don't start your career at a club, win three in a row including kicking the clutch goal in 2013, then get forgotten because you were best on in a GF for another club.

Stuart Dew came close, but most remember him as a Port player. He only won one flag there.

The three peat team are immortals. Smith played bloody well in two of the 3 flags. His game yesterday picked up where he left off in 2015.

Plus on a positive note, a Hawk Great was best on ground for Geelong in a GF. They had to import some Hawk magic to help make it happen

How many times have you watched 2012

As a professional sportsman you need to learn from your biggest failures to hopefully prevent them happening again. You learn more from losses than you do victory.

 

[Mercy Seat]

We didn’t give him away he left as a free agent.

Yeah and his compo pick we eventually turned into Butler, so swings and roundabouts…

 

[Paul Kersey]

They couldn’t beat us this year. Just like 07. Haha.

 

[almuz]

how’s the scars from the swans after this? It clearly got in the Dog’s head last year, chance to fall out of the top 8?

no it didn't ...butler was collingwoods second round pick

 

[Cyril says]

Terrible game. Swans gave up. No pressure in Geelong forward line.

Warner and Papley played well on Swans side. Geelong gave effort everywhere for 3 quarters and then it was every man for himself in the last quarter.

Warner had it 29 time with 2 goals, Dangerfield had it 27 with no goals. Dangerfield got 10 Norm Smith votes, Warner didn't get any.

I would have voted for Stengle.

Went to AFLW on Friday to see the first win. Girls were magnificent. Best thing to happen in a dirty week.

Go Hawks.

 

[Flamin Joe]

Nice to hear Smith in his post match interview ……… “fortunate that l have been apart of two great football clubs I’m pretty lucky!”.

North Ballarat and Hawthorn

 

[HODGEYROAD]

My thoughts are with TazHawk15 at this difficult time.

 

[Sturty]

The last 3 GF Swoms have been in they've been leaked on.

Mental scars are real for them

No. Just smashed by the best side in the comp, they'll be right.

He could possibly be the first norm smith medalist presenter that is still playing. Lots of miles left in those skinny legs.

Bugger I just woke from what I thought was a nightmare but it’s bloody real!!!

Papley was invisible. Danger played really well. Stengle, Duncan, Hawkins, De Koning and Of course Smith made up the Cats best imo.

Warner clearly Swans best. Fox could hold his head up.

Spare a thought for Bud

Whilst we had our own 3 peat, he has registered his own at the Bloods.

2014, 2016 & 2022 Grand Final Losses

Noone would are if he was honest when he left.
Saying he left to play in premierships ensured he was going to be scrutinised

 

[QuietB]

I’m not sure what everyone expected of Buddy. Swans had 32 inside 50’s - and most of those were shite.

Swans were outright bullied yesterday

saying in his on field interview he has been lucky to play for “two great clubs” - in a tough week for the Hawks that was a nice touch

Yes and I think that his Norm Smith win makes the 13/14/15 Hawks team the only one to include 4 Norm Smith winners- Hodge, Lake, Rioli, Smith. Somehow that great team just got a little greater.

It also means there would’ve been Hawks Cats games in 2013 featuring 7 Norm Smith winners- those 4 + Bartel, Stevie J and Chapman?

Need a stats guru to clarify.
