He might be done but I’d keep him in the squad if it was up to me. He’s on 296 games - he deserves 300. I’d find a way to keep him in the team but my very biased worry is Humphries has taken his spot.

If it becomes a 5 man interchange with no sub then that’s a win for us and danger
Yeah me too. I will watch it.I was at the game so just wanted to confirm a few things
Gee it was surreal being there.
Utter devastation at the end.
Go danger.
Finally sanity prevails although it shouldn’t have even been a fine
Would love us to pick up a couple of players of his caliber with those late draft picks...

Geniuses. Nice one.
Weren’t you leaving this board about 8 weeks ago? Season over?
According to your ranting all season, all our players are worthless hacks so what does that say about Scott’s performance in getting us so close to a GF?
I am disappointed there weren’t more exclamation points !!!!!! in your past. Need to try harder!!!!! More intensity required!!!!!!

For those wondering, this is what Scott had to say about these issues in last night's press conference - he acknowledged the off field issues but downplayed the role they played last night & didn't want it reported as an excuse
Was Mullin on Neale the whole night? I can't remember... If he was, then he was mauled. I thought Neale torched us.

You are right about the draw, finishing 3rd, ours will be much tougher next year. However I wouldn't bet against Geelong finding a way to play finals.

Atkins was on Neale in the middle, Mullin picked him up around the ground.
Have to admit, as soon as I heard of Steven King having an episode one day before the game, I had a bad feeling and then when rumors spread about gastro, it didn't feel right. Even before the game, you could see the Geelong boys were quite subdued. More so than usual.

In a vague panic after my dream I spent the first 3 hours of the day in the fetal position, but eventually cracked on at around 2pm as guests arrived.
Started with CC's & -196s (weak, I know) before eventually calming down for the game.
Stayed relatively sober after that to enjoy the contest, followed by pure Jameson & Smirnoff as we stared blankly at the TV while Bruce arrived in the postgame.
Only positive of hangovers is the lack of water retention. I look even hotter than usual.

I still haven't seen that GF... I was overseas, and never bothered to watch it after I heard the result over the telephone back in those days.

Who will be our ruck then? As i have zero faith in conway.
I'd take Kennedy, especially if we give away our early picks for Smith.
Smith and Kennedy would walk into our midfield.
Even if Kennedy is slow, just play him as the inside mid, he will give us first use.

I've always had a lot of time for JJ, and definitely did not call him a "goal square merchant spud" on more than 20 occasions.
We would've got mauled the following week. But nonetheless, say we won it all this year, it would have to be the one of the worst midfields of all time to have won a GF imho!
Just seeing some of the Lions' frees / our non-frees that led to their goals for the first time.
Man oh man. I'm so glad we've had an era. Imagine if 2007-2022 hadn't happened and this was our first real shot at it? Injuries, illness, coaches collapsing, missed shots, goals conceded from dodgy umpiring.
As a grown man, I would have been in tears.

It would have taken a Geelong '94 / Adelaide '97-98 / Dogs 2016 level of September overperformance to win.

Misrepresenting my post…Lack of respect for the opposition by many here.Of course we had a chance, but being at the G was certainly not a huge favour for us this year, as if to make up for our deficiencies. And it was not a foregone conclusion; close game. Many knew we would have the close prelim. But getting it done the way Lions did even after we took the late lead was a huge statement. Picking Lions after their win last week was based on them handling pressure and us not having had any for a month.
