Preview 2022 AFL Grand Final, Geelong vs Sydney @ 2:30pm at the MCG

[Generalissimo]

I would still prefer Parfitt/Menegola to directly replace Holmes and MOC to remain sub.

 

[Phipppppa]

Should never have lost that GF.

I’ll be saying the same thing if we lose this year, been the best team all year, 15 games winning streak, hate to loose it all in the final game.

 

[And_ROOS]

Interesting. Had the feeling Holmes would come up and now it seems he will be our late out.

O'Connor for Holmes is a bad sub though.

Time for Joel to become a Premiership captain.

Looks like Holmes out for MOC tomorrow morning.

I’d go Parfitt in instead and MOC sub.

 

[benrushbrook]

Heard no captain run for Holmes....booo.

He did a single session before the parade. All go is my read on things (which is just guess work).

 

[allrighty]

I might be loose around 14.30 AEST tomorrow

If anyone is having a sleepless night they are replaying the 2011 GF at 1 am on 7HD

Calm before the storm

Eagles were $2.20

Last time at this price or worse was Hawks in 08.

Even among losers only GWS has been longer than Swans since 08.

I find that a bit strange. Sydney have also won 9 in a row, not like they’re mugs

I was looking forward to watching some footy shows tonight but all that’s on is best on ground.
Which is one of the worst shows I’ve ever seen.

bring back the marathon. Why do they have to change things these days - there is so much bandwidth they could put it on too!

 

[Alex Matt]

Anyone else stuck working tomorrow? I’m overseas and have to work all day. I’m the only Geelong supporter here, and only a handful of the guys follow AFL. Thankfully, my boss is happy for me to put the game on one of our work screens. I’ve already told everyone don’t expect me to do anything after 2:30pm.

 

[CatTricks]

Hey does anyone know how to watch free on a PC. Kayo is not streaming nor is 7+

Pretty sure 7+ is streaming for android TVs?

 

[Reppie]

This one has a 2009 feel about it for me...gonna be tough all day but the reward will be all the sweeter.

im going to the game, but in 2007 I was the manager on duty of the biggest supermarket in Geelong at the time. I had K rock cranked over the PA, at half time a couple came in to do their shopping in their port gear. They were not impressed with the audio.

Bloody autocorrect.

Is the grand final marathon on tonight?

 

[Trek]

As for taking a guess on the result, mine is Cats by 11pts, Selwood kicks the sealer and Jezza for Normie.

 

[The_Todd07]

So we dont have any actual news on Max, just that he didn't participate in a Captains run that he was never going to take part in, having already had a run this morning

No idea the guide is only showing 2011

Holmes all smiles at the MCG today so on face value it would appear he still feels he is a legitimate chance to front up for the big dance.

It seems there is an issue with the sciatic nerve and it's probably going to take more than a week of therapy to completely resolve itself and the risk of reoccurrence under game intensity is the worry. Suspect a searching fitness test tomorrow morning is on the cards and if he passes then it's up to the coaches.

Scott has always maintained he has absolute trust in the medicos. Big call to be made.

Haha yeah I came on here and read a couple of "he's out" posts in a row and went looking for the tweet confirming it.... And it doesn't exist! Deeps breaths everyone, we'll know tomorrow.

Yikes. Lucky we're not that stupidly arrogant anymore.

Not sure if you recall the Prelim v Dogs in 08. We were a much superior team, but it was a struggle.
Varcoe was great that night, but got a late soft tissue injury and came off.
Chappy had a hamstring that was probably nqr, and came into the GF a little below par.
Harley and Bartel were both injured in the GF.
And we lost Prismall with an ACL v Saints in the QF. That was more costly than many admit to as he was a really quality kick, something we lacked in that GF.
Stokes- absolute blunder that he played.
