Well that just happened...
First thing's first, congratulations to Geelong. Absolutely clinical, ruthless, professional today and this was just a culmination of being an extremely well run organisation over the past 2 decades. They had many doubters including myself believing that their squad of old-timers were gonna slip this year, and everyone will now have to eat crow. Didn't give us a sniff and they totally deserve it after finishing top of the ladder with 16 wins on the trot.
As for us, from the opening minutes of the game we looked outmatched and panicked. I can go into countless things that went wrong, the Reid selection, bad individual performances, etc. But I won't go into it as there's not much of a point posting a laundry list of blunders.
It doesn't feel like it right now, but I didn't pick the team to get to a grand final at the start of the year. We had some good moments, Bud's 1000th, Warner's development, Paddy McCartin's successful return to football, strong performances before today. Keep in mind, this time last year Geelong's season ended with a 80+ point demolition at the hands of Melbourne and look where they are now. Hope our club can take inspiration from that and move forward in 2023.
I don't know what else to say. It's the shittest position to be in as a football fan, I just feel sad and devastated. It's gonna be a long off-season but we'll all get through it together.
If any of you are feeling particularly shit about this, it's okay to go do something else for a bit. I think I might go for a gym session and learn some coding after this.
Take care of yourselves everyone.![Heart :heart: :heart:](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
