Some very frustrated individuals out there. Only feel good about themselves and their presumably schitty lives when they think they're making someone else miserable.

Or, it could say it's a bright day and the sun is hurting their eyes. I think the "sun" in "sunglasses" shouldn't be overlooked.

Gold mate!
yep, agree with all that but i just don't see him changing his style of play tbh. It's either his body is feeling good for an impactful performance like v collingwood or he's completely cooked like the GF. There's no inbetween for him.
This may be true generally but we did make another GF 2 years after the 2014 debacle.

Has there been a game this year we have been beaten that bad across 4 quarters
We didn’t have anything what so ever across the 4
We didn’t have anything what so ever across the 4
Just rewatching the first ten minutes - we didnt have a forward who could take a contested mark. Buddy, Reid, Heeney, all of them looked lost at sea. Every time we'd move the ball forward Geelong would instantly ping it back from the contest. So while I thought at the time it was our midfield that was getting dominated early, it was actually the forward line being completely inept that killed us.
After the Hayward goal McLean misses a tackle who should have stuck on Guthrie, after that, the rest is history.

I had a friend of my brothers, a Hawks fan, who I'd met a few times, but didn't really know that well - get my number off my brother, then call me in 2014 literal seconds after the siren went (I would have assumed first thoughts would be celebrating). I didn't recognise the number and wasn't in the mood, so left it, but he left a pathetic faux concern "Oh just checking how you are, hope you're doing ok, not too upset" message. Luckily (for him or me I'm not sure), I was in the middle of switching phone providers so before I got to listen, my mobile connection cut out for the rest of the day. It still took a fair amount the next day to not tell him what I thought of him. He also thought Goodes was a sook. I've calmed down now, but still think he's a bit of a knob.
Like if my team wins a flag, I'm happy they won. I'm not going out of my way to make others feel worse. It was bad enough my brother pretending he was a Hawks fan again (was in childhood) when they were doing well.
One thing that's pissed me off all season and saw it happen countless times in the GF was our players slipping over. LIKE WTF. I've seen it happen at the SCG numerous times and now this again. WEAR PROPER BOOTS. I don't give a shit about your sponsorship or the style, just wear boots that stop you from slipping over. flipping pet peeve but it's simple to fix. absolutely hate it. It was bone dry and still our guys are slipping over. ffs.

Next year we should expect significant improvement in players like McCartin x 2, Blakey, Campbell, Gulden, Warner, Stephens, Rowbottom, McInerney, Ladhams, Gould, Amartey, McClean etc which in itself will improve us considerably.
If players like Florent, Fox, Clarke, Parker, Hickey keep on or around the same level then ideally Heeney, Mills, Papley Hayward improve and compensate for potential drop off in Franlin/Reid/Rampe then we should be close to another GF

Wow, great work, I’d not seen those numbers before. I’m a big fan of Horse but those stats are awful.including the one we won
under longmire our first quarters of grand finals are
1.4.10
2.3.15
1.2.8
1.0.6
total
5.9.39
opposition.
4.5.29
5.5.35
2.0.12
6.5.41
17.15.117
he must have the worst pre game speeches
lucky we came back in 2012 but we give up s**t starts
if my adding is wrong above apologies
We're not dropping him, but there needs to be a consistent plan on how to use him. If he refuses to adapt, and not try to act like he's 25-30 year old Buddy, then he needs to be dropped. It also all depends on whether we have anyone to step up and do better.

Can only see one way for Reid , rampe and Franklin
The King!
Chosen One
might be nothing to do with him i guess. but we start poorly every grand final under him
Let's just say I don't think Hickey, Franklin, Reid or Rampe will get better, or even stay the same, potentially all drop off. Reid's the youngest, so natural drop off with age shouldn't hit yet, it's just a matter of whether he can stay on the park. He had a fairly good run with injury this year (for him), but I'm not sure there's another year like that coming.
Absolutely true re 2014 and yesterday of course but 2012 was one of the best GFs and 2016 performance wise wasn't terrible.
As in we're not dropping him for the start of the season or like during the season? If the coaches have any balls they would drop him if he chucked up similar performance to that in the prelim and GF...
Reid is re signed for another year
They had 124 marks to 62. How on earth we let them have that much time and space in a grand final is mind boggling. Too much defending grass and not enough man on man? For comparison Collingwood had 68 and Melbourne 77 in our finals against them.
We're not dropping him for Rd 1. I did say we should drop him if he doesn't adapt to the way he should play. But then we've let champions of the club play on at times when they probably should be dropped. I suspect if he's not having the impact we want, we'll "manage" him a couple of times next year. But I doubt we'll see him playing reserves unless coming off an injury.
Sure, there may be several factors at play and they may not be consistent over all the games but bad nonetheless.

Imagine if Hawthorn weren't missing 30m set shots in the first quarter and Mal's insane snap didn't float through.including the one we won

12 first quarter scoreline could've been 7.2.44 to 0.4.4 and we could've been 0 from 4 under Longmire.
I reckon this highlights the entries Geelong where getting, straight out of the middle and into the forward 50. Probably also highlights repeat entries which Geelong are very good at.
And how many of those top 5 Geelong players in age would be in the top 5 best on ground? All of them?
