You learn to live with them here, but the sooner they all take those pooncy car flags off, then it's a good thing.
They do look gone. Great era and not finished yet, but you get the feeling that the Pies have the next dynasty sewn up with such a young and impressive list.

The Geelong period of domination is over.
Like the great lions teams earlier this decade the Cats dominaton is over.
The arrogance of sleeping during the club song, leaving a genuine ruckman out of a side whilst favouring a 60 game nothing player, the coach claiming the opposition is scared of them. Its all fallen apart.
They look slow, old, hesitant and generally inept. Their key forwrads are past their best with a 29 year old rookie the best they have uncovered this year.Their best player looks like he is leaving them. A favourable draw gives them 7 just about automatic wins at home a year - they only play interstate and bootom teams there.
RIP the dominant era.
It could be 10 years before they are a threat for a flag again.

Well and truly over, won't make the 8 next season.
They've had a great run.

GONE.

Credit where it's due, Collingwood have been brilliant. They're putting on immense pressure in congestion. When Geelong do go forward, it's at worst one on one footy but the Pies are finding space too easily in thier own forward half.
Geelong unable to find any space around the ground.

Arrogant and Lazy.
Shame, because they're a hell of a team.

Re: The Geelong period of domination is over.
who cares, they had their time in the sun.
10 years is realistic id take that with any team after such a dominance.
dw the 30 year slumber of that pathetic club richmond is much worse.

Eeriely similar to us in 2001 - Gaz is leaving at the right time.
Well, that's over the top [unless there's a hidden sarcasm there I couldn't detect]. They may not be premiership favourites, but they will play a big part and still be top 4. I wouldn't write them off just yet

I knew they were done when North pushed them at the cattery this year.
Re: The Geelong period of domination is over.
Tom Hawkins is a blouse, I cant understand why Blake isn't out there.
Make no mistake, the one blight on Geelongs reign of domination is the handling of their ruck stocks. Mistreating Stephen King, the persiverance with Blake and losing Mumford will be their greatest failing.

Re: The Geelong period of domination is over.
Blake is a bigger blouse than Hawkins IMO.
Lack of respect to Hawthorn was the worry for me; they seemed to genuine believe that Hawthorn fluked the flag, and that they deserved it.
Re: The Geelong period of domination is over.
We need at least 4 more threads on this, just so everyone is clear.
Seriously, no shit their dominance has to come to an end eventually, but they've won 2 flags and made the most of it.
These threads are pathetic.
