I think it’s really interesting that Fages highlighted in his presser that Geelong weren’t necessarily match fit due to easy game - bye - easy game - bye. I remember one of his bugbears in our early finals exits was the one game in 28 days. Looks like he’s proving his own theory there.

The AFL will have to change the pre-finals bye when Tassie come in. Imagine a top four team have a bye in the last round. Could go rnd23 - bye - bye - QF - bye - PF. They get over their injuries, but would need to put in a serious training block not to lose match fitness.

He's playing mind games with our guys. You aren't tied and sore, you're match fit.

Yeh Fages! Wow that’s so deserved! Can’t imagine the pressure he’s been under with all the Hawthorn racism issues - that alone is such a challenge to weave your way through when you can’t answer those allegations in public - let alone contend with the pressure of being an afl coach. Congrats Fages!
 
Hell yeah fages! He has had an extremely tough run of it the last two years, very happy for him and glad he is our coach. Love it.

Good to see some of the assistants with links to the Lions as player (Pratt) and assistant (Tapping) also recognised
