Game of the Year.

wow, unbelievable post.... maybe rather then ppl having to check post time add some description/substance?

Actually, it gave people an extra chance to stumble out of the thread without seeing a spoiler.

how good was Gabletts goal...

If the Cats had won, we would see about 50 threads asking us to marvel at the great G.Ablett. I'm yet to see a Cassisi thread...

It was a good kick but it was a standard running goal... port were in front all day and should have won, nothing that special.

Gablett's goal was GotY contender, the way he got himself out of the pack to kick it, and put geelong in front at the right time.

Stupid thing to say mate.

You mean adding something like, "Cats vs Power"?

Spot on

Ablett would have had a website dedicated to him by now

Massive pressure kick with 6 seconds left. Nothing 'run-of-the-mill' about it. GAbletts was brilliant. As was Cassisi's. But we'd have seen a bigger fuss made of Ablett's goal had Geelong won.

Great game! I jumped off the lounge when Port kicked that last goal.. very happy they won. Much deserved!

This will sound weird, but great loss for geelong. That one will sting, and remind them just how bad it is to lose. Perfect lead into September if you ask me.

I don't believe that. If anything it will give hope to every team that comes up against them from here on in.

Not sure why I'm either bothering, but yes your right, thats the reason I brought up your atrocious posting style.... in all seriousness *eidt for sp?, who cares I guess.

Fair enough, but add a possible Brownlow medal-winning midfielder as well as one of the top 2 taggers in the game and then reality sets in to those other teams I reckon.

That was unbelievable, i picked a draw at half time but cassisi got the goal.

Me too

Bloody port!!

Quite true. Geelong are still firm favourites for the flag and rightfully so. I just don't subscribe to the theory that a loss before finals is a good thing.

Did anyone else listen to the game on 3AW?

When Cassisi kicked the winning goal it was interesting to hear Rex say "Geelong have lost the game" rather than "Port have won".

We did lose the game.

We piss farted around with the ball, handpassed it to Playfair who coughed it up to Cassissi. All Ottens had to do was bang it long down the line and we were home.

Geelong V Port Adelaide.

A taste of that final saturday in September.

2 best sides in the competition.

I agree!!

Well if you isolate that last 30 seconds, he's correct. Henry Playfair got tackled, and coughed it up straight to Cassisi. Don't think we'll be seeing much of Hank again.

 

[hype]

abletts goal was brilliant

Bit over the top.. it was great. But not a miracle or brilliant. Probably the timing of it made it more important/better than it really was. And like I said before, his opponent kicked the winning goal...

Anyway, well done port. You really screwed us over.

CARN FREO!!

One of us can bump this when September's done

You are taking the piss. Wealready know your opinion isn't worth squat anyway.

 

[Ported]

You're all forgetting Thurstans' brilliant tackle to give Dom the shot.

How can you compare the two? I reckon one player on the field could have kicked Ablett's and about 44 Cassisi's. Yeah it was at a crucial stage, but it was a stock standard goal for an AFL player. Having said that, I was still bloody happy that he kicked it.

It was a great game and Geelong would lose no admirers out of that. We won the game in the clearances and Geelong were down in that area with no Bartel or Selwood and also Ling to close down S Burgoyne. However, you can only beat who's there and we did that. This will give us a tremendous confidence boost going into September and could ensure we get a home prelim. MASSIVE Win.
