Agree with all three of these, although mainly #2 on your list as that was the most conspicuous failure tonight imo. So many of them looked like they didn't know what to do when the ball was on the deck in the second half; the amount of times we had players standing off the ball expecting others to do the hard work, and/or tentatively tapping it around in a panicked "oh shit wtf do I do" fashion was galling.
Autopsy Geelong defeated by Tigers by 31 points.

Well, we did win the GF sprint
Agreed.
There needs to be a plan for "what do we do when they come". Either we didn't have one or just pulled the trigger way too late.
He salvaged the season and Tigers won a flag. He's a hero to Victorians.

Im still trying to figure out what Gill said to Danger after the match, was sort of animated
Could had. Could had
What can you do.. they were way more dominant in the second half.
Couldn’t stop it. Early the 3rd was the most important part of this game and we stuffed that moment

Taylor is gone going to retire and actually also was probably in our bottom six still good enough to play though. Stanley, Dahlhaus and Rohan all have been good at times tend to think it is inevitably too early to move them on even though there could be better options we can play. Henderson may go although we may need him in defence for another year. Clark was the big loss this year he had happened to look the good last year and actually am thinking if he wasn’t injured and also actually inexperienced he would have played more this season when available again.

They lost Floss tone early .
We should of scored more in the second when we were on top.
They adjusted flicked the switch .
Got the game on their terms.
Last Q we needed GF hero's but we were stuffed.
They were too good.
I don't don't know how they do it.
But it shites me.

Richmond are just far to good no team would have defeated them imo! We gave them a really good go maybe with a bit more polish in our disposal we could have taken the game to the wire but just seems they are better and have become somewhat of a bogey team for us right now! Hard to believe I know considering the years of domination we had over them!
Overall proud of the boys this season! hopefully one step further in 2021!
gonna miss the Little Master!

That’s the important result hey?
Depends on what we want. Elite user by foot, him playing HFF, in Ablett's role, and kicking to Hawkins and Cameron could be a godsend.
They won back to back, won interstate finals and won during one of the most difficult years in the history of footy, particularly for a Vic side. Relatively one could certainly say they've achieved more. Subjectively I'm sure many on here would say the standard of the comp at least 08-11 was higher and the Geelong side more talented. But such arguments don't really make it to or at least make a resonating impact in the record/history books.

Any chance Scotty resigns after that season, has been tough, wouldn't blame him.

They get ugly ball, they kick, hack and knock it forward. They hit their forward line with a fleet of mobile players knocking the ball amongst themselves to be confronted by Kolo, Henry, O'Connor and Blicavs all under the pump and indecisive.
We fumbled around trying to take possession, and failing and they just knock it on.
We know how they play and still had no answer. Martin slaughtered us. Nankervis killed us in the second half.

He shouldn't have been in it.
I consumed literally zero football-related media for the entire post-season after that. I went in to full lockdown and didn't read or watch a single thing to do with AFL until the 2009 season begun, so desperate was I to tune out that result. It worked too to be fair, since getting away from footy entirely for 5 months or whatever it was helped me cope with the disappointment.
This one I feel confident I'll find easier to deal with. I'll probably avoid AFL media for the next week or so but that's about it.
Heh - yepppppp....it's weird that we have all these grand final sprint winners, but when it comes to chasing a bloke who has the ball, they all become Sam Mitchell with concrete shoes

He doesn’t come across as a quitter. I can at least see him serve out his contract.
