The moment Joel and Patrick first hugged after the game where Joel says "I promised you, I promised you", and Patty crying "You did You did". I would love to know the context of the promise. Someone cuts onions here everytime I watch it.

Best guess would be during our pitch to get Danger from the crows, Joel told him come to us and I promise to make you a premiership player

In what is a very rare thing for me, I actually wanted to read the entire thread before posting and just soak it all in.
Finally I have caught up... I will say though that catempire is a better man than I, for a number of reasons probably but especially wiping out his ignore list.. I can assure anyone that is on it, flag or no flag I have no interest in seeing your shit
Onto the real stuff though. I've been just basking in this happiness since Saturday arvo, I think I enjoyed this flag the most and I think I appreciate it the most from the 4 I've been alive for.
Probably also helped by the fact that I went and it was my first grand final, so it feels different, probably helped by the fact I'm off the gas until after the Melbourne Marathon this weekend so I took it all in, probably helped by just the being close and thinking personally we'd missed our best shot...
And yet we produced such an incredible last few months, a simply phenomenal performance on the biggest stage. Our long term whipping boys all had their moments and played well over the finals, we absorbed and stood up to the pressure against the Pies. Just incredible.
I'm not really sure I can put into words much more, early on we felt dominant from the start and just took a bit to get the score rolling... I took comfort early when Buddy was flying for marks as I knew that isn't his go and if that continues we'd be in good shape. Then in the blink of an eye it was quarter time and I think the general sentiment among me and my friends was WTF just happened... We were floored.. 2nd quarter an arm wrestle, Swans close enough to make it interesting if they were good enough and we came out and snuffed their torch in 5 mins and from there it was party time. The last quarter particularly special as we knew we were home and got great goals.. Loved Parf getting one when coming on, loved SDK getting one, Jez wit the can celebration and of course the Joel goal was something else.
On Joel, what a legacy day for Joel, from Levi at the start, Sammy at the end and every thing in between it was literally the perfect day for our greatest skipper and leader of all time.
I have more thoughts, I just can't put them into writing so I'll spare you all.
Must be time to watch the replay again

Rohan's incredible pressure, like a bull at a gate, tough, fast, uncompromising dishing tackles- that red streak baring down on them causes panic.
His bulk was handy across half back at times too, mainly in and under. Role player. Wouldn't like to run into him in a dark alley.
Deserved a goal, but hey.
Promised they'd win a flag when he crossed over in 2015
Had a tear in my eye for danger on Saturday.. what a superstar

For all you playing at home, over the years I’ve been trying to sway my wife over from a hawks supporter to a geelong supporter.
Apparently my hatred for the hawks early on in our dating was enough for her to stay with them.
Since then we have had a child “no other choice but being a cats fan” she didn’t want to feel left out so nearly had her
Signed her up as an afl member Geelong based “didn’t effect much”
Took her around Australia to watch the cats and ended up at around 10 games.
Turned to her after the siren went, clapping and singing her lungs out.
Asked her are you a cats fan now “Yep” she replied
****ing bandwagon supporters
But we ****ing got her from the dark side

Glad you made her see the light

Just watched the on the couch montage of Joel which got me a bit teary.
As a card carrying member of the Tomahawk fan club I hope his role in all this is not forgotten.
After 2011 and we started to bleed great players, while we kept them as long as we could - Taylor, Enright lasted a long time, Lonergan and Mackie stuck around as well, as the years rolled by the level of absolute elite standard player got smaller and smaller in our squad, rejuvenated of course by Dangerfield. We all know how much Joel, Danger aside, has carried that midfield with little aside from Duncan and in the last 3 years Guthrie. He and danger stood as our two superstars around the ball.
The whole way through that, this giant of a man and a footballer has carried that forward line and not had a single season where he has been anything other than elite. Back injuries, double teaming, slow supply. Whatever the issue, he’s just gotten on with his job and done it, well, as well as anyone in that period and I think in the last 7-8 years you could mount an argument that he’s been as good and influential as buddy albeit without the goal numbers to reflect it.
What a mighty player. What a luxury for the coaching group to just set and forget: yep, Hawk will do his job, no need to worry there.
We salute you hawk

I have a mate who’s off the beers until after October 2 also.
He can’t run for shit. I know, I used to run with him.
I don’t know what got into him.
He did the 1/2 marathon 2 months back in 2:15. (The plan was 2:30)
And now he’s doing the full marathon.
His last run was 34km 2 weeks back. Now he’s in taper mode. So he will get there.
What are you running?
What's more unreal to me is that I see him on the regular and am the same age and height. He is very humble IRL, btw.

I sent the club an email to pass onto him ahead of his 300th and he wrote a couple of personally written emails back to me in response and gave the impression that he is the nicest bloke alive, and having dealt with Danger’s old man for work at one point and asked him ‘is he as nice as everyone says?’ He replied ‘nicer. He’s an utter gentleman.’

Some of the best stuff 360 has ever done
I'm not sure how successful I will be in this, but I am going to make a conscious effort to be gracious in victory on the main board over next few months and not be that tedious bore we may have seen from others

On the topic of Danger, my Uncle went to school with his Auntie, similar words about her. Must run in the family.
As for Tomahawk, it does not surprise me one bit, really happy to read that.
