The Age has an interesting article regarding how under Harry Taylor the club totally focused on getting everyone primed for the finals. I know they've been saying bits and pieces but it does seem Geelong is the first club to really do this in a fully formed way.

Also nice story about the Hawkins bros.
One thing Harry always was supreme at was preparing himself for games. Glad it’s just another of the valuable pieces that have made huge differences at the pointy end of the year.

He's just a bitter old flog trying to keep the tiniest spot light on his irrelevant face.
And that face is so tight if has another facelift he'd be able to use dental floss as a blindfold
 
Watching the replay for the third time. Fun quote from James Brayshaw in the first after Close's goal: "Chris Scott, when he put his head on the pillow last night, could not have dreamt of this start."

Honestly, we haven't really seen a first-quarter belting like this since the 07 days. I know we've scored big, but mostly against poor opponents. There's been talk that Sydney didn't play well, but I'm actually thinking that we just didn't give them an opportunity to play well. The heat was just on them from every centre bounce. The physicality was scary from the Cats. Dangerfield just played possessed. Stanley just crashing in and dictating exactly where the ball went at every clearance. Sydney players got sucked into the coalface to double team Danger/Guthrie, and still they won contested balls and dished out to free players to set up the next chain. The work-rate and desperation was genuinely fierce. Like '07, we would've beaten anybody playing like this.
 
Thought I’d join the party and get a premiership profile picture.

Don’t know why it took me so long.

I'm in on the premiership profile pic as well... as I'm sure we all agree that without my boy Jordy Murdoch, there is no way we win 2022!

As Mike Tyson once said, "Everybody's got plans... until they get hit."

Geelong got the first hit in on Saturday. Locked it down in the forward line, and then went to work on the Swans.
