How many minutes of good footy do geelong have to play to beat hawthorn ?

[Biffinator]

I've never read so much rubbish in my life.

KG, I could not agree more.

I have already put in a formal complaint re the amount of effluence in this thread.

It is a bit like being up a certain creek with the Mars Bars floating past - well, at least I think they are Mars Bars.

I was and I remain deeply shocked.

That being said, in light of one of your recent threads, does not a night in Geelong make a hard man humble?

Biffinator.

About 16 going on tonights game.

 

[super_phaser]

I counted about 11 and a half minutes.

You act like an arse clown but you're one of the few Cats fans that would get this.

I know you guys are confident you have the talent to beat us, but you must be shitting yourself watching us thinking whether you have the heart.

For this reason I can't wait to play you guys, but if we can and are ready I'm confident we will win.

As for toying with opposition sides, both our teams have. I concede we've been in 4th and 5th gear a bit, whilst you guys have been in 2nd, but you are a year ahead of us.

But do your guys have the ticker GC?

No, but we still beat you pretenders.

 

[PoidaCat]

I counted about 11 and a half minutes.

Sorry I didn't count the deductible (the umpires).

Cheers mate.

 

[Archie Jnr]

I counted about 11 and a half minutes.

I think you might have included the quarter time and three quarter time breaks in there.

Easy mistake to make

 

[McManus2Waterhouse]

about 5 i reckon it was

 

[keefriffhard]

Just imagine what will happen when they play like that for 4 quarters

They'll finish as runners up?

 

[Collins-Langford-Ayres]

Do the Cats get to include the umps in their playign list when they talk about them playing good footy? They did yesterday.

"I was going to the worst place in the world and I didn't even know it yet. Weeks away and hundreds of miles up a river that snaked through the war like a main circuit cable - plugged straight into GC_26. It was no accident that I got to be the caretaker of GC_26 memory - any more than being back in Geelong was an accident. There is no way to tell his story without telling my own. And if his story really is a confession, then so is mine."

Keefriffhard - it would appear that the Colonel Kurtz of the Geelong Bay 13 Tribe - Geelong Crazy IQ 26 - has resumed broadcasts from his fortified compound at the upper reaches of the Barwon River.

Evidently he survived the B-52 strike that occurred at the end of September - emerging unscathed except for a case of concussion.

He is now rambling on about tainted premierships and the amount of time he spends playing in the cubby-house with the girls.

What are we to do?

Next time, try a nuclear warhead - but remember, cockroaches survive that, too!

 

[Pessimistic]

Best thread to bump ever.

If Geelong were so good they could have won the game in the 10 minutes or so left of playing time when they actually gave up.

Credit to the geelong 1989 team who never gave up in their GF.

Gotta revise the 2008 AA team methinks

 

[TAYLOR!]

We didn't give up. Especially Gary so you can't say that the team gave up!
The thing about that grandfinal we would have won had we kicked goals instead of points. so you can't say that you "outplayed" us because you didn't. you just outscored us!

rubbish.

we outplayed you in the first, third and fourth quarters. the only goals you were getting to get back into the game were mostly umpire related, you couldn't get any kind of system going all day, we out played you.

you had one OK quater, that was extremely over-rated, and you never actually dominated the game at any time, especially in the most important area. Of course we outplayed you, we won the game comfortably, you can't do much more than that.

people who are saying this rubbish that Geelong lost it are just people who can't admit they were wrong, because if you watch the actual game you will see Hawthorn were just better with and without the ball.

What people also forget is we were 2 men down (both key players as Croad is our only big backman, and Young was BOG before going off) for half the game, and the Cats still weren't good enough to run over us in the second half. The second half had absolutely nothing to do with scoring shots, and you still weren't good enough to beat a side with 2 men off injured for the rest of the game.

 

[Judd2Sewell]

Hear here that man.

No doubt these are the same pillocks that haven't actually watched the game since, as opposed to us who've at least watched it several times.

 

[That's deliberate]

Won the game easily by 4+ goals with 2 players short for half a game whilst they played with 2 extras all day(umpires)....maybe we should have aloud them to run around on there own for 20 minutes.....we still would have won.

 

[Stewie Griffin]

Since the start of the season we have watched geelong tease the opposition by letting them get a head start and thinking they are chance of winning then and than crushing their hopes by deciding to play a few good minutes of footy

The question is how many minutes of good footy do geelong have to play to beat hawthorn ? I would say 20 mins of good footy would do it and than we can all sit back and watch the hawthorn supporters have their big cry.

geelong are 100 points better than them, just look at how good geelong are when they actually try its like they are a level above AFL standard.Just imagine what will happen when they play like that for 4 quarters

Not sure about the op but it only took Stewie Dew about 5 minutes of good footy to tear your mob a new ass.

If the umpires hadn't handed you 5 of your 11 goals you would have got spanked. The misses equaled out the dodgy goals from frees imo.

 

[Gilbert_Hodge]

Bwhahaha of keep these bumped threads coming!

And if your aunty had balls, she'd be your uncle.

Bad kicking is bad football. Woulda, coulda, shoulda.

Fact is you didn't, and were beaten by the better team on the day.

ps - isn't OUTSCORING your opposition the main point of the game?

I'm fairly devo to agree with you, but your right. It is important to remember, while Geelong were the best team all year, Hawthorn were the best team on the day-thats all they needed to be.

Wrong.

Geelong were the best team of the minor round.

Hawthorn were the best team of the finals.

Bahahaha, this thread should be bumped before round 1!

Now you really are delusional. have another look
