He played his heart out and just missed out on a GF. Bitter pill to swallow.

It’s not even correct. South Melbourne were the bloods until 1933, and Fitzroy were then known as The Maroons.
First Grand Final between Swans and Lions. Vics need to stop making it about themselves.
Feel like the Swans will turn up thinking they’re gonna cruise to an easy flag, and the Lions will give them a punch in the nose.
They’ve got a point to prove after last year.

Well **** you too Fages!
Swans have been hurting for 24 months after what happened in 2022 as well.
Both teams are hell-bent on redemption.
Has all the makings of a truly brutal contest, hopefully a classic.
And 5 of those non vic winners had COLA at the time, so its 4/15 if you remove those
Facts is facts.

He has a point though - Geelong had played two matches in six weeks, with both of those matches low in contests and pressure - which is hardly an ideal preparation coming into a Preliminary Final.
At the least it seems to have worked internally in driving belief amongst his players against an opponent that had bullied the Lions multiple times in finals over recent years.
Hopefully it gets more attention in the media - if it starts to be framed as the reason why Geelong lost, you can bet the Eagles won't be finishing seasons at Kardinia Park anymore.
I see Chris Scott managed to mention every excuse he didn't want to use for the loss in his presser.
Also if we contributed in any way at all to Geelong's loss, be it not offering a contest or making King fly across the country I'd say good on us.

If we're going to continue to be terrible, at least it's nice to think that we prevented the Cats from preparing well. Still, it wasn't as harsh as the drive-by on Port being impressively awful

The bastards have won 4 in the past 17 years. Weren't expected to contend this season. Doubt they'll be losing sleep over this.

Whose coaching legacy has more to lose from the GF?
If you’re Longmire, another loss makes 1 win out of 5 GF appearances.
If you’re Fagan, 0/2 GF appearances and that glut of straight sets exits and chokes in past prelims comes back into focus?

Longmire seems weirdly untouchable. Fagan would cop it worse.
No Vics?
I might be rock hard

Better be - I've got tickets
Urgh, go back to '05, all the talk was "the bloods", "South Melbourne", longest premiership drought... It was nauseating
Too me, and a huge portion of the fan base, we only know the swans as Sydney, and although I have a few memories of Fitzroy, to me Brisbane are Brisbane and Fitzroy are no more.
Time to let it go Victoria
