Garcia has had some moments in games this season (iirc he was the one that kickstarted the failed comeback vs GWS) and has had some big games in the VFL (had 34 and 3 last week, averaging 20 disposals, 10 tackles and over a goal from his 10 VFL games). Should get more consistency and start more games next season.

Yeah except it’s not, is it. It’s rare and in fact, impossible for players considered certainties to finish top 3 in their club’s most time honoured method of assessing their internal value to their team to be ‘only being picked because they’re related to a club mate who has been absent for two seasons.’

What on earth happened to you? Used to be one of the best and most fun football board contributors.
Now bitter and defensive over Ross Lyon of all people. And throwing around a champing to boot.

The super humble Chris Scott who basically always credits his players over himself is now conceited and awarding himself awards he says he doesn’t care about?
Everyone likes the Saints and Ross Lyon. Everyone likes teams and coaches who don't succeed. It makes it easier for those trying to.
Lots of people don't like Geelong and don't like Chris Scott.

How was Stengle selected for this one, given last weeks incident?
Kane Cornes suggesting he may have burned his last chance, which was OTT, but how do you not miss a single game?

Saints played like they wanted it more in the 2nd half which was a little embarrassing for a Geelong team playing for top 2. Saints won the contest and had loose men everywhere in the 2nd half ….. cats not the real deal Holyfield….. might revert to norm …. Lose QF, win SF and lose PF…. Although getting to a prelim looks a bit much after that 2nd half. Credit to saints….

Have you been cryogenically frozen or something? What are you hoping will happen, they’ll retrospectively suspend him two games after he’s already played Adelaide and Fremantle for passing out in a pub?

I’d argue teams with at least top 5 defences and top 3 transition scoring sides win Premierships since stats back those up.
Attacking footy only works if your players aren’t lazy and run both ways.
Defensive minded footy only works if you can hit a certain score point to offset lack of attack.

If we make a Prelim in a rebuild year that’ll be insane. I had us 7th and first week and out.
Anything more than that is a bonus
Yes, and this has always been Lyon's issue. Against sides who also can defend, his teams don't have a good enough balance between defence and offense to score enough. They did well tonight against a Geelong side that wasn't good enough, but play like they did in the first half and a really good side would have trounced them, which is often the case with Lyon football.
Even at his very best, with sides brimming with talent, he got found out in finals because his sides were too conservative and couldn't score enough.
Get back to us when your club wins a grand final at the MCG for the first time since 1964. That puts you in company with St Kilda and no other Victorian team for truly dire runs.
Hell, Geelong have won more finals at Melbourne's home ground in the past 3 seasons than the Demons have in the past 18. Back to back straight sets is Melbourne's singular notable MCG achievement in finals since 2001. I don't think any other side has achieved that in the AFL era.

Care to share who is a first rounder in the team?
I am just the same.
Champ you changed
It really breaks their programming when a Ross Lyon side outscores theirs.
