Second Elimination Final - Geelong vs Fremantle

[red+black]

Can't remember a bigger finals upset than this.

big upset tonight but '99 prelim was a way bigger upset

 

[The Speaker]

I suggest everyone put pavilion103 on their Ignore List.

It's okay, he bet that he would delete his account if Geelong didn't win by 50+.

 

[ajdude]

You take a loss better than I could. Kudos for the good form

when they play that horribly from the outset and freo play that well, you can't really not respect freo haha! but they're a team i've loved watching the last couple of months, i just want someone different up there

 

[Hawkers]

Awesome night. I've loved my last two nights.
Now over to the F1 to watch Webber struggle to make the top 10

 

[Charliebrow 16]

I don't actually mind the Fremantle song. It has some energy to it, and after tonight I suspect fans will deliver a rousing rendition.

 

[Adelaide Hawk]

Umpires have killed us

No mate, Freo and your own arrogance has.

 

[Dickie Greenleaf]

Lot of Hawk fans blow a huge sigh of relief.

EDIT: F U Darcy.

looking forward to the pavillion104 alt account

I suggest everyone put pavilion103 on their Ignore List.

I suggest everyone get some popcorn and make yourselves comfortable.

Well done Freo. Cats just couldn't match it with them. Pav was seriously awesome. Seemed to dig deep and nail goals every time Geelong gained any momentum.

I'll be cheering for them the rest of the finals series. Hope they show this form in Adelaide next week.

 

[Stifler's mom]

Yep. Getting screwed by the umps.

23-13 frees Geelong's way.

Geelong got a WC run tonight.

 

[BACCS]

The only positive for the Crows is that Freo look pretty spent and sore.

And the travel. But damn, Freo looked damn slick with their ball movement tonight, I'm genuinely worried about them next week, especially with no Talia on Pav.

 

[RustyHawk]

Well done Freo, hard fought but well deserved win.

 

[bugalugs213]

The umpiring in that last ten minutes was pathetic.
They single handedly got Geelong to within distance.

 

[RuFiO]

HAHA!
God I wish the players had a better song to sing in the rooms!

 

[GNFNR]

lol Taylor, such a backman.


Geelong to join the illustrious list of teams that have lost a final to Fremantle.
- Geelong
- Hawthorn


That is all.

And do you know why? Because they did exactly what Hwthorn did, they had already pencilled in the win and were looking ahead to who else they thought they would beat in subsequent finals.

Too funny!

 

[QS]

Pretty tame rendition of the song.
Loved Sydney's the Bloods' version today

 

[Flukey!]

A perfect weekend just got better.
Heave Ho Freo

not bad freo

cats too old and slow

 

[Silent Alarm]

It's taken Freo 18 seasons to win a final in Melbourne.
Meanwhile, it took us 6..

Yeah, you also had the entire state squad.

You guys really are the worst bunch of supporters in the league. Collingwood fans get a bad rap, but jesus, you are the most bitter.

 

[Public Enemy No1]

23-13 frees Geelong's way.

Geelong got a WC run tonight.

No Geelong got a Geelong run
But other than that your post is just wrong

 

[E92_]

Give it a rest mate, this is freos first ever finals away win at a venue where we have lost something like 27 of the last 30 games, let every single supporter and player lap it up a bit before the next challenge in Adelaide.

Actually surprised they didn't go all out in celebrations. Kudos.

 

[Old M8]

Car crash accident. Darcy, oh Darcy...

Lol'd at that.

Anyone hear BT say people wondered whether Barlow would ever play footy again. Good God. It's was a broken leg FFS.

I reckon if you put BT and Darcys IQ points together it wouldn't even equal Geelongs total score from tonight.

 

[Ducky Tie]

Great effort from Freo. Ross is a genius. Scarlett was appalling but has been a great player. Disappointing note for him to go out on but hopefully it doesn't overshadow his career. Adelaide vs Freo should be good. Wouldn't surprise me if Freo got up.
