Interesting listening to Tom Atkins after the game. Said several times that Richmond beat them by playing their way which is keeping the ball “alive”. Said it several times. Said he’s played against Richmond a bunch of times and they “do it to us every time” and it’s really hard to play against.
Obviously they like the game a bit more structured, slower, more kicking.

Saw Rebecca Maddern walking out real early in the last quarter with a very sour look on her face. Her husband was about 5 metres behind her and he couldn’t keep up. Must be a lot of salt in the water down in Handbagger town.
I think he was telling you that the reaming our Boy's just gave them was a pain in his arse Mate.
I would go without food for a day and call it fasting just to pelt a
Geelong could raise enough money to buy another premiership if they charged Richmond supporters ten bucks a pop to pelt a pie at Tom Stewart.
It's as if we were bogged for the first part of the season. Every time we tried to put the foot down we just dug ourselves deeper and didn't get anywhere. Last week's second half we finally started moving forward. This week continued that thrust forward, messy at times but constantly moving forward.
I reckon we'll hit the bitumen soon and away we go. This team can still make the finals and we'll still be a threat when we get there.

Jeez he works hard, unbelievable the way he gets up and down the ground, but his skills with the ball were very ordinary last night

Tipping he spends most of his time 5 metres behind her rather than 5 minutes behind her
This is the annual reminder that if you are worried about McIntosh you need to go to the game.
Least of our worries. He was huge last night. The way he got a fist or a contest in on the wing means that Geelong couldn't transition. I honestly don't think we would have won last night without him.
And he gets involved attacking in his own scrappy way. Our surge movement needs him to keep running, bullocking, tapping.
The passage of play that netted Dusty's first goal. Look at it again. That was a fraction of what Kmac offered last night.

Dusty might have kicked four but I thought Cotchin was the star by a whisker. Was great to see our great ex captain show why he is an all time great.
Dan was a machine and a tough bugger, so so important with his clean pickup and skills execution.
Ryan is still that baby giraffe but boy he is going to be something when it clicks.
Lots of people love to *smile* on Gryan but he is the exact type we need. Players that can hit up targets inside 50m with oppos set inside.
We got smashed in clearances for most of the game which was a worry considering who the cats have out of their midfield. As the game went on especially in the third we reversed it.
We lack alot basic skill execution still that was there when we played the Dees. That's a big concern still.

Sphincters will be tightening around Corio Bay. They'll be hitting the glass bbq, getting a cuddle from their favourite sheep, and dreaming of their glory years on the widget assembly line at Ford, the *smile* hicks.
Poor bastard can't get a clean run at it. 1st the knee last year, afehe fked up ho's ankle and now a calf.
I had noticed Essendon fans were bullish about beating us this year, last night has put them back their box with sheer terror. Please, please Tigers make it 14 straight wins next week….
Great game last night. Happiest I’ve been for a long time.
2 highlights for me on the night, not on the ground though
First one was an older handbaggers fan sitting in front of me. He was getting worked up every time Stewart got booed. It was hilarious to watch. The first time, he seemed shocked it happened. Then he kept getting up and looking around to see who was booing
. His wife tried to tell him to calm down. Then he said something saying how disgraceful it was. I couldn’t help myself then. I said was what was disgraceful was what that thug did to Prestia. He’s lucky he wasn’t charged by the cops. He replied there was nothing in it. I calmly said, so there wouldn’t be a problem if I was Stewart and you were Prestia? The look on his face was priceless. Not a peep or movement from him after that ( I was sitting and calm through the whole exchange, wasn’t going to actually do anything, just making a point)
The second one was Dusty’s free. All the handbaggers went troppo, then went feral after the replay. At the top of my voice ( which was nearly gone by then), I yelled out “ who does Dusty think he is, Hawkins?” Then enjoyed the rest of the game

Watching vision of after the game and on social media you can see how much the newish players buy into our club. Listening to Samson, Judson Clark, Hugo and seeing Taranto and Hopper you can see the club/team ethos is so strong.
This to me is why I tend to ignore the gloom and doom. We are a really strong club, run incredibly well and a destination club for players.
We will be fine going forward. The older players leave a great legacy
