Only watched the last quarter, geez both sides looked tired.
I was actually quite surprised that Footscray did so well, with their defence I reckon they are a very slim chance to get a flag, you need a better defence than they have.
Exciting game but very messy. When you consider this is 2 of the teams in the top 4 I can't say it was much of a spectacle.
In the end either side could have won. Bit surprised Geelong had more inside 50s in the last quarter, thought Footscray were getting it in there more. But Geelong looked more potent up forward, even though Footscray should have put the game away a couple of times, but a couple of shocking misses left the door open. You don't leave the door open for Geelong, they'll kill you.
I've said it for a while, Geelong look the goods. A team who led at half time in the previous Grand Final and added a couple of quality players, well, it don't take much to work out they should be serious contenders.
After the game my partner asked if there was a Grand Final between Melbourne and Geelong who would I prefer wins? Bloody hell that is hard. If it wasn't for Scott and Dangerfield, neither of who I can stand, I would say Geelong in a flash. Don't want Melbourne to be equal to us for premierships. But, geez, Danger getting a flag? Can't stand him, milks for frees all the time. Just hope it doesn't happen.
