Better yet a compilation of Stagerfield etc diving & then cutting to the box for his freakout reactions. if i knew how i'd make one myself
Open the video with 2007-2009 Geelong and a comment from someone saying “anyone could coach this team to a flag”.
Flash to 2011 celebrations by Scott in the box.
Then rinse and repeat the following formula for the next 10 years:
Clip 1: Scott calmly and smugly talking up Geelong during the H&A season
Clip 2: Danger flopping in a final
Clip 3: Scott going ballistic in the box
Clip 4: The post-match reaction
It’s incredible how many times this has happened, it wouldn’t even require selective editing.
Would love to see Big Ty make a comeback in blue and white hoops!
Its great isnt it.
I actually believe if it wasn’t for the tigers, the cats would most likely have 2 extra flags now and Scott would be an all time great.
But they didn’t, we did, and as the line between great and dud is not large, Scott is still dreamingly looking across that line to coaches like Hardwick …..
I rewatched the 2017 qual against the cats last night, it’s my all time favourite game of this modern era, the cats threw everything at us, we absorbed over 37 years of pressure and then absolutely smashed them off the park. Since then, we just know we can beat them when it matters and they know it to.
100%
Footy can be fickle - sliding doors and all that - but given what happened with that combination of games i.e.
2017 QF
2019 PF
2020 GF
are just glorious wonderful joyful (if I had a thesaurus I’d look for another dozen adjective) happy happy memories
Life changing really
And every time I bump into Geelong supporting mates - even without mentioning footy - I try to remember to wipe a smug smile off my face

Had to just about choke back tears that night. Hadn’t won a final for decades and had been Geelong’s *smile* for at least 10 years. Game in the balance and Dusty won a one on one with Stewart with Geelong going into attack - ball whizzes up the wing to Prestia standing by himself having an espresso about 10 metres out. Goal and then…..away we went…. And Geelong couldn’t do anything about it………
I watched those QF highlights for old time sake today.
Didn’t disappoint.
After all the losses to them over the years these 3 wins in finals have been fantastic. Turning them into our bitches has been one of the great things about our dynasty.
My favourite is the shot of him in the box with 13:11 to go in the third quarter of the 2020 Grand Final.
We have kicked the last two goals (Martin just before half time and Riewoldt just after).
Castagna has just marked 45 out.
We are still nine points behind but everything about his body language says "We are f***ed".
Enjoy:
Without us G.Rohan would be a Premiership player....
That was a great game, the one where we all started to truly believe. IMHO it really should have been done at half time we just couldn't put them away early. it's funny watching it back how they are talking us not winning a Final in 16 yrs & us not beating them in over a decade. it seems odd thinking about all that now.
