Done.
What a game. What a hell of a game. Best Granny we have had in years - even better than last years draw. I really enjoyed watching.
I'm super happy for Jimmy, because I am a fan of his, but think that Ling should have got the North Smith for the job he did on Swan while getting 20 touches and a goal himself.
Agreed, Yeah it was a magnificent grand final, the intensity was ridiculous even for the biggest game of the year & the momentum swung like a pendulum.
Geelong stood up when it mattered & Collingwood got the wobbles as is their tradition luckily Mick Malthouse blamed it on injuries...lol....seriously....
Steve Johnson done his knee the week before & it was a miracle he played....credit to him & his 4 goals.
Hawkins was the man in that third quarter & for a much maligned player he stood up when it counted & will definitely go down as a Geelong icon for life, we wouldn't have won if he hadn't played out of his mind.
Bartel was amazing & he goes down as one of the only men in history to be a brownlow winner,norm smith medalist & premiership player...It was a good choice but Selwood & Hawkins had great claim aswell.
3 premierships in 5 years is an amazing achievement in the modern game, Geelong will go down as one of if not the greatest sides of all-time.
