Winners are grinners and the rest can go and "smile" themselves!

Said to the son in law at half time that if we kick a couple of quick ones early in the third, Geelong will fold. This game was a carbon copy of the 2019 PF.

With 5 minutes to go I kept yelling for Dusty to kick one more and secure the Normie. And what a goal it was.

We are blessed to have such a player and to support such a wonderful club. :gotiges:gotiges

Just want to say to the person who said putting balta in the ruck was a stupid idea.
He was amazing and helped turn the game.

I’d say equal because was a match winner like Martin but was cruelest by injury and hitmen. Love the Cotch and love the Bull
That's the way I see it as well. Royce won us Finals by kicking goals and gathering possessions that gave us the momentum when we needed it, just like Dusty. It was easier for them to target Royce in those days. They can't do that with Dusty these days.

Just watching the replay - it’s magnificent, Geelong absolutely no composure in the third, they went to water AGAIN.

I reckon in a few years I will get confused as I won’t know if I am watching the 2019 Prelim or the 2020 GF.

Just a thought. If you are going to intentionally take out a crucial player in the opening minutes of a Grand Final, the minimum outcome is you go on to win the game :D

DUSTY NORMIE 3 from 3 ..................................greatest Tiger ever ??
It's going to be very hard to argue against. For me, he is up there with the other fantastic no. 4 - Royce Hart - who was captain as well as a similar match-winning player (at CHF) in the huge matches.
Royce lost games due to crippling knee problems which curtailed his career. But, now, Dusty might just have taken the title. Should say that he is to my mind a greater player than Bartlett who was virtually a fully 'outside' player.

(Too 'young' to ever see the one and only Jack Dyer though).

Dusty Martin is a football phenomenon.

They are struggling to call us a great team. To praise us. To give us the kudos we deserve. They flog themselves over Clarko but how many flags has he won? Same as Dimma yet he doesnt get the credit. How Dimma is not the coach of the year to take a Victorian team interstate for 90% season. Have major injuries and still win the Premiership is a travesty! They give it to the bloke that lost the prelim. Screw em
Part of the problem is to base it on the H & A season. It's like declaring the winner of the Cox Plate 400m before the finish line.
