Have had a history of doing that. They played St Kilda in the last round back in 1968 and lost keeping us from making the four at that time. The week after they played St Kilda again and smashed them by over ten goals......................

Irrelevant question. If we were playing half decent footy we wouldn't need to be developing inane conspiracy theories to try n justify ourselves.

Guys

At risk of repeating other posters’ comments, the result last night has no bearing on whether we make the finals or not. We play GWS next week. If we win today and the remaining 2 games, we leapfrog GWS.

absurd.

1. last nights result it makes absolutely no difference to our hopes, because we play GWS, hopefully with 2 points between us.

2. Cats aren't guaranteed top 4, so zero chance they'de tank. 0, none, nada, zilch.

Cats were complacent, Leon came up with a blueprint that could see them go out in straight sets.

keep your forwards deep, and their intercepters accountable. Its exactly the lever Dimma pulled at HT in the 2020 GF.

stick with Shocking conspiracies, they are much more realistic and fun.

No they didn't. And really, who cares. We haven't played well enough to be in the 8. The focus should be on our own performances.

Pussies were shown up for speed
Theyre old bodies couldn’t keep up
Were responsible for keeping ourselves out of the 8 by constantly gifting players games when they aren’t upto it

I wouldn't put it past them, but in reality they probably didn't.

It's hasn't stopped me from getting up my Geesook supporting best man at my wedding about it though.

What did the *smile* stick spew out last night?
He thinks his shiit dosent stink.
Wanted at Geelong offers from GC to move back North.
He must be the biggest underachievier in the history of the game.
Fingers crossed they go out in straight sets

Didn’t see the game but I wouldn’t imagine so , not at the elite level

if you are good enough you install a culture of backing yourself to beat anyone and everyone …. Surely ,

otherwise you are creating doubt
