my feelings about Geelong being the premiersGlad I'm in Botswana away from the media coverage there .. Bring on Trade time .
A lot of magnanimous posting here on how Geelong deserved the flag and how good they are.
I have contacted my Cats supporting friends and sent congratulations through.
It’s been more than 12 hours now so that all has to stop

With the Cats more mature list then most ,it will be interesting to see if clubs keep there older players longer now and recruit more mature/experienced players ? as we know the AFL are very sheep like .
No doubt the Cats have been as good as any club over the past 15 odd years , amazingly consistent, yes they have a home ground advantage like no other club, however that’s a whole different argument ( all grounds should be the same imho)
Joel Selwood is without doubt one of the toughest players to play the game , yes the ducking tarnishes him and that’s hurt the game , however I think yesterday proved what decent human he is and a deserving premiership captain.
The Cats provided lots of great different routs and personal stories with the Premiership, from Stengle, Blicavs, Thouy even Smith .
Hate saying however personal dealings with Salty Scott he is actually a pretty decent humble bloke to deal with and probably deserves this flag
Also a fitting way for Stephen Wells to sign out , has no peers in the list management game , he is everything Dudoro isn’t.
Finally the one thing about the Cats flag of 22 that leaves a bad taste ( dare I say salty) is the SHocking involvement , incredible corrupt way to win a flag .
Anyway well done to Geelong football club and there rare decent fans let’s bring on 2023 , I know this win is going to hurt our boys like no other .

At least we won't hear about the wombat Pkye anymore.
He helped Sydney as much as he did Adelaide.
Has ever a coach left a club in a such a mess??

We have now officially entered the 2022-23 Abyss.
Good luck everyone dealing with the incredible boredom of The Abyss for the next 5 months. I find the NFL helps. Maybe we could start a support group up or something. Oh the boredom…….

I’m actually warming to Geelong now.
Before the lynch party is assembled, consider this -
Of all the teams who have played top four footy over the last 5-6 years, Geelong are the ONLY team who haven’t shirked on their efforts year in, year out.
The Bulldogs. The Crows. The Giants. The Demons. The Magpies.
The Tigers.
All have had lapses.
It would take enormous discipline and mental fortitude to front up again and again, despite the punches in the face they have received, especially from us.
Much, much respect. They are a great club.
Chris Scott is a great coach.
Now that my schadenfreude has dissipated, I can now see them for what they are - champions.
Like us.

Good point. ... I have to admit, I've become a bit of a hater and that was only because of the way I believed he instigated this ducking stuff which I've found terrible for the game.
There was a time where I found him to be an absolute star and even as an opposition supporter, I loved watching him play.
So it's been a bit difficult to change my way of thinking. Even the stuff with Prestia and Stewart this year where most of us think it was premeditated, with Selwood basically congratulating him is a bit hard for me to reconcile.
All that aside, he's obviously a tough bastard and would die for his teammates so kudos for that.
I lasted till they were 5 goals to 1 in Q1 - then called it quits
Had my phone for the scores in case things changed
Mowed the lawn
Played a few holes on an empty course
Last night watched the 2019 Prelim to preserve my own memory of Dangerflop, Sellwood and Hawkins (up in the box)
2020 2022 Geelong
The difference
2020 Taylor, Ablett, Henderson, Simpson, Dalhouse & Menogla
2022 Stengle, Cameron, Smith, Close, The Viking, Henry
Get the inclusions right and success will follow
**we haven't beaten Geelong since the 2020 GF.

Watched enough of the first qtr to see Tommyhawk make the Hick look like an idiot twice in a row. Checked the half time score n sent my Bro a congratulatory text.
Hoping we pull the finger out n get back into contention next year. Watching other teams blow their opponents away in Grannies is just so underwhelming.
Oh well, Eels n Panthers next week n a hint of Bathurst the week after. Must be gettin close to helpin the missus set up the vegie patch n twiddlin the thumbs time.

Spot on was thinking about that never seen cats have lapses this year or silly incidents like we had 5 tigers in goal square and one lions player kicks the winning goal happened to often this year brain fades.
