Geelong played Brisbane & Essendon twice this year. They were gifted 4 wins and hefty percentage as a result. They're not a bad side, but nowhere near premiership material. They have way too many spuds in their side.
Crikey even we showed them up!

Alir just went down with a knee. Not a Swans fan but hope he's OK, I like the kid.
Every dead body on Mt Everest was once a highly motivated person, so maybe just calm the **** down.

Looked like he landed awkwardly so he may have only jarred his knee.

Alir should have got a free kick for tunnelling against McCarthy, instead gets injured.
If Geelong couldn't pressure from an undermanned Collingwood, they were never going to handle it in a high pressure final. They were lucky they played Hawthorn in the Qualifying Final, which was one of the most open and uncontested finals I have seen.

It begs the question why were they favourites with the bookies.
we don't eat our own at collingwood we just allow them to foul our nest.

This pressure by the swans is insane. They're playing like a team possessed.

Seems he might be a chance to get back on the ground, hopefully its not too bad. I have watched a bit of him before he made it to the AFL, he's a good player just hoping he can finish off his good season.
