Stuffed up Geelongs finals chances.
Melbourne can overtake us with a win.
Wanted the win but good result

Yep loved it a lot. Four quarters of great effort. Holmes rather good for a first game.
As Bergholt said, wish I'd gone.

Great to knock them out and still let Melbourne pass us tomorrow to give us pick 5. Happy as a pig in s***. :D

That's some seriously good tanking
7 changes umpteen players under 50 games American ruck man debuting like air Jordan and we manage a draw and still strong grip on pick 5!!!

Cheer up, it's a great result. Actually better than a win. Guys will gain just as much confidence as a 1 point win and our draft position will more than likely improve. Cats are also shattered. Happy days.

bulls*** - Geelong had more possessions, more contested possessions, more tackles, more inside 50s more marks, more frees and more to play for - we had more clearances and more clangers

+1! Just got home and whole family absolutely knackered, but bloody thrilled to see Holmes' first game, Savage's tackle and the idiot loudmouth Cats supporters plonked in the middle of the members escorted out by Victoria's finest ...

In the end yes, but a draw is a whole lot better than a loss. Now that would've hurt like hell.

That first miss by Savage to put us a goal and a half up near the end probably cost us the game in the wash up.

But his chase down on Johnson in the 2nd quarter might have saved it

It was mentioned last week that negotiations with Tird commenced after the StK game.
So we can take IMMENSE pleasure that our win was the catalyst for his sacking.
Suck on that Botox boy :D
