34 hit outs to Cox Vs 21 for the Swans collectively tells a story for mine.

Over half of them would have been taps to advantage too. I'm not saying Embley was bad, played an awesome game, but Cox was clearly best on IMO. Don't really care though tbh, and you can't say Embley didn't 'deserve' it.

He was a top player 2day, but thought Cox and Kerr were better.. thats all..

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

Kerr played one awesome quarter. Cox was consistent, but didn't win the game IMO. Without Embley in the HB line WC were ****ed.

 

[benchmark00]

Shocking.

 

[Buddhmaster]

Embley did more around the ground than Cox, but you're right, Cox was awesome in the tap outs. But he is made look good by the fact Kerr and Judd are so good at roving and break away so many times.

****ing absolute brilliance. Best GF of this era. Embely was amazing. That "Leo Barry" mark he took late in the 4th was pure class. Kerr as well played like a true champion. Ted Richards though, played the game of his life. Reminded me of Ted Hopkins in 1970. Hall had a shocker and Goodes and Micky didn't play to their high standards.

WC deserved that one and I'm still shaking. So amazing. How funny was Quinten Lynch intervied after the game when he goes on live TV and says "****ing amazing".

So, who won again? Man, I'm feeling seedy.

I kind of recall declaring the Eagles the winner at quarter time. The Swans errors under pressure and those gimmes they missed in the first quarter were the difference. Eagles got the jump and just held out.

I don't know why people even bother with the pre-match enterainment, it is and has always been crap. I didn't see any of it but It couldn't have been more cringeworthy than Kath and Kim and Dame Edna from last year. That was embarassing.

Sliders: Collingwood, Adelaide and Geelong.

Pretty tough to slide from 10th I would have thought. Thompson in charge might mean another non appearance in the finals but I can't see Geelong slipping into the bottom 4 - they never have in my lifetime.

Point blank, Ted Richards single handedly almost won me some money, and then single handedly cost me that same money he almost won by kicking that ****ing ball on the full. He could have been the biggest legend ever if he just scored with that kick, or hit a target. Poor Ted.

People who say Barry Hall was 'shut down' are only half right. Barry Hall will play 22 games next year and will not miss the simple shots he missed in today's Grand Final. He was shocking.

Leo Barry is another player who played awful.

And Embley was Norm Smith in my mind... what about that mark he took in the dying seconds?

Also, Kirk and Goodes were awful in the first half and lifted when their team needed them to. Stars. Nick Davis too, I called him in the first quarter to take them over the line. Didn't quite do that, but he was spectacular.

Amazing game, pretty much. Can't believe my $50 bet with my mate that WC would win by <4 came through. Love it.

RIP Fox Footy

[Robertinho]

They should pay compensation to those who have Foxtel purely for Fox Footy... *******s

 

[Smudge]

Really enjoyed the last two quarters of yesterday's match. Might have to watch a bit more next year.

 

[Jono]

Fox Footy gone

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

It will be missed, no doubt.

 

[pasag]

FFS, how hard is it to have 24 hours of old matches? They have all the tapes, just play games from the 60's and 70's and I for one would watch all day and it would cost them nothing. So annoying.
