Lions club statement says Fagan taking a leave of absence to cooperate with the AFL Integrity Unit. Says he wasn't consulted as part of the review.

Anyway.. got the tele on AFL 360 and I do like the hype and the celebration ... but you get a chance every year.
Think I'm being a bit churlish but ...
It's not the Olympics, or FIFA WC, or RWC where you get one shot every four years.
Great achievement, and it's cool every year.
But the Aussie Roolz states do hype it up I reckon
-
Geelong with a dominant first half. Inside 50s, ruck taps, contested possessions and getting run off halfback is where they are killing them.
-
@ACT-Crusader not feeling so bad about what happened to the lions last weekend
Geelong are playing fucking great
-
Sydney getting reamed.

Swans players look dejected

Incredible performance by Geelong. 16 in a row is very hard to argue with
Huge credit to their coaching staff who revamped how the played. It blows my mind how long tenured AFL coaches can suddenly change their philosophy.
I actually thought Joel selwood should have won the norm Smith. A warrior I admire in the Hodge mold
-
turns out my dislike of Geelong is basically just the fact i can't stand Dangerfield and Cameron
Joel Selwood appears to be an absolutely first class human being.
-
Geelong been knocking on the door for quite some time but couldn’t quite go the extra step when it came to finals .
I thought that was the destiny of this group tbh , but perseverance pays off in the end . This years side had a more ruthless look to it .
-
@mariner4life had the chance to meet Hawkins and Selwood and both are good fellas.
I hated how Selwood played and the constant ducking and feigning for free kicks. He used to be a massive whinger too. Plus the whole Geelong v Saints rivalry from 10 years ago and the Chris Scott v Ross Lyon thing.

well fuck...dragged Mrs Womble to a sports bar on magnetic island to watch on sat...they closed their kitchen at 2pm even though it was packed...so couldn't even get a feed and had to watch that shit

yeah. ouch. As a neutral it was boring. As a swannies supporter it must have sucked
See the average winning margin of the past four grand finals is almost 12 goals.

@mariner4life was texting my "AFL mate", at half time to check what the record loss was for a grand final...well short luckily but i think Geelong started celebrating early and took their foot off our throat a little
crowd looked amazing, im sure lots came down from sydney but also know a lot from south melbourne/ port melbourne etc woke up, probably not 50/50 crowd but didn't look far off it
was just sad how invisible...pretty much our whole team...was, completely outplayed in every aspect
Was saying we looked spent in the final quarter last week against the pies...and looked just as spent from the first bounce
The only team i support that has a better than average chance of winning something is the AB's and not only has that become less certain over the last couple of years...my enjoyment when we do win is diminishing....sport really can get ya down sometimes
-
im sure Geelong supporters enjoyed it ,
I was at the Richmond GWS GF 2019 where we won by 90 odd points ,
it was pretty much all over early second quarter and I had people telling me later it was a boring game , and I totally get that for the neutrals ,
But as a supporter at the ground all the tension gets removed , the celebrations start early, its party time
