@Stallion chubb back to rock solid.
all sparked by the genius of ego.
Edwards was good with his pressure in the last down back.
But if you’re talking about pressure: Nick Kommer. So good today.
Francis is going to take the AFL by storm.
Gotta love having a nutcase ruckman running around.
Haa, haa, haa. It’s the AGE reporting, so what would you expect? Wrong, just so wrong.

Geelong hoping to get reserves ready for AFL finals
Brent Diamond
Geelong will attack Saturday’s elimination final against Essendon with a double-edged sword, as they look to get some game time into Nakia Cockatoo and Jed Bews in the lead-up to next Friday night’s qualifying final against Hawthorn at the MCG.
Cockatoo, having only recently made a return through the VFL from surgery to his right knee, will be one to watch, as the livewire attempts to hit form on the eve of the AFL finals.

AFL Victoria has allowed players who played in round 23 in the AFL to play in the VFL finals, as long as they had played more than six VFL matches this season.
Bews is one of those. The crafty defender is considered a strong chance to return to the AFL line-up against the Hawks, given that he has performed admirably in the past on Cyril Rioli.
The Cats’ depth will be on show with George Horlin-Smith, Nathan Vardy, Shane Kersten, Darcy Lang, Cam Delaney and Billie Smedts also pushing for a senior recall. Horlin-Smith and Smedts came off 30-plus-disposal performances last week.
Cats VFL coach Shane O’Bree said this week that he believed the Cats could win the flag from outside of the top four. They are in form after an impressive win over Port Melbourne last weekend.

The Cats have won VFL flags in 2007 and 2012. They were trendsetters in producing AFL stand-alone teams in the VFL; a trend that now includes their rivals Essendon, premiership fancy Collingwood, Footscray and Richmond.

Actually made me giggle. Love the Russian.
So how did Francis go? Involved much or a quiet game with a few special cameos?

Quiet with some cameos. Great ■■■■■■■ cameos though.
Suck a big one Geelong, no more finals for you.

Can’t get game time into fringe senior players either. Just like the Hawks. I’m liking this.
Well.
That was farkin awesome.
Had a lot of laughs with Hoffy, Robin Close and co

Hawks played Sphanger (?) for 90 seconds last weekend so he would qualify for vfl as well as afl. Did the hawks make the vfl finals?
I thought we were ■■■■■■ cooked in that 2nd half after smashing them in the 1st.
What a win.
