Smack and Long continue into their fifth quarter.
Long does an unnecessary one-finger push after a mark and concedes fifty and a point.
Hartley is a honey badger when it comes to kicking into the wind.
Heās slowly progressed from punches to marks this game.
At afl level he canāt, the way heās used
No doubting the talent
We work it slowly up into the wind and Ottavi is illegally screened out at the top of the goal square. Goal.
87-39
HepA and Hartley save goal after Geelong have a three bounce run up the wing.
More good tackling to clear the backline.
Hartley has this game by the balls now. Thirty metre punch into the outer.
Bags having a good last quarter too.
Not much happening. Geelong can bomb 70m kicks in but we are winning the contests (without flooding) and rebounding.
Guelfi to Strachan and then Jackson running into goal.
93-39
LOL Geelong run to 45 and donāt get it past the contest 8 out. WTF thatās an awful kick.
Redman has had a good quarter but puts a Cat down, resulting in a down-the-field free. 20 drunk yobbos come out of the social club to cheer on Hillmanās set shotā¦ and he misses.
Then they abuse him
Another miss.
93-42
Clarke weaves through congestion and get the good handball out.
Geelong get ācleverā, we make the tackle and Ottavi just misses the goal from the boundary fifty out on the run.
Now 94-43
Looking forward to the wrap up. Thisāll be interesting.
Hey Dea: youāre not Hartley. Attempted big kick stops at 48 (i.e. travels 38 to their mark).
Somehow they fall short with the set shot.
94-45
You have been doubting the talent.
You wrote a whole post about it yesterday
