I was 19 back then and was in my local late the night before and there was this crow fan who wouldn't shut up. Kept going on and on. I took $500 out my pocket and slammed in on the bar and told him to put up or shut up. He came back with his, I said now not one more word. The bloke behind the jump held onto it all till after the game. Day to forget.
I know how they will spin it now .. Geelong were tired after last weeks game. Adelaide had the advantage with a week off.
Bevo cheated. By telling the world Stringer was up for trade, Geelong were forced to invite him to their facilities. That distraction caused the Geelong playing group to suffer the same humiliation on PreLim night two years in a row. Ergo, Geelong lost because Bevo cheated.

Why can't Bonts be treated like Selwood or Dangerfield?

Twice now Dangerfield has been all about him , should have sheperded the bloke in front but instead went the Mark spoiling his teammate, causing turnover goals.
Danger would be one of the biggest actors currently playing the game
It shits me and he should be cited for it. A bloke in that state must have the concussion time out, if not ruled out. Either he's a cheat/stager or Geelong doctors are ignoring the concussion protocols.

Spots the tackler approaching, crouches and leads at the tackler with a lowered shoulder. The only thing you can grab is his f****en head.
It was as blatant as you could get.
This is going to sound weird, but time has allowed me to forgive Adelaide.
At the end of the day, they beat us in two games of footy. They wanted a premiership and we were in their way. And both defeats were as much our making as theirs.
It's not like they poached our best young player, or recruited our under contract captain, or marketed themselves as a 'lost dogs' home', or carried themselves with a misplaced arrogance with nothing to show for it.
I hope Richmond absolutely flog that insult to the word 'club'.

After feeling winning a premiership, my Adelaide hate has faded away. The plastics and Geelong firmly at the top.
