Yes, nice post. I think as the season progresses the differences between boys and men become more and more apparent, and that's what it was today, men vs boys. And that not only has a physical component, but a mental one as well. Geelong are where we want to get to - match hardened, tough physical bodies, with match hardened, experienced minds. They are class all the way through, played a lot of football together, have built a habit of winning, and simply know how to get the job done.
Teams in our position will always have a few wins / honourable losses and then a smacking now and again. It's a very noticeable and consistent pattern.
And congrats to Sammy Walsh on breaking Greene's record - surely the Rising Star is his now ? Rozee has dropped right off the pace from what I can tell.
