So we played a 2023 finalist, a team expected to play finals and a team that would go on to win a final in the first 3 weeks? 2 of them on the road? Got it.Your team is over rated with an average list thats why you finished last year in 12th position with a soft draw. But you have to make most of your opportunities with a healthy list beating mediocre teams and Geelong have managed that.
You played St Kilda, Crows andf Hawthorn first three games of the year - that part of the season could it have been any easier for a 12th placed Geelong team?
..and then lost to Melbourne, Port, Suns and Giants.
So your first seven games if I am not mistakes - over half missed out on finals..but thats what happens when a team finishes 12th.
Top 10 sides beaten: Port (away), Brisbane (away), Hawthorn (home and away), Bulldogs (neutral), Carlton (away), Collingwood (away), Fremantle (away).
Anyway that rubbishes your opinion on Geelong. This is a Hawthorn thread so now please elaborate on your terribly misplaced downgrading of them.
