Won from 5th spot!! What a beauty that was. Geelong copped it twice that day. Conlan and the mouth guard just topped it off. Bloody great win.

Sensational post, Conlan's last game, what a champion.

It's a long life Oakley, you are gonna get bitten one of these days.

Go Roys...

@marxian00 No, Geelong lost their preliminary final replay by a point if I remember correctly.

@christomoon

Actually Geelong copped it three times, their under 19s side also lost their grand final.

Check out the Fitzroy trainer give it to someone who probably was giving it to the Roys during the match at 3:45!
