Geelong players showed real class
Kudos to the Geelong guys during the presentation.
Every single one of them showed respect and acknowledged the young kids presenting them with their medals. The cap thing was a nice touch which I have no doubt will be repeated by every side that wins the flag from this point on.
Stark contrast from the filth last year.
Shame about the fans.
They were ferral just like the filth from last year,but good on the cats boys for showing some class.Originally Posted by DeadlyAkkuret

It was very nice. I instantly thought in my mind "we have to do that next year when we win, but we should have a marker there so each player can sign the cap as they go up to get their medal!".
I knew him as a gentle young man, I cannot say for sure the reasons for his decline
We watched him fade before our very eyes, and years before his time
Plenty of feral fans for other sides too, including the Swans. Plenty of decent supporters for Geelong too, just like most other sides.

Spot on!Plenty of feral fans for other sides too, including the Swans. Plenty of decent supporters for Geelong too, just like most other sides.
Good luck to the cats. It was great to see the best team this year win the flag. Glad we didn't meet this incarnation of the cats in 05 otherwise our premiership drought would still be alive and kicking.
..And the Swans are the Premiers...The Ultimate Team...The Ultimate Warriors. They have overcome the highly fancied Hawks in brilliant style. Sydney the 2012 Premiers - Gerard Whately ABC

The thing that really impressed me was Mark Williams going over and shaking the hands of the Geelong players.
After he made an arse of himself throughout the week.
I only support one team: The SYDNEY SWANS!!!!!
It was very nice. Looked really good.
Obviously a pre conceived idea, but I wonder whether it was the club, the players or the AFL's idea.
In fairness to Williams, all the pre game stuff was just gamesmanship and a keen sense of humour. He has mellowed ten fold since winning the flag in '04 to the point he is almost as good at getting the media eating out of his hand as Sheedy.After he made an arse of himself throughout the week.
I thought he showed great class and sportsmanship at the end of the game. Good luck to him.
AFL's because of the bad press from last year (which basically was a few Eagles players not shaking the hand of the kid giving the player the medal and acting like fools, not that we weren't without non-hand shakers in 05). If the result was reversed then Port Adelaide hats would of been on hand to give to the kids. Still a nice move and one that will ensure that no bad press comes out of it.
Once was, now elsewhere
Maybe they did! It's such an obvious thing. If so the signing would have been done while they were standing around waiting.
