In that last minute of the game Geelong got away with a head high tackle on Menzel, the Geelong runner made contact with Robinson (whether it was accidental or not doesn't matter, he made contact in front of the ump and the ump just waved him away and bounced the ball).
If a player makes an accidental head high tackle a free is still awarded, if a player accidentally goes over the mark a free is still awarded, so why wasn't the Geelong player accidentally making contact with Robinson ruled a free.

We should have won last week....we should have won this week....but we didn't!! We're not stepping up when it really counts and given our inconsistency for the past 5 seasons I doubt we're really close to doing so consistently!! Malthouse will be fuming but also proud of the group.

Haha, at least that gave me a laugh.
Amazing, well thought out reply.
How was that throw which resulted in Selwood's goal. No attempt to get a fist near the ball, just a blatant one handed throw.
You are right though, this has been par for the course with the Cats for much of their dynasty.
Very disappointing... Murph's face said it all on the broadcast...
For anyone hoping for a fair run with the umps next week... remember the last time we played the Hawks?
seriously, I don't normally go this path, but I've had e-*******-nuff. Last week, ok, smacked umpires. Awful, lets call it a one off.
BUT NOW
Menzal nearly gets knocked out in the square, and we have a ******* geelong runner, make *ing contact with a player again, in the square, AND NOTHING!
ENOUGH!!!!
* the fine, wear it Mick.....get in the press conference, and let the AFL and their part time shambles umpire department, ******* have it!!
ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!!!

It was a gutsy effort, but regardless of the umpiring we had the opportunity to put them away and we didn't...really disapointed in MM waiting till half time to move jamo down back on one leg. I really do wonder about his strategies sometimes, enough of the swingman crap, play players in their dam positions. Thats about as civil as I can currently be!
At least Robinson makes his presence felt. The other two...less said the better. Didn't see much of Army either, looked like he couldn't raise a gallop.
The list is short of several quality players! Still half a dozen passengers in the team. Cats a class outfit and they showed they wanted it more in the end!

Sorry for intruding.
I was barracking for your boys tonight. Showed a heap of ticker and if they'd nailed their shots in the first and last quarters it would be a totally different vibe in here.
I'm all for putting the whistle away, but you've got to pay the obvious ones and Menzel was pretty bloody obvious. I feel for ya.

Almost as well thought out as saying there was not enough effort in the 4th qtr.

That was a gutsy effort. Bad luck.

We've been battered, bruised and bent-over by the Cats for years now. I know what it feels like. They're a good side, no doubt, and often the latitude they're seemingly given, doesn't mean much in the context of a game, but in games like tonight, well, it does.
Heart and fight and footballing ability should be the absolute minimum each and every game.
Shame we have to be content with that.

Just showed the Menzel near-free kick 
They are showing the Menzel head-high now on the TV, another disgraceful decision.

Well, at least the guys left it all out on the ground tonight. Really stiff not to come away with that one.
Loved Gibbs, Doc, Thomas, Menz, Army...
Saddens me seeing Brock copping a hammering.
Suddenly he's the worst player ever to pull on a Navy jumper. Steady on, guys!

Biggest question I had about the umpiring tonight was how the hell was that centre bounce late in the 2nd Quarter not recalled??? HMac just palmed it straight down the throat of someone and they kicked the easiest goal after a questionable advantage was paid....
Why don't we flood our back line anymore?
