Autopsy AFL 2022 Round 21 - Cats v Saints Sat Aug 6th 7:25pm EST (GMHBA)

[PhatBoy]

5-3 free kick count, 2 Of their 3 goals from free kicks, and the officiating is against them.

I’d be grateful we didn’t kick straighter before worrying about perceived bias

 

[JasRulz63]

Do we need to? I’d say any inherent bias towards him/them would be reflected in some sort of free kick metric. But it isn’t

Oh right. So according to your words/logic, inherent umpire bias towards Selwood is demonstrated by the free kick metric?

That one to Hawkins. If the roles are reversed would be a free to Hawkins.

2 separate 15m rules. 2 separate 50m rules.

Farce.

Selwood? You were talking about Hawkins. Selwood isn't even playing tonight LOL

 

[Atomboy]

Going to script so far.

If Saints can get within 60 points it’s a moral victory.

Maybe 59 given Dangerfield and Blicavs are late withdrawals.

 

[Sttew]

Apparently being "managed"...amazed you can have that as a legit reason for a late out. As if it wasn't planned for him to not play from the start....at least list him as sore to make it believable haha

I thought Hawkins might be the late out. Next week

 

[Hoops]

That one to Hawkins. If the roles are reversed would be a free to Hawkins.

2 separate 15m rules. 2 separate 50m rules.

Farce.

Whats your view of the first free of the game against Hawkins?

 

[Falchoon]

I can't stangmd watching Geelong at Geelong when we're not playing. It's horrendous.

 

[Farang83150]

Going to be a massacre

 

[PhatBoy]

I’ve said many times I think he gets too many free kicks. I don’t think it’s through bias I think it is through bad officiating.

What i wouldn’t do is look at the numbers and then try and make a claim that directly contradicts thise numbers like ‘Selwood should get more frees.’

 

[Falchoon]

Whats your view of the first free of the game against Hawkins?

The one that should have been a 50 for not getting the ball back on the full?

 

[PhatBoy]

That one to Hawkins. If the roles are reversed would be a free to Hawkins.

2 separate 15m rules. 2 separate 50m rules.

Farce.

Based on what, the fact that he’s awarded less free kicks than just about any key forward over the last decade?

 

[MickG88]

I still have no idea why Geelong get to host games on the ground they train on, no other team does.

 

[PhatBoy]

Don’t worry most people can’t stand watching St Kilda wherever they play

 

[Wojcinski]

The one that should have been a 50 for not getting the ball back on the full?

It was on the full. The players can't help if your players can't catch a simple pass

 

[The Casey Cat]

He already started moving thats play on you ******* cheats!

You have two goals from soft free kicks. STFU you goose.

 

[Chuckie357]

Media love crapping on with their “St Kilda haven’t beaten geelong in geelong in 23 years” crap, how many times have we played there in that time? Twice?

 

[PhatBoy]

I still have no idea why Geelong get to host games on the ground they train on, no other team does.

Lol. Yes that’s what’s beating you. It comes as a surprise to players that there’s a white line at the side of the field. That’s why you keep turning the ball over in the centre of the ground.

 

[Rustin Cohle]

How bad are St. Kilda's small forwards? It's rebounding out every time twice as fast and there's no defensive pressure at all.

 

[Falchoon]

Based on what, the fact that he’s awarded less free kicks than just about any key forward over the last decade?

Based on the fact it was a clear eyes off the ball block.

 

[PhatBoy]

Media love crapping on with their “St Kilda haven’t beaten geelong in geelong in 23 years” crap, how many times have we played there in that time? Twice?

10.

Close though

 

[PhatBoy]

Based on the fact it was a clear eyes off the ball block.

And how many times do you reckon defenders have done that to him and not been penalised.
Probably the second best key forward of his generation, and easily the biggest and strongest, and gets f*** all free kicks compared to his contemporaries.

 

[Wojcinski]

now 8-3 Saints way in free kicks, I'm surprised the Saints zealots crying about umpiring earlier aren't commenting on it?

 

[Bunnings]

Lol saints complaining about umps in this game

 

[Corn Cobbers]

This is the 11th
