    Opinion Rd 13 Bye week - Luved , Liked, hated so far in 2022.

    I think we're killing it the moment. I think CS has finally got it right and doing an amazing coaching job this year. I don't have to say anything more except Dekoning and Cameron. But also Atkins and even Zuthrie. Best I've felt how we're going for a fair while.

    I know it sounds crazy but if I was their coach I would play May up forward for a few weeks when he comes back. Their defence will still hold up without him and he's a great mark and competes in every contest.

    2 bullshit frees win Sydney the game. Seriously this show on Fox after the footy is the crappest thing I've ever seen. It has a studio audience. How? Who would go to that? Where do they come from?

    Game Day Rd 12 Geelong v Dish lickers Fri 3rd June 2022 750pm @ Marvel

    Tom Stewart vs Caleb Daniel. Who takes the title for best loose defender? Norton vs Dekoning. Great match up. Think our 2 big forwards will destroy their mediocre defence. Think their midfield will beat ours. Think our defence will be far too organised for their forwards. Us by 36 points.

    I'm so confident we'll beat West Coast, Chris Scott could come out and say we've never had a problem with the bye, we could pick up Jimmy Bartel in the mid season draft just so he could go over to watch the NBA and come back again and I'd still put money on us.

    It was good. Gotta give it to the umps. They didn't wreck the game at all.

    It would. But it could be done. We have some very good players.

    What a great win. Wasn't lucky in anyway either. They were just on fire in that 3rd qr. Great stuff.

    We can beat Melbourne too. We have tall players who can mark. It's our thing.

    Absolutely. I said it a bunch of posts up. It's hard to just relax and actually enjoy the game because you're always on edge the umpires will pay a stupid free or stupid 50m penalty. Also said a while back, put a complete dickhead in charge of football because he can't get a job anywhere else...

    Fair enough. When dodgy shit like this happens to us (and it will at some stage) we're just going to have to cop it though.

    Oppo Camp Non Geelong football (AFL) discussion 2021/2022

    They are no doubt. But there is no whinging about anything now. If people, players, clubs etc cop this it's sort of the last straw. Even the clearest of rules can be "interpreted" let alone all the grey ones. Might as well now just get Sportsbet to umpire the games on how much $ they will will...

    Not losing touch. It's always been like that. In the 1988 prelim a young Irish guy called Jim Stynes who didn't know the rules gave away a 50m penalty after the siren that lost his team a prelim, a grand final and a likely premiership. That was over 30 years ago. Unfortunately it was the rules...

    I don't get it. So you don't want a 50 paid that's 100% in the rules because of emotions, robots etc. But think that's dissent because there was arms up? Also you just said you wanted consistency but don't want something that is consistently paid a 50m 100% every single time paid?

    I agree. The high tackles drive me nuts. Holding the ball too. So many are paid that shouldn't be. It's like why get the ball. 1 micro second isn't prior opportunity. And the stupid 50's paid for "protected area" when 99% of them don't effect the game. The dissent is just the cherry on top. It's...

    Yep you're better off not going for the footy in many instances. Not the way it should be.

    Oppo Camp Non Geelong football (AFL) discussion 2021/2022

    It really is. Rules are rules and players should not whinge. Except when the rules aren't rules, but they are still rules throughout the whole game except for one second of it. Then more rules are bought in and should be paid according to the vibe at the time and the person paying it. It's just...

    Is it dissent though when you are appealing for a free kick? Such as you see players with arms out constantly appealing for deliberate OOB and holding the ball. With this amazing new rule that has changed the game for the better I'm not sure you get called for dissent when appealing for something.

    It's not just for time wasting. The main purpose of it is for not allowing the defending team to run back. Once again not that this matters. According to rules its 50 metres.

    What if Prestia wanted to quickly try to kick it over the defenders and hopefully bounce it through. Couldn't do it because the ball was kicked away. Not that this matters. The rule is it's a 50.

    Oppo Camp Non Geelong football (AFL) discussion 2021/2022

    I don't disagree. There were 60 free kicks paid tonight. Most of them not needed. But the free kick was paid to him and the 50m that should of been paid was not. It cost us the Melbourne game last year because it was the rules and had to be paid. Not this time though. Even had time to make the...

    No its not paid for time wasting. Its paid for allowing the other team to get back in defence which this would of done. The free was paid to Prestia 100%. Not sure what for.

    Autopsy AFL 2022 Round 11 - Swans v Tigers Fri May 27th 7:50pm EST (SCG)

    This may be the worst umpiring decision ever made. Purely because it wasn't a split second decision or even a quick one. Had a long time to carefully assess the rule and decide if it was 50. Decided after deliberation to purposely go against the rule he is paid to enforce.

    In this same exact game Bolton got a 50m against that led to a goal because he scooped the ball back to boundary umpire because he thought the whistle was for out of bounds. No worries about the confusion of whistles then. It's bizarre.

    But they did hear it. They all heard it. But that doesn't even matter anyway. It's not a computer thing. Anyone who's ever played footy at any level knows that's 50. I think it was Close?? last year that got done that led to the Gawn goal at the end. He didn't get to say he was just emotional...

    Out of all the atrocious free kicks that were paid tonight (and there were many) The one single clear cut decision, the most blatant example of a 50m penalty, the one the umpire knew about and had time to think of and pay... didn't pay it This year has really been an assault on the game by the...

    Is this per capita the least amount of atmosphere at an Australian Rules match ever? No wonder the players are flat.
