[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Two on the bench might catch up with Geelong this quarter

Cripes, the Eagles are killing the Cats

And then not

 

[Grooster24]

How does Derwayne get to be commentator for both powa and Cats games? He's a fanboi for both teams.

 

[GROTTO]

It’s time to get rid of the score review. It’s added nothing to the game and we are still getting the same number of errors.

+1

FFS what the AFL needs to do is to use the same technology that they do for the cricket where the bails light up.

Dangerfield has been mesmerising? Okay Dwayne.

It could even increase them, last light was a goal and called a goal yet score review and it becomes a point

Pfft they’ve got 3 extra on the field

 

[Scorpus]

I said the umpires would help Geelong over the line here. Looks like the fix is in

If I was a WC fan I would be absolutely livid right now

Good thing they have the cattle yard fencing around the boundary.

West Coast fans cheering Ablett doing his hammy?

That was always going to be the risk for Geelong paying to get him over.

Looks like their gamble hasn't paid off and they've put themselves even further back when it comes to young talent.

 

[FR0GGY]

a bit selfish by ablett just to walk off no sense of urgency to get off quickly.

 

[Tyls83]

Stick to recruiting footballers Geelong

 

[Drummond]

Noise of affirmation? My goodness.

Dwayne is the worst.

 

[footy4ever]

I don’t mind the Essendon loss now

Good reality check

Those 2 games since we’ve shown a bit of character

Would prefer we’re ranked 3-6 all season and hit the finals in some good form.

I want top 2 for home finals. I think we’ll get it.

The main issue I have with the goal review is that the AFL refuses to spend the money on it. They won't put the cameras in the right spot in the goals or actually spend the money on HD cameras. Instead they stipulate the tv stations have had to pay for it to happen. Of course they aren't going to spend a lot of money when they already pay the AFL for the rights. We know the AFL has the money, but they refuse.

Why do people get so precious about this kind of thing? It's a ****ing hamstring, not leukemia.

 

[Sucka4Love]

Plenty of shit blokes that like kids.

True but not a lot of people that can make a sick kid’s day.

 

[deeztreez]

What got missed in the Douglas goal review was what a PATHETIC left foot Dougie has!

Goal review shouldn't have been an issue

What a dumb post

Yep, they get billions in TV money, but refuse to pay for high speed cameras on the goal line so we’re left with potato quality footage with which the score review has to try and make a decision.

 

[WhiskeyTangoFoxtrot]

Tough for Geelong with just 1 on the bench.

 

[Scorpus]

This is the exact sort of close game that Geelong frustratingly win despite only playing a small amount of good football

I know right. They make huge money off TV rights and they remain the world's biggest tight asses.
