The King! is right Thilthorpe > Darcy

Always right

Tom Stewart should have had a free against for incorrect disposal yet again. All he ever does when tackled is drop the ball. The umpiring is so effing biased.

Its like 20-3 inside 50's this last quarter fixture has ****ed several teams over to start the year.

Always right

Not another right winger

They have had a fair dinkum crack and the umps are biased

Cannot stand Geelong as I have made no secret of, but this was the most impressive win of the season from any team so far, for mine. I'm not really buying the whole speed thing the media are raving about because to me, in a big final or grand final where the sides will be stacked with talent no matter who it is, it is going to be about defence. And Geelong's was outstanding tonight, especially in that last quarter. Geelong just dominated territory, it was in their forward 50 for so much of that last quarter and they just got to work with elite forward pressure and rock-solid defensive structure behind the ball so Adelaide couldn't get a clean exit.

Hawks did the same to us in the last quarter last week.

IMO that's the real stuff you can get a read of this season on, not these free-flowing, high-scoring quarters full of highlights that IMO won't hold up when it matters.

 

[RilesMacca]

Good crack from an undermanned crows but Cats stood up real well with their pressure

Geez Reidwoldt loves saying deefense instead of defence, as bedders would say the yank terms are creeping in

 

[The King!]

Geelong get it done at home

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Always a good weekend when the Crows lose

Cats the least worse of the two alternatives

 

[Troystenvic]

Big Advantage down there for Geelong. Wish the SCG was a cauldron again

 

[The King!]

Crows were missing Dawson , Laird Walker Ah Chee

Crows were missing Dawson , Laird Walker Ah Chee

They were at a Trump rally maybe

 

[Voula]

And dubious calls it clearly came off Atkins no review

I didn't realise that they review the last disposal decisions. It was strange they didn't review that one, after they reviewed one earlier in the game. My Geelong supporting brother was yelling at the tv for Atkins to hurry up and kick it before they reversed the decision .

Well the Crows get gifted Gather round every year. I’d love a free extra game in home conditions

I can't ask lol

Gifted ? so if we had it

 

[Maddo11]

The umpiring?

best it's ever been

 

[LukeParkerno1]

SA sides get an extra game at home, they should be the last sides to complain always good when the Crows lose least Port

Can we get another home game? Though we have hardly been great at home lately

 

[Elfreeve]

One whole extra match at home. Wow

Its the 4th round of games, Geelong have played in 3 of those, but will only leave VIC 6 times further throughout the year.
They will play at the Gabba on the 4th of july and then dont have to leave the state again in the home and away.

VIC teams have all kinds of inherent benefits, and then use clout to take more
One round in SA doesn't address the inequity

 

[The King!]

Tex should have played

You a sports scientist as well?
