AFL 2017 - R9 - Geelong v Western Bulldogs 19:50 AEST, Simonds Stadium

[Cripps 'n' Blue Bloods]

I agree. Although the umpires might have had influence on momentum, the Dogs lost Clearances, inside 50's and took 11 marks inside 50 for 12 goals. That's pretty crap, and I think a big part of it was taking Liberatore out of the team and putting Cloke in there.

Apart from the tackle count, the stats were even enough to be considered a draw in pretty much every other category.

 

[go you pups]

He pretty much said that before the game. Then failed to counter it.

Putting Picken in the guts on one of the two would've sent a message, alas nope.

 

[TW Sherrin]

Dogs weren't a dominant side last year.

Nothing has changed.

 

[Cripps 'n' Blue Bloods]

chris scott with a nice jab in the presser the dogs are dangerous they are good at throwing the ball around and throwing it back over there heads

Interesting because I thought the Cats got away with a number of throws in the first half in particular, but don't really recall seeing any from the Dogs.

 

[Heaps of fun]

This comment could apply to literally any part of his commentary career.

Interrupting the radio station's interview and trying to steal their interview was beyond the pale though.

typical chris scott.

i bet on geelong so i was happy to see them win, but they certainly got the rub of the green with the throwing and illegal disposal calls.

Another borign thread full of crybabies about the umpires.

 

[Freomaniac]

Can't stand either team

hopefully its a soulless draw tonight

You must really sadistic to think that lol.

Would you rather spend a night inj jail in the same cell with Ben Cousins, Rolf Harris and Tough man Tony abbott? lol

this accounts for virtually every single gameday thread unfortunately.

 

[Seeds]

Is Geelong the only club that seems to have to defend the free kick count when they lose the free kick count.

 

[Seeds]

They certainly had a hand in several goals in the last quarter. Last time I checked goals affect results

Several goals???? We're there even seven kicked?

Was surprised by that one. Selwood v Picken is a good match up.

No. Just the Geelong ones. I've lost count of how many games geelong have won because of bullshit dodgy free kicks that result in goals. I know about two years back both times against Carlton where the games were very close and you guys received The good end of dodgy calls. In one instance one was not paid to us in the goalsquare with about a minute to go. The other was a bounce that should have been recalled which resulted in a goal to geelong. Both games the afl came out afterwards and said both the calls were wrong. Surprise surprise. You guys with duckwood are always on the good end of calls. He dropped the ball last night twice and both times it was play on. That game was clearly won by the umpires. But it's only geelong supporters who can't see it. If the game was umpired like that toward the doggies, you'd all be in here having a cry. Most people can recognize how biased the media and umpires are toward geelong. It's sickening.

Yeah wow, you'd think someone would have done something about this by now?
if it was the least bit true

When Dogs win do they ever thump sides? I still rate them but not so sure about their top4 credentials.

 

[Gavin Excell]

No i think its just now that Jamie07 has revealed this conspiracy. I have forwarded his post to AFL HQ and am confident action will be taken

 

[Whiskers]

Prelims are pretty handy too

As a hawk fan, you should know all about having good calls go your way on that day.

yeah you've got us, it's a conspiracy - remind me again why the AFL and umpires association want to collude to give Geelong advantages?

go read any other game day thread and it's just an umpiring whingefest. well done on bringing the sook though!

 

[romeohwho]

I think it's more of a sledge to Chris Scott' coaching ability.....basically he ain't much chop and basically relies on Dangerwood playing a blinder ......after watching that game tonight I agree with him based on that performance.

Still, if it only takes 1 player to knock off the reigning premiers, well you should all be grateful that we give you teams with 22 players some hope of beating the dogs.Best of luck- you'll need it!

 

[Whiskers]

Don't complain about the umpiring freo had to go down there a few yrs back and beat the umpires and geelong

Dw the umps handed you a final in 2013 in Geelong. Terrible umpiring in that 2nd half in favour of Freo!

 

[Whiskers]

Hard for dogs traveling 2 weeks in a row...

Poor Dogs and the dreaded highway. Maybe they should have 8 away games to start the year like Geelong did.

 

[MissionMan]

Great to the Geelong supporters playing it up as if it was fair. Shows the class or lack there of. I was sitting with a geelong mate last night who commented on how biased it was.

The simply reality is that umpires are influenced by the crowd in Geelong. It's a problem the AFL need to address. Too many game changing calls that change momentum at a location where it's hard to get momentum.

As for those knocking the dogs off the pedestal. They started slow last year, they'll be in the top 8, but Geelong won't won't the flag, that I can gaurantee. They're too reliant on Dangerfield. If he has a bad game, they suck. You can't rely on just one player.

And if I have to endure another game of Ling's commentating, I might just throw something at the tv. Seriously, he needs to go to the change room and give dangerfield and selwood a blowy to get it over with.

Cats fans silent during game..... then pile in 6 deep with their 'wisdom' hindsight after the match.

Some fans prefer to watch the game rather then post on bigfooty during it.

 

[Cold Sober]

Move to WA
