Yeah I thought Geelong copped some howlers.

Welcome to bigfooty

 

[Ichabod Noodle]

Small sample size

What? 120odd years of history is a small sample size?

 

[Mattdougie]

Yeah I thought Geelong copped some howlers.

Fish somewhere else

7-1 Free kicks for HTB Geelongs way.

They had a record amount of tackles.

 

[Stevi_Tigers]

I've only seen the last quarter but what about that Bont guy? Where is he?

should be avoiding the asada testers because he wont piss clean off the back of that

 

[Substance]

I saw a lot of Geelong players getting their hands on it first.

Well you should watch the last qtr again. Some seriously bad calls being made, including the umpire getting caught up in the moment and paying HTB against murphy when he kicked the ball. Calls like that are momentum killers.

 

[chimpassgimp]

First to the ball will do that

7-1 Free kicks for HTB Geelongs way.

 

[Mudeo]

Geelong did very well in the umpiring interpretations

Also must have done quite well in the umpires extra circular activities

7-1 Free kicks for HTB Geelongs way.

130 tackles... you'd hope a few would get rewarded

 

[Substance]

Dogs win the free kick count 21-18 and you are still complaining!

Try losing a free kick count by 10+

Free kick count is irrelevant.

I was going for the WB's for tipping purposes tonight and I wasn't too upset by the umpiring.

Obviously their fans can't deal with not getting an armchair ride.

 

[Visions]

Rare shit game.

I reckon he was average last week against WC.

In fact his year so far hasn't been that great, serviceable yes but nothing extraordinary. I don't know if it's because he has set a high standard previously but he hasn't seemed to have taken games by the scruff of the neck.

 

[95bluemember]

Isn't that his job?

You obviously missed the fap fest

 

[Looney]

Bont is overrated.

Are you serious?
After one bad game where he was tagged out of the game?

 

[demondavey]

People forget that after 23 rounds in 2016 they were deemed the 7th best team. Their performances in 2017 show they are still about that mark.

Last year Sydney, Geelong, Hawthorn, GWS, Adelaide and WC were above them. This year id say Geelong, GWS, Adelaide are above them, and they're about equal with the Eagles. Unsure where Port stands yet.

Bulldogs around the mark, long way to go, still think their best footy is worthy of a GF, but they're getting opened up because sides are running with them.

 

[Stevi_Tigers]

Does 7 think Mark Stevens brings anything to the coverage.

Tried to get Murphy to bag the umps so soon after the game he can still barely breathe.

Well done to Murphy for not biting. All class.

need malthouse to put him back in his box

 

[Americanpies]

Why did Cloke even come in? They already brought in Redpath last week and Dixon this week. Wouldn't it have been better to keep Libba in or even McClean? In hindsight... the Dogs seemed to go in with too many tall forwards and taking Libba out removed the grunt from the midfield.

 

[Kingsfoil]

Lol at all the Dogs supporters calling S Selwood a 'hack' before the game. 17 tackles first game back from injury. That's some kind of hack.

Maybe the umprie thought he ran too far before being tackled?

There were some poor decisions (as there always is) but Geelong winning more of the ball was the difference.

If your players lost their heads because of it well it says more about how they face adversity than it does anything else.

Oh . . .sorry . . . I meant to say they were #sobrave.

 

[Clout Bombers]

Lol bulldogs don't get heavily favoured by umpires and they lose. What a shock. Love the tears of dogs fans. Win a grand final based on pure umpires and Italian soccer players yet still sook.

He has been a terrible SC VC for me two weeks running.

Therefore, overrated.

Rubbish

You really have no idea about football

 

[bigfarter]

Haha, of course this thread is all umpire whinging. I watched the game with a bunch of Bulldogs supporters and not thought the umps took the game from them. Bigfooty, never change. Literally every game is decided by the umpires according to this forum.

By the same token dogs laid 100 tackles for 1 htb then?

 

[passmark]

need malthouse to put him back in his box

Yeah well.

He'd probably have to be a coach of an AFL team and I wouldn't wish that on anyone.......maybe the Bombers .
