AFL 2019 Round 9: Geelong v Western Bulldogs, 4:35pm AEST GMHBA

[gingernuts]

Well Obviously Geelong have something on the AFL if the umpies are doing favours. McLachlan got caught frooting a watermelon sold by Frank Costa! McLachlan out

 

[Pavlovs Cat]

Regardless it shouldn't have been a free

Hawkins gets looked after by the umpires you wouldn't see Daniher get frees like that

campaigner's never on the field for a start.

 

[Pavlovs Cat]

This is such a ridiculous statement. Pies whinging about not getting any home advantage. Are you guys worried about the cats this year?

Good to see. Everyone else uses the word 'but' when begrudgingly talking us up.

Highlighted perfectly by his negative free kick differential.

* me dead some posters here could do with a google lesson.

 

[BallaratBulldog]

I think we did as much as we could. Wasn't as bad as 44 points. 3 quarters staying with the cats in Geelong.

 

[Ron The Bear]

Yeah because getting it on the bench is way more rewarding than by being a gun player, which, you know, he is

Was referring to this.

Even your coach suggested it is minor and "all part of the Danger show".

 

[Whiskers]

Considering over the last 5 full years we have never been higher than higher than 8th in free kick differential it must say a lot about how f***ed we get playing anywhere else then doesn’t it

Whilst the dogs never lose a free kick count and are easily the most looked after team in the comp umpiring wise.

They throw the ball more than anyone, how do they get so many? Is it the ducking?

I acknowledge we got some stupid frees tonight that we’re just wrong maybe 4 or so but the whinging from dog fans is ridiculous.
If they care about umpiring so much they need to hand back the 2016 flag.

 

[Whiskers]

Worst umpiring I've ever seen

It’s been bad, worst since 2016 finals series.
Hand back your flag if it means so much and I’ll give you the moral victory tonight.

 

[MC Extra Dollop]

Great win by the Cats, considering the Dogs headed into the game having just rolled two opponents with top four aspirations. There's a minor concern that the last two weeks Geelong has had a six goal lead in the third quarter and let the opposition claw it back to within two in quick time, but we've managed to steady well in the last quarter.

With an away game against the Suns and Sydney at home to end the first half of the season, the Cats have an excellent chance to be 10-1, heading into round 12 against Richmond.

Please. Danger, Selwood and one or 2 others love that receive contact then blatantly throw move as much as anyone, especially on their home turf at Geelong. Using free kick counts in your argument is for nuffies too.

Just stating a fact on the umpiring but I don’t think anyone here is saying it cost us the game? So what, you got really looked after last night and yep, sure, so did we in 2016.

Was it the main reason we won a flag? No. Was it the main reason Geelong won last night? No.

Look you’re a really good side but it’s okay to admit you get the favors on that home ground. All a part of the “advantage”.

Another game day thread that's full of umpire bashing.

Please learn to take a loss with grace.

If the umpires are dreadful (which they were) then a bashing is warranted. No one is saying it won Geelong the game, but it certainly bloody helped! As it often seems to in Geelong.

No that's just wrong. And it's the last time I respond to it.

Danger does like a show but he should have been rested for the past couple of games- is playing with an injury that is hindering him and far better he gets time off to fix it properly.

Good luck finding anyone who agrees with you.

Or cares.
