Swings both ways, that Hawkins in the back free wasn’t there and the deliberate rule seemed to be paid equally poorly against both sidesThan god that's over. That was the most one sided umpiring against Geelong I have seen.

Sydney would have dropped two places in the draft order if they'd won that.
He has been goodHawkins has had a real mare! McCartin all over him.
Don't worry about Dez! He's spewing Geelong won. We keep him up at night.What about touheys mark. The dangerous tackle against Geelong not paid near the goal square the deliberate out of bounds. The front on contact to Taylor then called throw. And many other I have forgotten about
The VFL made sure the Tigers didn't have to play Eagles in Perth this year.I'd rather play the Cats if I were Port. Yes, Geelong might hit top gear in finals and if they do, look out, but their form the past two rounds haven't been great, and historically they're awful after the bye. The Tigers, on the other hand, could beat anyone, anywhere, barring West Coast in Perth imo.
does it? I thought an unrealistic attempt was deemed so because he couldn’t actually take the mark?
Missed the Mollison effort against Nth at KP?Than god that's over. That was the most one sided umpiring against Geelong I have seen.

Geez mate, you only get the 1st week of the finals in Perth. That's it. You could have finished on top and that wouldn't have changed.The VFL made sure the Tigers didn't have to play Eagles in Perth this year.
Hard call, there's so many.Repressed memories, more like. Mollison is the worst umpire I have ever seen.
Papley and Hayward absolutely butchered that game for Sydney in the first half, should’ve been up by 5 goals at half time
The question is did he touch the ball before landing back on the ground? Many players complete their mark on the groundSigh... it is legal if it is part of a legitimate attempt at a mark.
You can't do it to clear space, LAND back on the ground & then mark it.
So don't write obituaries for a proper high mark just yet.
Explain your reasoningWell that just proves geelong won’t make it far in finals , definitely the weakest of the top 5
Not exactly a fair representation of what actually happened but don’t let the facts get in the wayIf that's the case then what is to stop someone doing it, landing, running a few more steps then marking it.
Let's make it a free for all - go as early as you want as long as you take the mark.
People are hyperventilating saying it is the end of the high mark.
Lol...
If only Papley didn’t kick like a donkey
not quite, the Pies game was worse and they got a little better as this game went on. The first half was absoloute garbage thoughThan god that's over. That was the most one sided umpiring against Geelong I have seen.
That may be true, but I don't anyone that can explain the "Kennetts curse".We've been so good so long, that's why. Statistics and probability.
Imagine, for the sake of argument, that because of our skill we are on average a 3 goal better side than other teams.
Now, every game is going to have some scatter around that mean 3 goal margin. One goal either way is going to be more common than two goals either way; that is, we're more likely to win by two or four goals than by one or five goals. More likely to win by a goal than to break even.
That's why we have a better chance of winning by a couple of points than losing by a couple of points. The same seems to be true of every team that's been successful for a prolonged period.
Geelong ALWAYS win the close games!
It can't be luck, surely.
The difference was higher in the pies game. But that was worsenot quite, the Pies game was worse and they got a little better as this game went on. The first half was absoloute garbage though
Oh, and the AFL world just loves those nice boys in the West. Ha! Thought you’d be feeling good then after that game; on that performance, we’d be long shots. But you gotta make it and then see what happens. I reckon Geelong deserve it as much as anyone. Best win-loss for the entire decade; I’m thinking two flags would be a fair return in that time, don’t you?Please someone, anyone, don't let the Cats win it all. Can't stand em.
