Disgusting. We're witnessing one of the all-time fixes right here people.

Hopefully maggots try to rectify things but I highly doubt it

Can just tell the umpires will carry them to a decent 3QT lead then give a barrage of frees to Brisbane in the last. Geelong getting the rub again

 

[Philhawk]

If Neale can get through it, he wins it for them in the second half.

 

[Philhawk]

Cracking game.

 

[Leather Poisoning]

Will Ashcroft is amazing - his clearance work is so tough and clean

 

[grumbleguts]

This is as biased as it gets. You just have to let geelong run with the ball, because if you impede them in any way it's a free kick.

 

[hfc70]

Cracking game.

That’s what Cameron’s shoulder reckons

 

[H00t]

Wish this Danger and cats team showed up last week. He’s had 5 disposals to half time.

Umps and lions leaving a heap of goals out there from slips and errors is the only reason the scores are level

 

[lethalselbow09]

What’s the fine for playing a concussed player and ignoring a HIA?

 

[The hands of stone]

Surely Neale on 10 mins in the 3rd

Might prove a genuis move or a shocker

 

[Tall poppy Syndrome]

Bruce Reville for the Norm Smith.

 

[Dr.J]

I’m not sure there ever been a Grand Final where the frees were 17 - 4 at half time
It’s criminal and yet crickets from the ch 7 commentators

 

[Phil McCreviss]

Cameron's arm more busted than my ex wife

 

[Billyc]

Lions should be 3 goals up. That often hurts against Cats.

Worst grand final umpiring since Dogs Swans. 17-4. Wow.

Lions have game on their terms though.

 

[Brishawk]

Not sure if anyone has noticed but the umpiring is highly in favour of Geelong

 

[OhhhhhCyril]

You would be filthy if you were a brissy supporter. Free kicks to geelol have been atrocious

He was always going to struggle to back that up at his age .
Still just needs 10 mins of impact to influence this game

 

[Brishawk]

Cameron's arm

One to watch. He looks sore.

 

[killerspud]

Will Ashcroft is amazing - his clearance work is so tough and clean

Both Ashcrofts are going to be superstars for a long long time with those awful awful haircuts

 

[cs61]

What I hate most about the umpiring, is that Geelong are the worst at holding. Last week Battle, Impey, Gunston etc were impeded off the ball time and time again for the exact thing are getting frees for but it was let go. Then we were the ones who lost two goals from umpiring calling infringement. Then today they are getting the rub over and over again, yet are holding the Brisbane forwards constantly, and have a game plan around impeding off the ball.

 

[hawkmang]

I thought we had it bad last week… this is a joke league

 

[Paul Kersey]

17 - 4. WTF.

Just needs some Boost Juice

 

[Upgrayedd]

Sitting with a former player and someone who works for one of the WA teams watching the game. He had a theory that the umpiring might just be dickriding geelong and letting it go the other way

Bit disgraceful. Competitive game however.

 

[Rioli magic]

How has Cameron not even had a HIA?

There is no way you watch that vision and say zero risk of concussion no need to check if his brain is ok.

It’s a Dangerfield shoulder at pace to the head that snapped it back.

There’s a duty of care that needs to override the occasion. Staggering.
