Is he in concussion protocol? Does he get up for next week?
 
Cam Guthrie played?!

But I agree with Leather Poisoning that one was Zuthrie's needless stupidity. The rage - unfair or otherwise - is that it became a two part play based on Rayner turning the game on its head with incident one. Any supporter base in the league would boo the umpires during, and Rayner afterwards (although I'm not a boo boy myself...it's cringe). Let's not pretend that's a Geelong specific issue.

Although he pissed me off last night with his diving, he has taken huge steps in the middle of his career and I feel has justified his number 1 selection now. He is very damaging and seems to add things to his game every year.
 
The threshold for a free whether finals or not, should not be if a player falls over. That's why we have players flopping all over the place.

You could also ask why the Geelong player thought it necessary to push Rayner when the ball was 150m away. Play stupid games win stupid prizes.

You could ask that question of 100 contests every game. Before the ball up in most games there are spotfires all over the field with players pushing each other

You run a big risk pushing players from behind. Which is entirely different to two players grappling and fighting.
 
Yeah you probably do run that risk but as I said it happens all the time and not just players grappling front on or whatever. There’s an example a few posts up

Problem is I can provide plenty of examples of pushes from behind or blocking players who aren’t looking where frees are paid.

You can argue whether something is a free or not but what he did is a free greater than 0% of the time. The easiest solution is to not push players from behind.
 
Well, at least Rayner had proper contact before taking a dive, unlike this bloke

Even with the 2 free goals awarded to Rayner, O'Connor destroyed him anyway. So he won a pretty great prize.

-wipes away tears- mark O’Connor destroyed Rayner
 
Nah, just find the sooking over it incredibly funny, considering your own player got fined for staging earlier in the year and Rayner's goals had no impact on the game whatsoever.
Mocking doesn't equate to sooking. I never understood why your average low IQ BigFooty punter struggles with that concept.

As for in-game reaction to the umpires getting sucked in or Rayner's trolling? Find me one crowd in Australian or world sport who would differ.

I suppose only Geelong supporters are expected to be happy clappers in such a situation. A West Coast crowd in a final would have invoked civil war.
