Gold Coast finding out how difficult is is when the hub you're in doesn't contain the three bottom sides. I do wonder however, who the director of the telecast is going to focus his cameras on now that Rowell has sadly injured his shoulder. His paint by numbers direction is not going to cut the mustard with him not on the field.

obviously Dangerfield

GC have some edge about them . They'll probably get overun but that quarter was impressive.

Lot of teams capitulate down there when they've been jumped .
Hopefully they can give the Cats a fright deep into the game

Christ this game has been broken open by a blatant HTB not paid against Tuohy 15 m out from his own goal and incredibly soft 50 that must happen at least 10 times a qtr

Yep, saw a FB post that Rowell was injured, flicked on TV to get an update.

First contest I saw - incredibly obvious HTB not paid.

Umpiring has been woeful since, handing game to Geelong on a platter.

Has it been that bad all along? Umps had been promising on Thu/Fri night....

Selwood world record for frees from milking high contact. The then grabs an opponent around the neck through petulance, and its just a free

Cats are 3-2 after let's face it a pretty cruisey draw from a neutral perspective. Played 1 team who finished in the 8 last year and lost that game. Haven't looked that great away from GMHBA either. Still very reliant on the same crew to get the job done each week.

I hate the idea of having to structure the game netball style. I’m coming to the conclusion that we have to force a stretching of the the ground. Something like each team must have two players in each 50m arc at all times. Doesn’t matter which two - you can have four and have two of those leading out of the arc for example. At least this forces some longer ball movement.
 
You won’t believe this but Selwood just did a one handed toss - AND THE UMPIRE CALLED A THROW.
Selwood couldn’t believe it and gave the umpire the dirtiest look.
God knows what Scott of that.
Yes. Saw that. Then a little later both Danger and Porkins looked aghast at an umpire's call going against them. Was hilarious, but sadly the tossers still won easily.

This , same old with them .

This season they will probably benefit even more heavily from this cruisey early draw but for the most part look pedestrian .

Expecting a top 6 finish and out first final , miles behind the best group of sides.
If they did play the Saints this week as planned the Saints would beat them imo
 
16 minute mark. Free Kick count WB 1 NM 6.
I had thought the umpires would have a cerebral embolism wondering how they could pay a free kick against either side. Their coin seems to have landed on one side.
