Not only this but one of the reasons they’re s**t is because they lost their defensive line coach to some team in the west. I hear they’re going alright these days.

Matthew Nichols had a shocker there, that was a 20m kick, plus Rowbottom made no attempt to get the ball out then.

If theres one thing Nicholls isnt very good at, its making decisions around siren time.

True, still have nightmares from 13 from him utterly butchering the decision not to ping Hodge when he soccered it 3 times from the centre square for deliberate.

The club didn't want him but they did what they felt was the right thing anyway with hogan on his knees and the media and fans slamming freo with pressure to get him. It didn't work, it is what it is, there's nothing we can do about it. This is one we just have to move on from and stop playing blame game on Freo/Jesse etc.

Geelong gets saved time and time again by umpires. Boo hoo. Win the game by kicking straight. 12.16. Yeah blame the umps.
Selwood melting was delicious. Didn’t get his weekly high tackle free

Bad umpiring is bad umpiring. I enjoyed the result too but surely you can't be protecting Nicholls there. That was absolutely diabolical the last two minutes. I'd be very peed off if that happened to us. Completely swayed by the home crowd.

Dunno if he called touched but you can definitely hear the ump calling play on while the ball was in the air. That is if this is the clip you are talking about.

Nah, he's repeatedly yelling, "Play on - not fifteen."

Who knew that you had to hire a babysitter for a 25 year old to get him to succeed?
I’m a total neutral with no preference for either club. I just want to see a better standard of umpiring all round.
I have seen several fans online on Twitter and even BF saying the umpire called “touched - play on”
That’s Donald Trump levels of fake news and delusion.
The umpire CLEARLY shouts PLAY ON NOT FIFTEEN about 4 times here in this clip!!!
It’s quite remarkable/laughable how some people just make up something that never happened and aggressively promote it to support their own (usually biased) point of view!
Yeah it looked like Stewart could have marked that if he really tried but let it go out in expectation of a deliberate OOB call that wasn’t given.
Any win today will do me. Not sure if we have the firepower up front to win big.
Kapow!!!

Interesting reaction given this was your reaction to the same thing happening to Brisbane against Geelong earlier this year....
Yeah, it was more than 15m. Geelong robbed but also they should be dirty at Clarke’s blatant and stupid push in the back that allowed the Swans an easy out from the Geelong zone which was well set up but then left them vulnerable down back because of the free kick. Swans don’t hit the lead without that stupidity.
