McGovern takes well over 30 seconds to line up after landing heavily and getting up slowly after a contested mark (as should be allowed given commonsense). But Dixon...

Most flexible rulebook, just depends when and where you want to use it ultimately.

I was listening to Joe Rogans podcast today and they were talking about the NBA ref that is in jail for fixing games. He says it's rife in the NBA. With some of the absolute garbage we see in AFL you have to wonder. No mention of the shot clock there at all.

Crows supporter running the scoreboard obviously.

Tex walking around, who can I push in the back next and start a fight with...

Would love to see him try that on Dixon.

 

[Valentino]

I will reserve my judgement on the crows till we play them in 16 days. I think they are incredibly getable but i just don't rate them maybe to my own detriment.

Hopefully it goes according to past scripts. They win big this week against a side that just did not turn up, media pumps them up. They win bigger next week against a nobody, the media pumps them bump to bursting point. Following week they are talked about as best ever, they go BANG.

How nice it would be if we ever got to face THIS Geelong.

 

[jordz82]

Wow, talia gets pinged for that now?

 

[FishingRick04]

Can't believe how the cats look at the umps and they get a free kick

The mark was paid by Razor Ray with EXACTLY 40 seconds to go on the clock - yet he is allowed to kick it after the siren! WTF??

Well at least we know now who the person responsible for the shot clock at AO barracks for. Remember the Dixon one that started when the ball was still in the crowd?

Betts throws his head back. Crickets.

Quiet please

I was gonna say, the cards are falling for you guys to snag 2nd especially if GWS lose to Richmond in Melbourne which is a chance.

We've still got to win this week first. We've choked everytime a 3rd win in a row has been possible, against several top 8 sides, and whenever a chance all year has opened up for us to put ourselves in a good spot on the ladder.

We're far from a certain thing tomorrow. In fact I'd have Melbourne as favourites.

 

[70sDinosaur]

When was the last time Geelong put in a poor performance against us?

I think it was round 3, 1997.

 

[Boxx]

Im pretty sure thats 50m against the trainer for walking through the mark...

 

[Garibaldi Red]

Haha how have you seen Edith's game Lingy. "Solid".

Yep, a hecken solid 3 disposal game.

 

[Garibaldi Red]

And just as I say that he's done 2 nice things in 20 seconds

 

[Scholz Supremacy]

This game has potentially broken Geelong for season 2017.

Well that's a good thing.

 

[bomberclifford]

Booing a clear free when the game is already iced. Strange mob.

Noticed every time he marks outside 50 - straight to Tex

 

[Power Girl]

I keep hearing yelling from the living room and then it occurred to me, the crows are very frightened of a geelong/Dangerfield comeback. You could tell from the first quarter that crows would win but that has warmed the cockles of my heart they can't enjoy it during the game. I am a little bit evil.

 

[OneGreatClub]

It's the 4th quarter and the crowd are still there

If it was a title defence fight I'd back Dad

52 frees already tonight with a fair bit of time left. Adding to the trend of over officiated games, and too much umpiring influence on the play.

 

[RussellEbertHandball]

Typical -crows have missed 5 succesive set shots and give umpires and Geelong a sniff.
