Well done umpires. Another one for you guys... Um, Geelong...

[comrade]

That was hideous.

[The bulldog tragician]

Chris Scott. Blurrgghhh......

[bornadog]

Why was Dixon asked to play on????

[G-Mo77]

That was hideous.

Exactly my thoughts.

I just hate seeing reward for tackling well non paid. I only really watched one quarter one this game but hell I could have counted close to 10 not paid for Port in that quarter.

Took to long I think.

[ratsmac]

I am speechless after watching that. I feel for Port and I don't like them at all.
Dixon called to play on after the shot clock was 30.00001 seconds. Ffs what has the game with no rules become?

That was an absolutely terrible use of the shot clock. He wasn't milking it, he wasn't trying anything sneaky. He took a hit when he went to ground, took some time to get up and was walking in as they called it. Unbelievable. Reeks of the umpires doing everything they could to get Geelong over the line.

I only watched the last 13 minutes and I was flabbergasted. The Hawkins one was a joke, and Dixon non shot . Port missed easy goals in the last 5 minutes.

And how's the free to Henderson deep in defence for a phantom block when Gray was absolutely manhandled.

There needs to be a huge backlash that hopefully helps turn the tide for a few weeks, like we've copped all year.

[G-Mo77]

The scary thing about the shot clock violation...... could this be the rule of the round?

The man handling by the Geelong backs was constant, especially on Robbie Gray

Watch the footage, you see the Geelong players set up ten metres away from Dixon each side of the start of his run up appealing for the clock violation to be called.

Question is, did the umpire react to the clock or the appealing?

The umpires in Geelong are worse than the Perth umps.

I'd have to double check the rule, but doesn't it start once you get up off the ground? If not, the rule is a shambles.

And to answer your question, I'd say they definitely reacted to the appealing. Smart (yet unethical) by the Cats players to suck the umpire in and shame on the umpire for falling for it.
