    Geelong's midfield runs 2-deep - their midfield depth is as bad as any team in the competition.

      Kieran Jack kicks a great goal and his team mates get around him to show him support. Great moment.

      Which channel 7 obligingly kills by showing pictures of his crying partner.

      *!*!*!*!ing pitiful.

        Geelong got murdered at ground level as well as off half back .
        Impressed with Sydney's young players tonight . Allir has been there for a while now, and their development and coaching is first class

          Actually, and I can't believe that I know something as stupid as this off the top of my head, the field umpire punched the ball back into play like a volleyball service and the ball had to hit the ground before it could be touched by a player. They didn't have boundary umpires until 1904.
          They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

            Next pub trivia I go to better have this question, now it's taking space up in my pea sized brain. Still the most obvious deliberate out of bounds in the game's history, and for some reason Ling argued the point...

              Mostly because Ling is a ding bat.

                Strange what happens when you make Geelong's tall defenders accountable and don't let them walk the ball out of defence.

                    And Bruce continued to refer to her during the telecast. Shocking decision making.

                    The worst thing is, it was not unexpected....

                        Collingwood 18 points up at half time after being 24 points down at quarter time. Missed a sitter on the bell too.

                            Would be great for us.

                            Pies look switched on, should be a good finish.
                            Have you heard Butters wants to come to the Dogs?

                              Nope.

                              I'll barrack for any team over this pack of upstarts. Go Pies!

                                Pies giving the GWS trademark a lesson in tin arse goals. Good to see.
                                But then again, I'm an Internet poster and Bevo is a premiership coach so draw your own conclusions.
