AFL Game Day R2 2021

Re: AFL Game Day R2 2021

That was a complete farce. Selwood gets such good run from the umps. Then the holding the ball decision that Blicavs got away with! Diabolical!

And Dangerfield. I hate how during a contest the moment he hears the umpire's whistle he jumps to his feet and starts running backwards looking for the ball to be thrown to him.

Re: AFL Game Day R2 2021

In over ten years there's not been a single decision he hasn't complained vehemently about!

He has taught the players well, they constantly call for free kicks, especially Selwood who I hate so much

Re: AFL Game Day R2 2021

That's one of the all time worst missed free kicks. Can you imagine how apoplectic Chris Scott would've been on the flip side.

Re: AFL Game Day R2 2021

I give up. That ground is enough of a leg up over the rest of the vic clubs and couple that with that sort of farcical umpiring, you can't win. It's basically a top 7 and not 8 because Geelong are gifted a spot every year.

Re: AFL Game Day R2 2021

Guthrie does a 360 degree turn in a tackle and throws the ball to a team-mate for a goal in the 3rd.
Blicavs stone-cold caught dropping it in the last 30 seconds and no obvious free given.

That's 2 absolute gift goals. I guess $300m from the tax-payer to build their pissant toy ground is not enough largesse for this piece of shit club.

Hey you leave Marginal Park out of this.

Re: AFL Game Day R2 2021

Gee Gary Rohan's round arm on Neale didn't look to great. Had shades of Barry Hall.....just not quite the connection. Behind play, off the ball.

Reckon Sellwood is in trouble too on the sling tackle. No damage done, but if the AFL is serious its about potential for damage as much as actual damage. Should be a week

Re: AFL Game Day R2 2021

The ump who didn't call that, needs to be dropped to umpire Managatang 2nds matches.

I was thinking Grong-Grong Matong last night.

Re: AFL Game Day R2 2021

I don't follow opposition teams closely but I have the impression - maybe wrong - that the player who laid the tackle on Blicavs was not a big name player. My theory is that if Joe Daniher or Lachie Neale had laid that tackle it would have been paid. But if it's an ekerish Joe Soap playing his 5th game after three years on the list - PLAY ON!!!

Can anyone enlighten me?

It was Zac Bailey who is a terrific young player. Ironically he was pinged for HTB in D50 on a far more marginal decision 5 minutes earlier (Jed Bews sprayed the set shot out in the full).

The Blicavs and Guthrie non decisions were just dreadful. They are the ultimate case for the prosecution for those of us wanting to forever get rid of prior opportunity from the rule book.

Re: AFL Game Day R2 2021

Don't worry everyone, Chris Scott has seen the vision and said there was nothing in the Rowan altercation with Neale. Also Neale started it (his words). So we can put that to bed.

Thanks Sedat. So my theory holds - twice. Zac Bailey pinged in very dubious decision - free kick Bews. Then Zac Bailey lays a game winning tackle against Blicavs - PLAY ON!! Putrid.

Note. Zac Bailey 36 games. Jed Bews 103 games Marc Blicavs 179 games

The hubris and entitlement everyone from that shithole carries beggars belief. They're either not playing enough games at Geelong, or they're not playing enough at the MCG and should get more either way. They're either incredulous about some form of (in their mind) ill-perceived notion of unfairness, or an inability to turn a blind eye to their players being arseholes.

I'm completely sick of them.

Re: AFL Game Day R2 2021

Still in complete shock that the Cats won that game of footy. They are truly blessed and Scott is a piece of work.

Re: AFL Game Day R2 2021

Of all the guys to throw a punch. Gary Rohan? Really?

Surprised his hand didn’t shatter.
