Selwood cheating sniper -- again a free to him against the retaliaor

And that is THE main reason I despise this team.

Joel Selwood constantly stages, and the umpires look after him more than any other player in the comp. 

whatever he said to Riley knight really upset him.

The bloody maggots are keeping the Cats within striking distance.

Good Lord the umps are doing everything to hand this to Geelong.

Razor Ray has decided he's forgotten the rules now. A dead set cheat !!

Cant remember seeing a worse one sided umpiring display (in a neutral game) than tonight.   

Geelong getting half there frees and Adelaide not getting many obvious ones.

Footy is a game of inches... and never give a sucker an even break

Ideal results from this weeks round of footy...

Adelaide Vs Geelong - Geelong loss as their percentage lower and more likely to fall. Plus the Cats are smug.

Essendon vs North - Any Dons loss a good thing, a loss makes it harder for them to catch us.

Western Bulldogs Vs Goldcoast Suns - A GCS win would almost put Doggies out of the race

Sydney Vs Saints - Hard call, but if we are bold and capable we'll be contesting with Swans for spot in top 4, so Saints to win.

Freo Vs Hawks - Both teams out of race, higher Hawks finish lower their gift to the Saints is... 

Richmond Vs GWS - Want Tigers to lose as would open up 5th spot, and a Tigers end of H&A flame out would be poetry..

Collingwood Vs Westcoast - Want WC to lose, pies to start their EOS celebrations/palpatations asap 

Brisbane Vs Carlton - Go Lions!  ... it's Carlton

Given the evenness of the competition its actually hard to pick which results would benefit us most...

 

You dont want GWS to open up 2nd or 3rd place with a loss to the tigers? I thought you were being bold! :P Edit: Im only half joking. Id prefer richmond to lose to some teams down the bottom afterbeating gws. Then we can move past both with a win against port and gws! 2nd or 3rd would be irrelevant if its at the mcg vs geelong! Unless you really hate our away strip.

I like your thinking! Maybe I do... but I'd hate for the Tiggers to take our spot... and it's so fun watching the Tigers unravel, Collingwoodesque as they say. ;)

Adelaide/ Cats thought i'd seen the worst umpired game this year.....but this one was a doozy, Like seeing two mad doctors running around a mental home, absolute disgrace.....

Highest amount of free's paid in this game than any other for the whole season and yet they missed so many throws. Geelong throw more than the Bulldogs last year. I get so angry watching "Duckwood" sniping, ducking and acting the injured party for free kicks. Dangermouse has gone the same way as well. Are they instructed to play this way or does it come naturally????

Well, Danger should get a fine for staging! 

https://www.foxsports.com.au/afl/reverse-free-was-soft-but-patrick-dangerfield-didnt-dive-says-peter-bell/news-story/ca54fab2768bbf5ed74f4ebc7eacb199

So, when is 'diving' not 'diving'?  Saying it was cleaver tactics is skirting round the issue for a protected species. 

If the AFL want to stamp out staging and diving, then penalise the big names like Rance and Danger, instead of allowing kids like Oliver to be pilloried in the press for far less!

On a side note Geelong desperate to get finals played in their kitty litter. They know they're poo elsewhere !!

Good call bb! 

You must have been eavesdropping!  https://www.foxsports.com.au/afl/eddie-mcguire-disagrees-with-geelong-president-colin-carters-call-for-cats-finals-to-be-played-at-simonds-stadium/news-story/05592a370a55c24374419f0b53031e26

Thankfully, Eddie has slammed it. 

A few weeks ago, Scott went so far to say Clubs should decide where their in season Home games should be played.  That would be nice for all of us but then he added 'locking out fans should not be factored in!  Yeah, so he gets 11 games at SS with a 95% parochial crowd.

I just can't get over the sense of entitlement of some teams.  Geelong, Essendon and Carlton are the worst in the league.

Geelong will almost certainly get a final at Kardinia Park if they are playing an interstate team.

The only reason there was any question over it a few years back was that the AFL had guaranteed a certain number of finals for Docklands. Now that the AFL own Docklands that problem no longer arises.

Although the various governments funded the upgrade of Kardinia Park one wonders whether 11 home games will be enough to fund the ongoing maintenance of the stadium. It would be ironic if they have to put up ticket prices just to maintain their "new palace."

And I don't think anyone has a problem with it if it is one of the smaller interstate team. 

The problem is the carte blanche Geelong want to play all their finals at SS regardless of who the opp is.  Supporters of Vic team and probably Adelaide/Sydney/Port, who have good sized memberships and members who will take an hour flight, will want to see their team in a final. 

Its at times like this I think it is great for Eddie to use his pulpit to protect the interests of all teams.

you make a good point but remember a few years back where the SA supporters didn't turn up for the first final because they were saving their money for the bigger finals to come.

Geelong will argue that the extra revenue from finals games is part of their stadium business case.

Other clubs should simply say ... ok but we want 50% of the seats offered to non Geelong members. If that were to happen the Geelong members would soon be screaming for the game to be moved.

Geelong aren't good enough to win the flag, fhey rely on two players and those two players rely on four blokes in yellow. 

Crows and swans are the best two sides

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea
