Hurts me to say it, but BT is barking up the right tree ATM.

I have watched old footage of the game (who hasn’t) and it has always struck me how quickly the umps would blow the whistle for a ball up, charge in and get the game going straight away.

The ridiculous amount of time it takes to get the ball back into play after a stoppage creates a lot of the congestion that we now have. Why wait for ruckman? Just get the ball going FFS

Boring as batshit rather watch Carltank getting flogged on Fridays.

Be careful what you wish for as it could remove one of the strongest aspects of our team.  We might lose Gawn, Jones, Oliver, Viney and co around the ball ups.

Nah, I want it.

So who’s even playing tonight?

How the hell did crameri get a game? I know he kicked a goal but he’s done nothing else and Keilty kept him too 1 goal in raging Geelong VFL game last week

Would suit us too with a fit Max beating most rucks to the ball up.

I think it’d spawn a lot of Blicavs cloned.  Tallish athletes with a big tank.

Nah...if they get the game going quickly there will be less congestion and less ball ups around the ground.

It never hurt the likes of Mick Nolan in the old days.

ugly game to watch. giants can get any decent structure going

Man, H-S going hard against Freo, Lyon, Keene and McLachlan...

I like anyone that gets into Dill, he deserves all he gets but the Herald Sun has really been positioning itself up with the best of the British Tabloid press as of recent times (and maybe not so recent).

Giants are way off.  Very fumbly.  Can’t see them kicking enough goals.

Giants too many good players out. Boring game.

Think the ball moved around the ground a lot slower back then.  

It’s also worth noting that every ball up that BT complained about the congestion, there was not a single secondary ball up; it cleared the congestion into space every time.

Giants falling into the same “bomb it into the forward line trap” against the cats.  Nice to know we’re not the only stupid ones.

What a steaming pile of absolute bullcrap. Examining the lint filter is more exciting than this tiddwiddle 

Geelong brought their own umpires tonight. 

GWS look soft as [censored]. 

Remember when ever 3rd free kick was chopping the arms? I’m shocked when they call it now.

Crameri has played ok. 

Borringgggggg, I have now stopped watching. At least next friday night hawks swans game should be interesting. 

This result means nothing tonight.  GWS are missing a raft of good players and they're playing the Cats on their home deck.

Not only that but we'll have a weekend of 'how good are the kids at the Cattery' when blokes like Jack Henry are able to run around in the backline without any responsibility.  At one stage their tallest player was Coniglio.

God I hate Geelong.

Shaw crapped himself, for a bloke who loves to mouth off I hope the rest of his career he is reminded of that.

AFL wants play that flows quick…makes players all-but sign a contract to play ruckman at a stoppage.

BT's all over it.

I hate to have to admit it but I actually agree with the idiot BT ....  what was wrong with just throwing the bloody thing up immediately, and IF a "third man up" joins in the sure, penalise him.

Back to the game ....  are Geelong that good or are GW$$$ bad, or a bit of both?

OMG that mark by Hawkins 2 minutes to go in 3rd quarter just incredible ....  but surely he has to go, especially given his record, for that back of head late punch, than deliberately manhandling (softly) the maggot.

And where was Ratugolea in the draft? What a strong young man .... could be anything.

Is that a sideline of naval gazing??  Do you have a filter there?

Wow what a shizen game on a Friday night. Hope we get the Giants when they’re playing like this - they are woeful. And Geelong aren’t actually playing all that well themselves.

Makes the saints draw against gws look like not much
