whatwhat say what 23,855 Posted October 17, 2020 Posted October 17, 2020 cats should be miles up so many wasted opportunities Quote
Lord Travis 10,819 Posted October 17, 2020 Posted October 17, 2020 Cats have wasted opportunities and should be further in front. Interesting second half coming up! Even half a step slower these days, Ablett is still dangerous and just such a smart footballer. Still contributing at his age. Superstar! 3 Quote
Return to Glory 8,518 Posted October 17, 2020 Posted October 17, 2020 (edited) The umpiring in this game is close to the worst I've seen in a final. 10 - 2 Brisbane's way but it's beyond these simple numbers. It's Cats being pinged for everything and Lions being let go. How was the call against Ablett for the shot at goal! You cannot tell me that such lopsided umpiring doesn't effect momentum and then result. The Brisbane in GF narrative is surely a compelling one for the AFL Edited October 17, 2020 by Return to Glory 4 Quote
dl4e 5,851 Posted October 17, 2020 Posted October 17, 2020 I thaught Fitzroy came back into the game about 1/2 way through that quarter. They keep this up they will win. Quote

TheoX 1,222 Posted October 17, 2020 Posted October 17, 2020 AFL would love the lions in the GF. Umpires are doing their best to make it happen. Pretty disgraceful, the ump with dark hair has got to be on the take. Quote
The heart beats true 18,201 Posted October 17, 2020 Posted October 17, 2020 I’ve cracked the Channel 7 commentary formula... ‘Recognised player x almost does something spectacular, but ultimately fails to impact the contest. Commentators talk back and forth about what was almost done, and completely ignore the action of what’s happening. Wait for the next stoppage to rejoin the action. Immediately comment on what a good job umpire (insert umpires full name) is doing. Wait until a player breaks free of the contest and immediately call their kick either a ‘chiseler’ or a ‘squeezy one’. Rinse and repeat.’ How’d I go? Do I get the job? 6 1 Quote
DubDee 26,674 Posted October 17, 2020 Posted October 17, 2020 If Ablett wanted to play one more year id sign him for sure Quote

DubDee 26,674 Posted October 17, 2020 Posted October 17, 2020 Darcy was trying to explain tactics at half time. Someone give the boy a sticker and let him play in the sand pit for the rest of the day 1 Quote

He said something at one stage like 'that's what I thought i saw' before awarding another Brisbane freekick Quote
Brownie 6,086 Posted October 17, 2020 Posted October 17, 2020 I really do hate Geelong and Richmond. I don't think Brisbane deserve to be in a granny after watching this first half. However, if there's ever a time for these cheating yellow maggots to give a team a ride to a premiership cup, it's this year. If this favouritism continues for the lions this week and next, it might actually make the media and then the afl take the lack of professionalism and quality of these umps seriously and actually do something about it.......or maybe not. 1 Quote

Redleg 42,156 Posted October 17, 2020 Posted October 17, 2020 The Lions ruckmen have sh-t for brains. At every throw in they are behind the Cats ruckman, who is getting the tap or grabbing the ball every time. The commentators have finally twigged to it. Dumbest football you could see. Hawkins in front, in the forward line throw ins, has got the ball every time. 1 Quote
Hogan2014 390 Posted October 17, 2020 Posted October 17, 2020 (edited) Cats & tigers gf wax hoping port & lions so nobody I know would be happy winning a flag Edited October 17, 2020 by Hogan2014 1 Quote
Jaded No More 68,976 Posted October 17, 2020 Posted October 17, 2020 2020 has been such a [censored] year, why not add a Geelong flag to the list of horrible things we’ve had to go through ? 2 1 Quote
bobby1554 1,275 Posted October 17, 2020 Posted October 17, 2020 The great Charlie has had a blinder since quarter time. Compare that to Ablett. Maybe he needs to get that motor bike revved up Quote
dees189227 12,512 Posted October 17, 2020 Posted October 17, 2020 Geelong just dominating, but the lions are still in this. That missed shot by Hipwood was a disgrace. Directly in front, no excuses. Quote
