NON-MFC: Round 20, 2022

[DubDee 20,683]

Selwood constantly whinging and complaining and people wonder why he is not respected as he should be. Just play the game FFS

Out for dins now so relying on this thread. So far so good I guess

The Channel 7 graphics department must have borrowed some 3’s from the other channels to be able to show the age of so many of these Geelong players. My word they are old. It’s insane.

Yes and won’t it show up in September. Geez I hope we play them.

[Bombay Airconditioning 5,896]

Random thought….

Blues don’t make the 8 (even if they win tonight).

Lions @ Gabba 

Dees @ MCG

Pies @ MCG

Selwood is a gun, a great footballer, tough and hard as nails, courageous and more skilled by foot than he is given credit for. And he is probably in the top 5 captains of all time. One of the best last quarter players I have seen, and is personally responsible for getting the Cats over the line in many games through leadership and courage.

But his ducking, whinging, throwing, and "lip service" to opposition players and umpires marks him way down in terms of the respect he gets - from me and many other non-Geelong football people. My daughter, soon and I went to the Geelong final in 2018 and got seats near the fence at the dug-outs where all the interchanges happen. We could hear and see a lot of what went on. I have never, ever in my life head someone whinge and complain like Selwood. Really surprised me, and really annoyed me. 

Despite all his greatness I can't stand watching him play now.

It’s a horrible experience for any supporter from another team. For a stadium that’s 60-90 minutes drive for 5 million people I have no idea why the AFL continues to allow them to cater purely for their members.

Look at the experience of Optus, The Gabba, The Adelaide Oval, or the SCG. Why is the closest out of Melbourne experience so absolutely dreadful?

And while Marvel cops a lot of flak, they’re actually pretty hospitable to the opposition. Same with the Adelaide Oval.

Forgot during my rant to mention that we had to pay $61 for the privilege of subjecting ourselves to the Mordor experience. That’s more than any other venue charges.

Agree with most of that but one of the Best 5 captains of all time?

not even close. You know how many flags he’s won as captain? Zero. Walked into one of the best sides of all time

I honestly don’t know how it’s allowed to only offer only ~700 oppo tickets. Surely there are some rules? Should be minimum 3K. If not sold with 2 days out they go to home fans

Many Dees fans missed out. We had cheer squad members struggling to get tickets! And then we get there and there’s a tonne of empty seats. 😠

[Bitter but optimistic 21,278]

Umpire's gift that !!!! 

[Clintosaurus 6,447]

Ridiculously soft free for the Cats. Umps are a joke.

[Nascent 7,286]

Dunkley weak there and cats in front.

[monoccular 16,076]

Plenty of throws, unpenalised, from both sides. 🤮🤮🤮
 

PS what a pathetic shape for a “top level” ground, in the premier competition.

How could nobody have tackled Duncan?  Now another nail in the Bulldog ⚰️ 

[Clintosaurus 6,447]

Umps changed the momentum of this game

[Sir Why You Little 34,516]

Footscray have pooed themselves big time. Last week was their Grand Final

Jeelong are just hideous in all facets 

Absolute Karmichael Hunts

[Demonland 65,210]

Can’t believe we lost to the Dogs. They look a second rate team. 

It’s going to be hard for anyone to beat Geelong. 

[BDA 20,080]

Dogs are done

I'm turning it over to the Crows game. They're in front by 9

[The heart beats true 16,202]

Watching Geelong play at this ground is so infuriating. They just know what space to mark because they practice it every week with traffic cones. They did exactly the same thing against us.

Meanwhile every Bulldog player who played out of their skins last week look completely ineffectual when not on the carpet like surface of Marvel.

[Demonland 65,210]

Bulldogs can’t get near the ball yet they’re leading frees 10 to 6 at one of the hardest places to win a free. 

[P-man 13,168]

This is pathetic from the Dogs.

[rufus 916]

Cats look extremely good...pretty similar to us last year...just overwhelimg teams with inside 50s until the goals flow like an avalanche. 

[Dee Zephyr 17,520]

Dangerfield realises his chance for a flag is running out. He’s possessed tonight.

[WalkingCivilWar 31,966]

Ugh not only will they win but now they’ll probably have a massive percentage boost.
