[BoBo 2,961]

15-6 scoring shots to GWS. Smacking the cats just not converting.

Its offical.

Umpires do not pay holding the ball, or throwing the bal.  So many ball upps as a result.

After Jesse's mark fiasco I have swithed off the game.  

Unless Dees play umps/AFL Footy Ops dept. have stolen my enjoyment

Much prefer watching VFL (Casey) now D17.  The umpiring there is at least a pass mark most weeks and i don't have to put up with "enter the sandman" pre match type rubbish plus the gound MC voice blaring in my ears at every single break.

Its old school footy and just pure footy watching the boys develop and hone their skills / craft plus see how some of the seniors are doing post injury / recovery.

It's also an easy get in terms of parking and price (or no cost using the membership) as the case may be.  The food is basic but reasonably priced or you can just take your own stuff with you.

Most games are also during the day, making the standard fairly reasonable without the greasy / slippery ball stuff that you get at night time matches.  Of which we seem to play alot of!

Add to that the ever increasing cost, no cash accepted nonsense, AFL fixture / start up club bias, the constant "it's this week or that week build ups" and it all adds up to a big turn off for me now.

The AFL is sucking the life and enjoyment out of the big stage stuff now.

Riccardi a stellar game so far.

That goal in the 3rd was very special.

Something you don't see alot of from the big fellas much nowadays.

Thought it was changed tp 20 at the time of the Mac Andrew AFL fix?

Did they as change it back again after 2018 or so?

Giants have found their shooting boots. It's starting to look ominous for the cats

[Demon Dynasty 17,169]

Watching Peatley tonight, really hoping we'll see Kolt get another shot at it soon.

Reckon he'll bring a similar exuberation, desperation and run to this group if he gets the chance.

Worked with his father a few years ago. Father is a Melbourne supporter which means FA of course.

It’s great entertainment, fans going off their chops in the stands. 
Unfortunately it’s game back on. 

[DubDee 26,736]

Hogan missed an easy shot to make it 37pts and game over

went straight up the other end. momentum now only 14 points

[ANG13 2,112]

How good is it having two cats supporters commentating. Please please win Giants. 

[BoBo 2,961]

C’mon Giants get the momentum back

That second quarter was great. Alas, it’s all Geelong since then. Was looking forward to seeing Scott’s sourpuss mug.

Alir pls

[Guest]

Come on Giants ffs 😡

[DubDee 26,736]

Geelong supporters are unbelievable. Deathly quiet when their players need to hear them most, only find their voices when their players least need to hear them.

The barracking for Geelong is nauseating. Not as overt as some commentators (BT) but just as unprofessional. 

[layzie 34,529]

Only Toby Greene could do that

TOBY!!!!!!
