[censored] i hate the Cats

Biulldogs all over them but 17 behinds is too many

Dogs have thrown this. With a little help from the umps when needed.

That missed pass to bukas by richards really changed the game

Very annoying that the umpires seriously effect the momentum of the game with dubious decisions, ones that even the commentators are laughing about

Dogs have been crucified by the maggots tonight. I’d love me to see every other team play down there just like we do.

Has been the same story for us a number of times—gotta take advantage of your chances. 17 behinds is brutal.

But at the same time…frees being 26-12 is just appalling. And I reckon if you look at where/when those frees were paid it was just as appalling.

The umpires loved the dogs for a few years so a little pay back perhaps

they still throw it a lot

Geelong took their chances and kicked straight. Footscray did not.

Dogs are in trouble

Yep & the 2nd quarter which I'm sure they'll scrutinise because they were terrible

Umpiring in this match worth an AFL inquiry. But in the end if you kick with that level of accuracy, you will win most matches.

At least we won’t get those umpires Sunday😁

Harmes, JJ, Libba, McNeil

0.8 combined

So Troy Pannell getting called by Ricciuto for an AFL investigation…………….may as well make it a comprehensive umpire-wide investigation.

Especially the uber dodgy #22 Nathan Williamson.

Mr Outspoken Cornes shuts his face when there’s a bad decision

bevo vs kornes, neither backing down...

Bulldogs fans should be outraged. The free kicks for Geelong are a joke and fixed 26 to 12. Dogs got high shots and no free kicks. Cats goals from frees to nil. Seriously !!!

Bulldogs have had one win against a top 8 side ..GWS …

If the AFL are serious then Kornes needs to be banned from being on the ground.

Not sure for how long but it needs to happen.

He just can't do this kind of thing & get away with it.

Agreed but the AFL and media love the controversy. All week they were pushing the Bailey Smith v Bulldogs line and trying to incite a response. The cameras during the game honed in on a group of mad Dogs fans going nuts and upped the volume when the booing came for Bailey. Smith had more camera on him than Nick Daicos. All had the desired effect. Corns v Bev just part of the same soap opera. Tune in for the next instalment

Recently there have been a few posts complaining that at the ball up after a goal, the video starts with a small inset of the centre area which only widens out to fill the screen as the ball is bounced. The complaint is that makes it impossible to see how the players are setting up for the bounce.

But it reached a new height last night - the full screen view often didn't switch to the bounce until well after the play was actually underway. Instead we see the face of the player who kicked the goal for a second or third time.

Forget detailed analysis - they can't even broadcast the game. It is clear that they have no interest in football, just drama (and $).

The issue as I see it is how the umpires are coached. This is how some teams are umpired differently to others. Pies, Hawks and Cats in particular. And Bulldogs when not playing any of the mentioned teams.

Just dumb then by English. Dogs have all the momentum & a dumb free gives cameron his 6th

Not even sure what the free was for, let alone the very soft 50m penalty. Headband umpire is having a mare.

Yep, exactly!

One of the most important parts of the game – Centre clearances – is almost impossible to see with most broadcast.

And don’t even get me started on the incompetence of the VFL broadcasts. You’re lucky to have the picture on the screen at all – just some rubbish that they put on during the breaks.

We all know that the umpiring last night was disgraceful.

The next question I guess is whether it was misconduct, or simple incompetence?

If it’s the “noise of affirmation”, can we put some noise cancelling headphones on these guys, or give them some training on not being easily influenced?
