She yelled out "Hold..." and then stopped as Preuss let him go. Know idea what was going on there.

Did ANB just kiss Lewis' fingers?

If you want to know why Preuss let McGovern go in that tackle, go back and listen to the audio on a replay.

We get shafted even when we do get a free kick. Streaming forward into space. No advantage, bring it back.

Umps are going to start taking the kicks themselves soon.

Free kicks 0-7

How good are these Wagners!!??!!

I don't really see the attraction

Caaarn boys, going to need a massive effort here.

Are you on Casey radio? The callers might not know their names, they seem to be mainly calling the Cats players.

Is this the Geelong commentary team on Casey radio? And if so, why?

How quick was that review!!!???!!! We have the technology

I have no issue with the druggos being forced to wear their away jumper. Should be more of it.

Actually that sounds about right, I knew something happened. Certainly hope the players have been made aware of that during the week.

Ahh, thanks.

Wasn't it in the Eagles game earlier this year where one of 'them' came to the bench revving up their boys saying something like 'Dees are soft, no pressure'?

I think Oliver's biggest issue is lack of awareness to lay a shepherd. The number of times in a game he delivers a handpass to a player under pressure that he could shepherd for, but doesn't, would be an interesting stat.

I think it would've been planned and they've decided what the hell, run it anyway and see what happens. They probably have an inkling of the expected crowds and are having a little bit of a panic. Syd vs Melb Rnd 4 - 26,669 Rich Vs Melb Rnd 6 - 72,704 Coll Vs Melb Rnd 12 - 74,036 Let's see what we can produce as our home games. Admittedly the Pies game was QB which is hard to beat but I think that crowd was already affected by our season start.

Yep, massive wasted opportunity.

Does anyone know anything about Jamie Elliott's injuries? Can he be 'fixed'? Looking purely at his goals and goal assists (which is where we need drastic improvement), he's a good replacement for Jeffy, if he's on the park of course. Is he worth a look?

Yes you're correct. Which I find strange considering we have a midfielder that seems to grow a leg when given the tagging job. Harmes. His best games have been when given a run with role. He should be developing that by testing himself against the best mid each week for the remainder of the wasted year. How about Harmes tag, Brayshaw inside mid, Baker outside, Lewis left right out?

Whatever it is the footy department believe Lewis is bringing to the team is now completely irrelevant. Him playing in the team means a young kid is missing out on experience. He has to go. Brayshaw moves into whatever role Lewis was playing on the weekend, and Baker comes in to play the outside role. Yeah ANB, Hannan, but it's pretty much rearranging the deckchairs whoever we bring in there. Maybe Hannan out for either of Weids or Smith, whichever is fit. Go tall, what's the worst that could happen.

Thanks guys. Do you really think there was a push? Personally I don't think so. Yes there's blocking, as there is in every ruck contest, because essentially that is the contest. Both players are trying to maintain the best position to tap the ball, by blocking their opponent out of that best position. The point is, there's nothing in the laws of the game about having a straight arm is there? It's a ruling (I don't use the term interpretation) that's been invented by the umpires so they can apply it whenever they feel like it. It isn't a rule. They only apply it to one player in particular.

Which rule was broken TT?

Not to mention the old blow the whistle then call play on trick. I've never seen that one before. It's a ripper.
