Unqualified opinion

If that maggot is so adamant on the rules he would’ve called play on on grimes for going over the mark

Then shepherding the ball drop and he got the free!!!!! Even took his eyes off the ball to look at ladhams. If Gawn was allowed to infringe and get away with it like Hawkins he would easily be the GOAT (if he isn’t already 😉)

Can’t believe Kane Cornes tonight when he was saying Merrett shouldn’t have been suspended as he’ll miss ANZAC Day. The issue I have with this one is that his dumping of Sparrow was to hold up play, he knew he’d already given away a free for high contact so to hold him up he took him to ground. Sparrow probably made the incident look worse as he knew he’d already won the free. But overall Merrett was rightly suspended for his dangerous tackle, big game or not the action needs to be penalized. However why was the potential to cause harm not added to this suspension? If he dumped him, then Sparrow could’ve been concussed. Why the inconsistency?

Huddo is one of the worst AFL commentators.

why didn’t the lights go out in the first quarter

Drawn game. Please please please

Just had a free pour gin. I’m on my way!!

they obviously don’t feel like they’ve done enough

Hope that sparks something

Oliver said it correct. He had prior opportunity.

Time on goals are great when we kick them

That’s a good goal to Benny Brown. Perfectly executed.

Surely a trainer on field for an uninjured player (if you can call zoeko that) is a fifty. umps have been very poor so far - didn’t see a duck and paid high, then did see a duck but didn’t adjudicate the prior opportunity correctly, can’t do centre bounces straight up. Bailey tackled and just dropped it, Cameron tackled and bounced ball on ground. But we are playing horrendous too which wouldn’t change the result of a very poor quarter.

We are the third match on the Adelaide oval. Hopefully it holds up and there are no injuries. Wouldn’t want to be a Collingwood or saints player with a dodgy knee.

Hawkins should’ve finished the lions off. Three gettable shots sprayed

They (Geelong) have had the rub so far.

Mentioned on SEN on Sunday that you don’t push a door with bent knuckles. Was 100% intentional and deserves to get a week (or 2). Is such a peasant act. But most of my issues are with the two umpires who could’ve have stopped the tussle by blowing a free kick. Oliver was all over berry and berry contacted high. But in all that they didn’t see a free kick - FMD!!

A lot of good points raised by all. No one contributing factor. Hard to say whether the year was wasted…..will be determined whether the learnings are taken on board. We have a nucleus that can win several more premierships. I trust that next year we will bounce back and we will be a dominant force again. (I want the 2023 premiership market to open, I’m that bullish). I think we wanted to replicate 2021 too much. We set up our season perfectly but then the unfortunate injuries hit. Burgo’s mantra of playing through the niggles was not the right plan. As mentioned we have the cattle at vfl, Gawn|Brown|Lever|Tracc etc. who suffered some sort of set backs and all should have been rested to hit finals cherry ripe. The replacements aren’t stars, but are serviceable and can play roles. The cats managed their stars and it pains me that they are still in contention and in the box seat. We needed our selection panel to take a mature approach in round 18-21. Whilst I am still disappointed, I can see 🏆🏆🏆 on the horizon. 🔴🔵

Is that for all the one eyed supporters 😉

Can somebody please plant anti inflammatories on these commentators.

Cause he gets the sack? Just like their throwing he has somehow avoided scrutiny for only just scraping into finals from playing in the gf the year prior.

What a kick from o’driscoll

With Gary Rohan kicking goals in finals. Geelong won’t choke and collingwood might lose a close one. AFL worlds gone crazy

Why is play stopped?

Geelong
