Chook

Geelong does still have that lifestyle card, if you consider high-class dining in Melbourne of a weeknight, with being a surfing-farmer-come-afl-footballer the rest of the time a lifestyle. Actually, it doesn't sound too bad now that I write it down. Too bad their jumper sucks and I can't stand anyone who has ever worn it.

Doot doot doo-doo, doo doo-doo-doo-doo doooo...

Serious questions need to be asked at Pie-land tonight. To give up that lead with just 20 minutes of game time left, is just ridiculous lack of defensive accountability.

lol pies I can't stand either side, but at least the trailing side at 3qt won. Fun to watch the pies meltdown.

Praying for a meteor with 1 second left. Accept no compromises.

The days of domination may be over (thanks Tim Lane), but like Michael Myers the Cats will seemingly never truly die. Scores level with 10 minutes left after the cats trailed by 30 at 3qt. Mental.

Playing for frees. Umps listen to a few blokes - Pendles is one of them.

I believe it was brought in after an early 2010s GF where Ablett Jr either did this, or had this done to him. It's called the Ablett rule, i.e., illegally blocking a player from getting a handball receive is a 50 rather than a free to the infringed player. Rarely enforced, and usually incorrectly awarded a free to the infringed player (not a 50 as per the rule). One actually happened to (I think Hunt) in the Dees game last night when Langdon tried to handpass to him but Hunt was impeded. Hunt got the free, but IMO it should have been 50 per the rule. It totally destroyed our momentum in that passage, which I believe is what the rule was brought in to prevent.

Thought you were gonna pot him, then thought you were gonna praise him, then saw you pot him. This post truly was a journey.

Why wouldn't you be pumping up the best looking bloke in the comp (according to Brayshaw anyway)?

I actually yelled out “what are you doing Lauren” as she started looking around. Bizarre choice and lucky it didn’t come back to cost us.

Dees lead 4.2.26 to 2.3.15

McNamara joins the wingers clubs of miraculous goals from the boundary with a beauty!

McNamara hits the post at half time. We are playing well below our best here.

I reckon it might be 60/40 in Brisbanes favour in the stands.

Gonna be some rough weather today by the look. Unfortunately I’m expecting a pretty poor crowd as a result. I’m gonna suffer through it though to be a part of history and see the girls scrub a mighty win in the wet.

Yeah I figured that was the reason. Extremely odd to see BT gushing over a Melbourne player regardless of why though.

Goody: Lever back next week Petty VFL next week or the week after

Brian Taylor LOVES Sam Wiedeman.

Looking at Tommy walking off the ground I reckon he knows what's on the cards - possibly no Ben Brown next week, so he might have one more chance in the side but if Brown is in I reckon it's for McDonald.

Got there - a slightly un-Melbourne scoreline (oppo kicked 70 points rather than 50-60) but we got the Melbourne margin (20-30).

6 Oliver 5 Brayshaw 4 Langdon 3 Harmes 2 May 1 Jackson

Call off goal of the year, you won't see one better than that from Langdon.

I though the exact same thing. With lever in the side, that's an easy Lever intercept mark.

Umps don't all seem to know that rule.
