McCrae said home teams have an advantage."It would've been paid at the 'G" In other words he admitted his mob are gifted an armchair ride at the 'G. Moaning about the umpires is something I'd never expect Goodwin to do. It was entirely p&$# weak of McCrae who has had it easy and been a smug so and so. What goes around comes around. Lovin it and about to sit down and watch the last quarter again. SUCK IT UP SUNSHINE.

The decisions were correct. No doubt at all. (It would’ve been better if they weren’t but you can’t have everything.)

Worth considering Jefferson. It's certainly not worth having a compromised May being belted out there. Charlie Dixon would hit those ribs every time. Lever, Petty, TMac back in the Men's Department.

Top of the head Sunday morning rant. Would not mind if Freo won it. I'd also cop GWS. Love Tobes and Jesse. Pies and Blues always repugnant. Port are undeserving as is their coach. Brisbane would be almost acceptable. Had a gutful of the Cats and they're probably not good enough. Dogs are a chance but not sure they can maintain this form which needs a 2016 repeat.

Sorry, but what is it with the apostrophe?

Some of you need to understand where the Dogs are right now. Beat Carlton, the Cats by 47 at Taxpayer Park, then Sydney by 39 at the SCG. We are without Brayshaw, Trac and a fully fit Olly and Gawn and are rebuilding on the run. And that was no capitulation. We were outclassed but it was fought out and we upped our pressure in the second half.

I went, and suffered your condition after I watched the replay and saw the shove in the back on May that gave them their second last quarter goal.

Please explain.

You can tell him it is paid for overwhelmingly by the MCC members.

Flattered by the scoreline. Terrible performance with finals berth in prospect.

Truly, who gives a rat's about Heeney? Or the Brownlow? Rubbish award decided by some of the most incompetent clowns connected to the game.

Correct.

Even Bomber fans are saying it. (From bomberblitz.com:) Umpires gave us 3 goals when the game was truly over Disgraceful evening up I have ever seen- umpire no 22 take a bow

Complete lack of last quarter heroics from the Pies. Suck it up McCrae, you [censored].

Geelong making the MFC forward line look efficient. Just weak. Dropped marks and missed chances galore.

Worst selection news is Andrew Stephens (umpire number 12). I'll say it now, before the bounce, an utter donkey. (Sorry quadrupeds.)

Actually, although they are laying off journalists, news is one of the few areas FTA tv has an advantage. Drama production is non-existent, unless you count H & Away and Neighbours. News and games shows and sport is pretty much all they have. There's a big query over whether we need three commercial FTA networks. The answer is probably that only one can stay healthy. As for sport, unless the Fed Government extends anti-siphoning rules, and it does not appear so, it's going behind a paywall.

You inspired me to check. Cyril 189 games for 275 goals, or 1.45 goals per game; Kozzie 99 games for 150 goals represents 1.51 goals per game. Impressive. And special.

My first thought is that it will need to be Fullarton for Max. Petty is too fragile to ruck all day.

I don't want to go full demonland and whinge about a big win because: 1: we showed great skill in ball movement during an at times clinical exhibition; 2: JVR was great (but for some odd misses); 3: the Kolt was also terrific; 4: we tackled strongly early in setting up our domination and ran the game out sans Max; 5: Melky looked primed and added to his goal tally; 6: Kozzie took that speccy he's been chasing for five years; 7: the kid Wilson was back to form...buuuuut, WE SHOUDA WON BY 80 POINTS BUT FOR SOME LOUSY DELIBERATE SHOTS!!!! (And we owed them.)

And if you can't ask Robbo directly, then have a read of page 184 of Between The Flags where Robbo describes leading to Ooze and Trapper.

Was at the G.

And any commentator or reporter who objects finds work hard to come by. Richo is the only one to comment and even then it's just a raised eyebrow. Where's Whateley's outrage when this [censored] happens?

Bitterly disappointing. We played brilliantly at times and almost got it done. Me, I'm done with the Petty as a forward option. I was for the idea when there was no-one else, when Brown and Tmac both looked done but it is now killing us. Some misses - great torp - I could forgive but the third quarter routine shot drifting away did it. It really is not that hard and we know TMac can do it, so Petty back and TMac forward...pleeeeaaase. Turner is coming on really well and looks like a cool head in front of goal, that jittery miss on KB aside. Petty should take note and probably has tried to, but no, it's done. Love ya Harry but go back where you belong. and I don't mean South Australia. The compensation, cool light of the morning thought is that if we replicate that attack on the ball and that team running for the next two months we can still make the eight and maybe get another crack at those tossers at the Gabba. If not, well, we are going to put some quality time into the next generation who, I thought, all stood up really well. Kolt in particular looks so ready for the contest and AMW was silky and cool. Turner, Woey did their bit, but Brown was treated badly. Fresh legs from late in the third term would have been handy. Rivers is looking more and more at home in the middle and let's be excited for Clarry. What a comeback! The umpires were a disgrace and should be spoken to, but won't be. I honestly thought they treated us with a lack of respect early, as if they thought the anticipated thrashing was on and they were going to get on board and add to the momentum like their pals last week against North. They cost us two goals. I'd need to see the Rivers' run on GPS to be convinced he went too far. I can't remember the last time I saw that penalty. Maybe he deserved it, but I counted 13 steps which is usually considered OK. That decision hurt as did the overturned May mark on the wing that resulted in a goal. I liked May's comment to the "senior umpire" whose conscience should trouble him, but won't. So the umpires were rubbish but that's par: we had our chances and failed to nail them. Langdon I never expected to kick accurately for goal because he rarely does. It's the only knock on his game. He and Petty should be embarrassed this morning but it's always been a game of mistakes. Bright side: we're (on the way) back!

The fool doesn't know there is no throttle on the left wrist. D*&^head.
