The clock is not relevant on the Tele. The game ends when the umpire hears the siren and signals as such. The umpire and players all heard the siren a split second before the ball went over the line, and clearly before the Bounday Ump signalled out of bounds. The Field Ump consequently had no option but to end the game with no further decisons needed. The Boundary Signal initiates the 'deliberate' not just after the ball has been kicked with intent. Ball has to cross the line to become a deliberate. Correct decision and kudos to all officials involved. Pity about the Nuffy commentators - Cam Mooney and Daisy Thomas - feeding into the confusion. Stick to special comments and gambling promotion boys. It suits you more. Huge kudos to Clarkson and Lyon though.

I watched the last 5 minutes and the post match handshaking with the sound off. Try it. To the unaware, you would think the Dees won and the Lions lost. And Fages was furious. Part of us will still be in his head. Fages is upset for sure but many reasons caused the turnaround and the Lions copped a huge advantage when Max when down., and I'm hoping the team parks this result and mentally moves on.

Nice one.

Top post. Daniher kicking 5 was outrageous, and will never happen again. The team's head space when Max went down would have been difficult for Goody to manage. We have leaders all over the ground and will bounce next week. Saved a big % hit. Move on.

Very Good point, but the passenger is a demon tragic like all of us in the true sense of the word and has 60 years of following us. Saved every penny for the trip. It has been the highlight so far appaarently. Never been skiing though and drives a beat up holden.

Grateful the list build is in the hands of people like Taylor and Lamb in these occasions, recognising our achilles heel (one of them) in ruck stocks. Now with Schache we can at least have a form of solution. Heartfelt thoughts to Max at this time . A wonderful leader.

I think this is relevant to the topic. Last week, a Dees tragic on way to Europe on Cunard's Queen Victoria, mid- Indian Ocean, sat back in a lounge on board and watched a live stream of the match.

Clever. Well done McQ !!

I attended the Gabba Rnd 23 match last year in amongst Lions faithful in a dining area . Many Lions fans giving it to Hipwood and many don't rate him either.

Missed that but I suspect it was genuine tears of relief. They lose last night and the media drums on Voss' less than average coaching would have kicked in. Credit to Cameron who carried the cats last night. Lucky to have him. Last week proved to me the Dees have a defensive system that works (missing May and Salem yet got the job done), whereas Cats rely on actual stars like Stweart and henry. Too early to write cats off but they look a shadow at the moment, and Blues ? Not sure yet. Blues vs Dees and/or Pies will tell.

On sen thismorning garry and tim discussed a stat thelooks at all players over the past 7 years that have played 100 games plus in that period. Hipwood was rated last of a big list. They discussed moving him to defence as he ain't a forward

Correct. If he gets more than a week it will be on potential. Another kettle of fish altogether Laughable if that happens. e.g. let's jail this bloke for 10 years., he looks like he might rob a bank.????

Two things(amognst many others) I liked: 1. The Dees fans drowning out the pathetic and unwarranted booing of Lachie Hunter, then we boo Oscer Baker. Also unfair but still hilarious. 2. Who noticed the background of Brody Grundy's post match interview on Kayo showing Clarry (shirtless) and Yze have clearly an in depth discussion in the rooms behing Brody. I thought how lucky are we to have those two.

Nailed it. Has to be the strategy given the starting 22.

Love the optimisim, but I'm sitting here staring at the team line-up just announced and heroic will be the word for sure defensive-wise if we get up. It won't be for lack of trying though. Trac and Clarrie will see to that.

Not in the slighest. This issue, along with the Dees fans and snow season jibes really annoy me. I am putting it down to my current Steven May-induced stress levels for Saturday night. It will be bad, or an heroic win for the ages. I can't decide which. I'll know at the 5 minute mark of the first 1/4. Keep up the good work WCW

What's Pesnion Day got to do with it. Many , many Pensioners can't afford to got to the AFL. I'm serious and its a disgrace.

RE: Steven May possibly missing, prompts a possible screaming headline for the Hun on Monday if the dees get up. " May-Less Dees defence take care of Bevo's four talls - new Drawing Board ordered at kennel"

Great memory. That comment by her was typical. Some people just don't know when to hive it away

Alternate view could be she is priming herself to stick in the boots if we fail to win the flag.

This was the flakiest bit of all from the Survey. The fact that 2 skippers think the Swans AND Dees miss the 8, AND another thinks the Cats will. As Ricky Gervais would say, "... are you having a laugh..." Just who is out their playing AFL footy with these opinions. Not Maxy at least. He can't vote for himself or his team.

I lodged a written 'please expalin' to the Kardinia Park Stadium Trust. Their response was : "... ".....Thank you for your email. We appreciate your feedback and understand your frustration over the variance in parking fees for member and non-members. We will include your concerns in our discussions with the Geelong Football Club in preparation for the 2023 ALF season, as they are the event organiser for AFL match days and determine the parking fees. The Trust does not make any income from the parking fees collected on ALF game days. @GFC Memberships can you please pass onto your event management team. Please reach out if you have any further concerns. kind regards....." Thus the GFC as the Event Organiser under the Kardinia Park Stadium's delegation by their Act can charge whatever they like. And our extra $5 is a direct donation to Paddy's contract fees Given the elitist nature of the Cats re: pricing out ordinary folk I expect no change. Direct action on Game day with media present and/or absolute boycott of the Crown Land carparks by parking in surrounding streets will probablay be most effective way of addressing this. First cats home game is 22 April. Worth a check then if anyone is in the vicinity.

Good call re Dunkley. Dogs 2022 Best and Fairest won by 20 votes from second. Must have an impact on midfield quality that we seem to be ignoring.

Gerard Healy commented in hte first 1/4 on Goody playing young Judd McVee on Dusty, giving him a tatste of the big time . Did well , lost the odd one-on-one but great test McVee passed well IMO

A common theme in the Stan doco 'Show me the money 2' , is that agents believe players first want to get a game, then play in successful teams, then money. I suspect this is true and will drive Kozzie. He'll always get a game anywhere, so where is his success trajectory. Dees have that covered too. Just hoping. But do we now hope for a Power implosion in the first few rounds, Koschy gets involeved and shoots his mouth off, Ken feels the heat, and Kozzie sees where the green grass is - @ the G.???? Not Adelaide oval. I think Luke's call was different, but he believed Freo showed something so it may be not too bad he thinks. - he hopes.
