wtf, geelong are being gifted goals and free kicks as they request them. umpire asked vareko if he wants the free kick or the point? Whose decision is this anyway?
Cheating yellow maggot umpires.
meanwhile ablett gets 50m penalty for playing on, and bearded fuckwit on the oter wing is allowed to argue with the umpire for a full minute without penalty. think the outcome of the game is already decided, with geelong requesting a specific scoreline at each interval during the match.

rooke. mooney isnt a threat when he gets the ball unless you are in the crowd on one of the flanks when he shoots at goal.
Really annoyed at the umpring this match, it seems the 15 metre kick rule and play on from mark rules are only applied when its in geelongs favour, its almost as if they are untouchable.
For the record, Im a bombers fan.
suck shit geelong you cheating cunts. umpires even attempted to steal a last minute run with a bizzare free against milne. how the fuck he was not given a free there is beyond me.
geelong shuld have gone into the first break with two points on the board, and probably had about 5 goals total gifted to them through obscenely generous umpiring.

Yeeeeeessssssssssssss!!
Yes yes yes yes yes yes
YES!
All the damn hype was worth it. Worth it!
Bloody outstanding game. Best game I have ever seen. Gardiner's mark was remarkable and Hayes had a blinder of a final quarter.
14-0... Who would have thought! Just don't lose to West Coast next week!

Best game I've seen all season.
Let's not get carried away now.

Not even close, that was a free for a push in the back. Soft, but technically true.
Meanwhile holding the ball decisions against the saints were given when they held the ball out for their teammate to pick out of their hands when under pressure, yet in the 3rd quarter, abblett rolls over for a belly rub and holds it up whilst being tackled, no penalty.
Cats have clearly got the umpires favour, and it made the game 5 goals closer than it should have been.
I'm neither a saints fan nor anti-cats (thomspon was my favourite bombers player back in his day) but the blatant bias of the umpires is disgusting.
I dont think its the start of a new era, but hopefully its the end of the geelong era.
Its still waaaaay too open to call it now. I would actually predict the Bulldogs to win the flag if pushed now, I think they are the real deal. A great GF would be a Saints-Doggies final, but I think that would be unfair as both those teams have not won a premiership in too long.
Adelaide, Brisbane and Collingwood can also not be ruled out either. Essendon/Port/Carlton/Sydney are fighting out for 7th and 8th. But Essendon and Carlton are two teams on the up, Port and Sydney are still on the way down or in a holding pattern.

The game had me fucking panicked in the last minute. I was literally stuck in this weird sitting/standing position as if I was on the edge of my seat without actually touching it. And yes the umpiring was fucking atrocious.
And yes, poor Robbie Harvey

What part of the Brennan report bothers you?
The assessment was...
Intent: Intentional (3 points)
Impact: Medium (2 points)
Contact: High. (2 points)
That is 7 activation points = 325 demerit points.
Thats a 3 week suspension. Brennan has never been reported before which gives him a 25 percent discount and as with all players with a good record is entitled to a further 25 percent discount for an early plea which brings it to 182.81 points.
The charge was 3 weeks. Not 1. And its only his good behavior which allowed his sentence to be reduced.
Chaplin's charge was 2 weeks, and if he didnt have a pre-existing bad record, he would have only got 1.
MRP can only do it by the book, which is what they did.
Brennan now has 82 carryover points hanging over him, so he only needs to sneeze and he cops another week.
fisheyes said:
Well yeah, technically he did get 3 weeks for it. They can't just change the good behavior clauses and early plea rules for one case.
Its not perfect, but at least its quantifiable. The old system, in which the tribunal had the latitude to use their own discretion was even worse. The inconsistencies were atrocious and subject to claims of extreme bias.
Regardless, judging by the reaction of Carr and the Port trainer, they were quite happy with the situation. Trade a bit of blood for a free shot on goal. I think Port fans should be reasonably happy.
Chaplin's report should be thrown out. He was going for the ball and once you've jumped into the air there isn't much you can do other than brace for impact, which he did. There was nothing malicious in the bump, just two courageous people going for the ball. Free kick maybe I dunno, but a report? Definitely not.

Clearly.
But I WAS looking pretty right in the first quarter.
Glad I was right baout the Pies easily accounting for Essendon. Bulldogs will be next on the chopping block.
I reckon Collingwood by about 7 goals. It's the Hawthorn game I'm more worried about, despite their form. I'm sure Collingwood will be the game they 'find form' in.
Hawthorn LOVES playing Collingwood.
