Typical CFL and looking after the Geelong boys. Should’ve been a 2-3 week penalty to begin with. Looked shocking in real time the way Walsh’s head hit the ground
I reckon the past couple of years they have been fudging the crowd figures. I reckon they now count tickets sold/given away as opposed to actual people going.
Makes me sick seeing the free kicks these oppo teams get that we don’t. Also seeing the umps letting things go, where we get penalised for it.
E.g Fyfe caught HTB and leaves the footy on the ground and doesn’t get called 50
No guarantees they will be a great side anytime soon. They have some very good players but no out and out stars imo. Their effort has always been flakey and I don’t think that will change soon, even under Dimma
Looking at that list, no coincidence 4/5 frees for are the clubs with the current longest premiership droughts bar freo who have never won one. You can’t say this is all coincidence
I believe it’s slowly getting more and more obvious each year though. It seems year on year there are more clear examples of match fixing going on through the umpiring. Look at Adelaide last year with the goal review, us v bears etc
Ironically for all of the talk over the years of Dusty leaving by the media and all that, he is the one main pillar of our dynasty that is still here and will be for a while.
The CFL would have drafted this up over summer. That is their 2024 payday. Blooze winning would be a cash bonanza. Not an accident they are winning all these close games.
The problem is we get umpired to the letter of the law, which no other club does. On the other side, teams have a free rein to do what they want against us. It’s never consistent and it is making the game unenjoyable.
