Just calling it as I see it, and many agree, and many won't. As I said however, I have no issue with Dangerfield or the decision. I just have an issue with the rule.

Didnt get to watch the game. Can someone sum it up in a couple of sentances?
No - the whining Cats culture that has been a large part of them winning **** all despite loading up on Danger and Ablett and unearthing gems like Stewart, Kelly and Henry.
Hopefully you'll sack your Coach, ditch Selwood and Ablett, and give these young guns a fresh culture to develop of their own, free of the sooking mantra that's infected your club since 2012.
But maybe you're happy being par with Hawthorn who have come off 3 flags and a list turnover and yet are still par with you at this stage of the season?

The last 30secs of this match back in 2013 says otherwise.
If anything our last passage of play tonight reminded me of that brilliant passage of play by Brisbane that night!
Tonight gives me an excuses to post it! Perfection!
Usually, not always. And this is usually what Geelong do.

You guys have made whining an art form.
Doesnt your coach have a weekly whine coffee session with the AFL CEO to complain about free kicks against poor Hawthorn?

I don't have a complaint about that free but I do agree that Danger never had any real intention of competing in the ruck, it was just smart play by him.

That would be a pretty big risk to take from Dangerfield. If an opponent doesn't seek you out to block your path, as Brayshaw did, it's an uncontested hitout for Gawn and probably an immediate rebound from the defensive 50 for Melbourne.
Dangerfield nominates for the ruck contest numerous times every game. There's no way Melbourne wouldn't have been aware that it happens in games and been prepared for it. He's the nominated ruckman and, I'm sorry, any ruckman would act exactly the same way Dangerfield would in that instance, when they're preparing to go up and an opposition player blocks them illegally.
No question it's a shithouse rule and it should either be removed or significantly refined (e.g teams have two regular ruckmen before the game and if anyone else in the team nominates as ruckman at a given ball up, the umpire makes sure it is absolutely clear), but I don't see much of an issue with the interpretation.
I just laugh thinking about the response on here if the shoe was on the other foot and Scott had made the comments that Goodwin did? Or if Melbourne had won whether there would have been much scrutiny on the outrageous non-call for front on contact to Menzel by Jetta in time on in the fourth quarter?

Came out of nowhere? It was discussed ad nauseum for over a year before change instituted.

The umpire was calling for a nomination, no one else was putting their hand up. I don't know how you can say that really. It's not like he's never nominated before?

I dont understand why anyone is complaining about the Dangerfield free. Clear as day.
Although I love that Bernie asks whether its because its Dangerfield.
On that occasion, no, but usually yes!
Unfortunately Bernie wont get a job post-footy. But he is the kind of guy that should!

Interesting opinion. The rule is the rule and it was clearly broken by Brayshaw. Conversation about feigning seems ridiculous; he went to move to ruck, Brayshaw blocked him and he was smart enough to know the situation and appeal for the free kick that was blatantly there. Seems like one guy has pretty good footy iq.

On here? Only been on here for about three months to try to give myself an outlet instead of punching walls (ha) but if you are taking all your football information and conversation from here, you are missing some important discussion (you may have noticed, it can be a little extreme in here and not exactly the overall consensus)

Does he? Doesn’t have a single hitout to his name this year
Danger was smart. Knew what he was doing.

Classic Hawkforce. I can’t understand the Hawks fans hatred of Geelong on here. Sure, we won a lot of games against you in the last eight years or so, but you’ve done okay in that time, beaten us in a key final or two. Although, you may be feeling a little on edge at present, giving your loss to Lions last week (home deck, I believe) and heading into a ‘danger’ game against the Blues today. Best of luck! Watch out for the boy Kripps, seems to be quite a player

True. By which, we infer ‘Brayshaw’ was not smart? So why is coach not chatting to his player instead of whinging
Its great stuff

Woke up madder than last week after our loss to Brisbane. Has the hatred of Geelong manifested itself to override the love of Hawthorn? 
.
Probably not. But considering the amount of after-the-siren victories the Cats have enjoyed over the last decade, it was just so brilliant what happened a few weeks ago against the Dogs. Now it feels like that doesn't matter anymore.
Oh well, at least us of the brown and gold got to enjoy Sydney losing to the Suns yesterday
