Do Geelong supporters cringe?

I wouldn't be surprised if Geelong trained for frees.
Many of their players seem to have really effective and consistent techniques for accentuating both real and perceived illegal contact.

It's an absolute disgrace. Ablett getting b/s 50s but same thing happening to Aker and it's play on. Biggest disgrace so far was Bartel deliberately tripping up Higgins being called play on. Incredible.

Looks like Ling has a free pass to hold Cooney's jumper. Bizarre.

Even their d graders like David Johnson are pretty good at staging.

And now the collapso-knees/fall to the ground routine are used to draw the 50 after disposal of the ball. Ablett is the maestro here.
I'm watching the game now on 7 and am dead set disgusted ... (and I really don't care for the Doggies either TBH) but fair go, the Corio pets are getting all the calls, esp in front of goal.
This is the biggest cruxifiction since Roman times ...

Methinks this is something of a rhetorical question... kinda like - does Ross Oakley sleep in a coffin? 
Now there's a quality quip, and THEN some!

There's one umpire in particular. Number 5. The one who paid the cheapest free of all time to Chapman in the first quarter. Wish Franklin got those ones, would kick 10 every week.
Watching it on TV now (please no SPOILERS everyone) on delayed telecast, the Dogs would be in front if it wasn't for the umpires, make no mistake.
I love this sort of stuff.
Geelong not kicking these goals does not make it the same game minus the goals you do not like. The whole game will have changed and you can not say who would be winning or not.
Who is to say that is one of those goals had not been kicked that Geelong would have gone on to kick the next 7 goals strait.
The Akermanis hold against Ablett for a 50 metre penalty was an utter joke. This is not the NBA.
It was quite telling to hear the commentators umm and ahh over that one...

Have you ever posted without writing at least one comment in brackets?
Who is to say that if Geelong wasnt gifted goals the Bulldogs might have kicked the next 10 straight.
I am not saying one way or the other just that you can not say if so and so did not do this the team would have won.

Does this mean the AFL will bring in penalties to players who stage for frees next year?
They sought to punish Hawthorn for rushing behinds during the grand final by changing the rules, perhaps it's Geelong's turn to be the victim.

Great vdeo. Is that an ad for something?
And I always think of that watching Geelong. I certainly don't begrudge them their success, because they're easily the most skillful side, but, like most of the best soccer teams, they're also a bunch of thespians.
I hear they got Russell Crowe in to give them a few pointers over the pre-season. Anyone know if there's any truth to this?
