Finals, Week 1 - Geelong vs. Western Bulldogs

[jerry springer]

How soft has Robert Murphy's game been so far?

seems to always get injured in big games

 

[swanny11]

27 points - not out of it. id hate to see these three cracking matches turn into fizzers though.

alright, what's the attendance gonna be?
my guess: 66,701

 

[angel_mmkay]

a couple more goals wouldnt go astray!!!

I wouldn't worry to much Doggies supporter, for all the Cats dominance and bias umpiring they are only 27 pts down, Geelong aren't putting side away like they used to. It will go down to the wire again as the dogs should the fitness to run over them like the last 2 times they have played.

They have only beat us once this year

yes, bias umpiring. haha. as though somehow the umpires out there are being "bias". like they have a hidden agenda against the dogs. i dunno, maybe you're trying to say something different.

Why the hell do Geelong play Stokes as atall forward. The number of times they kick it high to him is ridiculous.

anyway thigns are ok at the moment. Need to get some goals to kill them off

go cats

 

[Hawks1523]

After some end to end stuff without scores Hill kicks one for the Dogs.

47 - 26

 

[jerry springer]

Gary should of put his body on the line back there on the wing.Definatly pulled out of the contest

 

[Seth0205]

They have only beat us once this year

One win the other they just lost after coming from a fair bit down. they didn't win but they other than Johnsons miss they ran all over the Cats in both the second halves.

 

[jerry springer]

that was a rain-maker of a kick

This game is just reinforcing that the Grand final should be St Kilda Vs Collingwood. 2 pretty awful sides... the Bulldogs who are short people and aren't up to it.. Vs Geelong who's best years are behind them and on the slide.

 

[Hawks1523]

Mark Blake.. shoulda given the hands.

Bias might not be the right word but every 50/50 decision is going the Cats way, also the consistency is really poor (although thats not exclusive to this game)

This isn't over, flogs.

As long as the Saints win by 50+ pts. I hate the Pies as much as I love the Roos! I couldn't stand a yr of Eddie AFL gloating!

well thats a little harsh

 

[Seth0205]

This isn't over, flogs.

The Dogs by 15 pt, the tide has swung and the Cats look tired and flat already!

 

[The Sloane Ranger]

poor 2nd term by the cats,, skils were ordinary

 

[Hawks1523]

This isn't over, flogs.

The way you were playing 20 minutes ago it was looking close. Have had a very good second quarter.

 

[Cousin Jed]

Dogs need to put all this dominance on the scoreboard

 

[mcuzzy]

I hope the doggies come back, I want it to be more exciting.

Ablett gets first kick for the quarter. ergh

yeh wasn't giving you stick, i just think people that have this rock solid belief that umpires go out there and have a bias to a particular team is plain nonsense. they just make awful calls sometimes ie, adam mcphee taking the ball over the boundary line against the swans in 07 - makes me want to vomit. haha.

 

[wolvesjr34]

Dogs seem a little off colour, not sure they are built for finals football. Really hope I am wrong.

Geelong's experience looks to hold them in good stead.

Cats clearly on top, but Dogs getting r*ped by rubbish umpiring.
