Review Geelong beat tiggers by 3 points

[you pick one]

With the 4 points in the pocket I will wear what ever he gets and thank them for the enforced rest.

 

[catstorm]

It'll go to the Tribunal because a) it'll be classified as 'severe' and b) they'll want to make an example of him.

I feel like I’m talking to a bot right now, are you for real?

 

[Cataholic]

I thought he kept his elbow tucked in which might be the difference in a high / severe grading.
But if it goes to the tribunal it's up in the air as the grading goes out the window I guess. So who knows

No elbow, but contact was made with the head.

 

[The_Todd07]

Makes no sense it’s clearly intentional High High 3 weeks. There is no argument it could be severe, but the Geelong penalty always adds an extra week or two to our suspensions. Whenever it’s time to make an example it always seems to be a Geelong player.

It could be argued that it wasn't intentional
Tom went to bump him which is legal but stuffed it up
He didn't raise the elbow, he kept it tucked in and it only move on contact because Physics.

They may try to call it severe force but I think he just flushed him in the perfect spot. Couple of cm and he might bounce back up

But in the end, unless it's an unnecessarily severe punishment, I'm happy to go with whatever they come up with

 

[Cataholic]

I feel like I’m talking to a bot right now, are you for real?

Um, yes?

 

[Tackle_happy]

He will be lucky if he only gets 4 weeks, they are coming after Stewart for this

Yeah but that seems like a common theme with the media in regards to Geelong and suspensions.

He deserves what he gets. If he is of the right mettle then he will show why he is the next captain of the club.

 

[Romeoh1]

Just home from the G. What a great game of footy. Happy with that. Go Cats.

 

[PhatBoy]

I’m on the Atkins train now. Thought he was one of the few who stood up when we didn’t have the game on our terms. Thought Guthrie while his influence was lessened during that time, was massive as well

 

[Tackle_happy]

I think he'll get 1 week, because he's a nice bloke.

Geez watch the world melt if that happened.

 

[Vdubs]

Even from a Geelong supporters standpoint, I feel the same way. We won over an hour ago and I still don’t feel an ounce of happiness over what was arguably Chris Scott’s best win as coach excluding the 2011 grand final.

We didn’t lose I know but the thing is I can handle losing. What pissed me off tonight was the fact that we play these ‘home’ games away to a genuine home team when we’d have belted them at home. Football is no good for my mental health at this point because we are so badly disadvantaged. The only team in world sport. This sport means a lot to me and my interest has never waned yet I’m finding myself wondering whether to walk away entirely.

I don’t know how much longer I can do this because it’s bringing me down (factoring in with more important real life issues) to the point where I want to ring Lifeline.

I know several supporters who feel as strongly as you do about playing "home" games against teams like Richmond. We need to be 5 goals better to get a break given their feral Tiger roar at every opportunity.

 

[Romeoh1]

Stewart will get 3 weeks. He earned it- brain fade. What a good game he played, apart from that!

 

[catstorm]

Um, yes?

Read through what I said. I clearly said that I knew the AFL would send it to the tribunal but they were wrong to do so. Your response was they will send it to the tribunal because a and b, which are things I already mentioned myself.

bump on Nat Fyfe last year. 2 weeks. It's kinda similar.

My apology if I've crossed wires.

A and B are, I believe, why they believe they'll be right to send it to the Tribunal.

Anyhow, it'll be what it'll be.

 

[Stokey]

The media are all singing from the same 4 - 6 week hmyn book for Stewart it seems

4-6!? Tell 'em they're dreaming.

 

[CatsDoItBetter]

Who played on Jack Riewoldt and kept him scoreless?

Have you watched Jack play recently? Who gives the ball to the opposition week after week?

 

[Cataholic]

4-6!? Tell 'em they're dreaming.

It'll be interesting.

 

[petrolium]

Honestly Richmond were off the chain, unbelievable pressure and so many scenarios where there wasn't much Geelong could do, they just ping the ball around and it all comes off.

I think the worst thing you can do when Richmond are on is try and defend and stop it, it's undefendable, when we decided to play more aggressive rather than defend, ran forward and assumed we would win the contest, then the game turned back our way.

Was it worse than Dasher on SOS?
Yes, I know times have changed (for the better)
Dasher got 3 for that.

 

[Vdubs]

Poor guy must be all knocked out from the game

very good

Dashers was worse! Was at that game- it sure got the Carlton crowd going.

 

[Vdubs]

Dashers was worse!

No doubt; hard hip to the head. That would now get 4-5 weeks I'd guess

 

[Phipppppa]

Great game. Easily best match of the season so far.

Atmosphere electric. Went there live.

new forward.

Tommy Stew great, but will cop a little holiday.

Atkins, DK, Jezza strong again.

Best game I’ve seen Miers play in a while.

O’Connor and Kolo appalling.

They may throw in a Hawkins Jumper Punch and give him one too ( for old times sake )

 

[year of the cat]

Just a ripper of a game to be at. Finals like atmosphere. A great contest by a couple of handy teams. That’s the reason you still want to go to the footy - to hopefully see a game like that.
