Game Day Geelong Cats v Carlton, Round 23 - 16:35 AEST, Aug 24, 2019

Selwood tripping himself to dive before Casboult arrived was pure art

Should've been goal

Field Umpire shouldn't be able to overrule the goal umpire. What's the point of a goal Umpire if a field umpire can overrule them?

What a joke

And Carlton supporters were bagging out the Saints today.

At least the Blues are showing some ticker and haven't thrown in the towel.

That would be true on any day

 

[Chief]

Nice goal

 

[Black Child]

They aren't top 2 lock, no way they are winning interstate vs West coast if they didn't win today that's where they were headed.

Playing for top spot sorry

MCG is interstate to them.

 

[Sauras]

Poor old goal umpire got stitched up by the field. Made an absolute correct call only for the knowitall to waltz in and say otherwise

 

[Chief]

Lol Cripps tackling 2 at once.

Both had poor performances but I'll take 7 goals down against a top 2 side > 8 goal loss against a team that's finished in the bottom 4

 

[davis_756]

Would you look at that! The team with the breeze has dominated every quarter so far, I for one am shocked to be sitting here witnessing this! Truly amazing

 

[jooce8891]

lol @ the dumb campaigners in this thread bagging us, geelong have top 2 - top 4 to play for, carlton have what to play for??? literally nothing, getting ****ing reamed by umpires and everything including the wind is going against us...

 

[davis_756]

They will lose against the tigers anyway, but at least some of their fans will get to see it.

 

[Jhye Clark 13]

Get your hand off it. They are a poor team and Geelong is doing exactly what was expected.

Lol. If that was the case the optimism towards Carlton in this game wouldn't have been so high from both this site and the media.

Oh dear.

The umpires have actually favoured Carlton.

Ignore anyone who complains about umpires.

I'm not sure there's been favoritism either way. Just a couple of head scratchers. It is hilarious though blaming umpires when their side is phoning in an effort like this.

 

[Jhye Clark 13]

Yes Geelong sure was written off. No-one gave the top 4 team fighting for a home final a chance against the bottom 4 side. Winning this match will be a real life sporting fairy tale

Did you feel like the bigger man now because you called me big fella? Mental pigmy type stuff lol

You were never losing it because you actually have more to play for, the double 5 goal breeze made sure there wasn't going to be any upset here.

Not what 60% of BF poll results said on the way mate. The post-hoc fatalism is a bit symptomatic of a wider problem

I don't bash umpires but Carlton have had the rub which is why it's funny.

The optimism has nothing to do with you guys losing 5 of your last 10 only showing up every 2nd week though did it?

 

[HairyO]

Lol. If that was the case the optimism towards Carlton in this game wouldn't have been so high from both this site and the media.

Thats why Carlton had a 30 point head start from the bookies.

Hawthorn is 28 points over West Coast.

In other words, we are more likely to win. Has the optimism been high for us?

Pretty sure all 15 AFL media people tipped West Coast and all 15 AFL media people tipped Geelong.

That proves you have no fans, nothing more or less.

Most dominant 4 point quarter I’ve ever seen

I don't have a preview thread. Really wish you told me earlier that Geelong were considered such a long shot in this match, I'd have put a bet down on them
