Review Geelong defeats Lions by 1 point - Rd 2, 2021

[Keays2myBeamas]

Why was the game 80% umpiring, 20% footballing? Who wants that in a sport?

 

[frggr]

Jeez, how much did u guys pay the umps for that disgraceful hometown biased robbery ? be some nice brown paper bags with a bundle of cash in the umps room no doubt. Unreal.

Mods, please don't ban these clowns. They're entertaining

 

[dazbroncos]

Mods are going to busy in the morning deleting all the brave salty posts that will be posted when everyone is asleep

The best part about those posts is applying the bans a day later and then have no recollection oof why they get banned.

GO Catters

 

[Boxhead_31]

Trying to work out of opposition fans are saltier when we lose or when we win

Chief could do a deal with Saxa to collect the salt from our matchday threads on the Main Board

By geez the football gods were looking down on us tonight... Brisbane did everything to lose it - Blicavs was caught dead and should have had holding the ball against him. He always does the same thing lol - panic spin and gets caught.

Not as much as Collingwood is paying for Treloar to play at the Doggies.

You're right; I watched the first quarter and the last 8 minutes. All I know is the umps went on an absolute tear the last 7 minutes giving you guys absolutely everything, and, then robbed the Lions of the most obvious free kick of all time. Looking at the replay just now though the ump was too far away and on the boundry. Should have been one on the open side to call that.

If it'd been the other way, you'd be going off your head right now. I'm just a neutral calling it like I see it.
Evening.

Cleary you are reacting to the last minute of play, lions got about 4 goals from free kicks

That's why you keep your home ground Lexus boys. Don't turn your back on your history

 

[maryjames]

Another easy win for the cats.

Keep em coming

 

[Tristan34]

Go blitz!!! Pay that umpire back in the change rooms... Take one for the team...

 

[Keays2myBeamas]

But the commentators said he just "scooped it on the up" - so clearly not a throw! /s

Maybe because we don’t actively throw 60% of the time?

Not me! I agree with you - umpiring decided it in the end and decided it by keeping Brisbane in the game early.

Disgraceful all 'round

 

[thecatattack]

The Lions won, but you got the 4 points.

They’re 0-2. Doesn’t look like they won.

True luckily we have room in our salary cap to pay them ...lucky us

 

[bellpark]

Agree on dropping Dahlhaus. Real questions on Clarke I reckon - poor decision making and gets caught a lot - looked slow last week and got caught tonight playing on. Not convinced at all.

Oh, I was giving you the benefit of the doubt before. Damn, man, don't make me regret it

Well good for you, neutral what rubbish. No-one is neutral in football

 

[cats_09]

Meh they want to come in here with the salt they can get the reaction...it’s been deleted anyway

fu** them

I strongly suggest taking the advice offered - if you decide to engage with them or bait them, then it may not be just them in trouble

If you feel an opposition poster is trolling then report the post and don't engage

 

[PzBlinky]

Not that I want to go on and on about the umpiring, but man - what's with the rabid focus of the media (and main board) over that missed free? Yes, it was a big mistake... but what about the other 10-15+ mistakes from the umpires over the course of the game?

Cant help you here but you got plenty of traction from it and we got payback at the end.

Go Catters

 

[Boxhead_31]

Has Scott said how many weeks Duncan, Menegola and Cameron are away from returning? Could use a few names back.

Cameron is still another week away

 

[Overhang]

But the commentators said he just "scooped it on the up" - so clearly not a throw! /s

I was waiting for the outraged interjection by BT with a "BOYYYY WOWWWEEE THAT WAS A THROWWWW" but then I remembered he was supporting Brisbane all night

Duncan playing VFL tomorrow, apparently Cameron is an possibility for Easter Monday

Not sure on Menegola

Didn’t watch too hard tonight did you ?

 

[bulletproof]

As a club and as fans, we have been extremely well served by Joel Selwood and Tom Hawkins

. We should be thankful for how much joy these guys have given us over a dozen years. I am not exclusively about Flags, I cherish the weekly win and man they have carried us to a few. That was a memorable performance from those two.
