Geelong v Fremantle, Rnd 19 2014 @ Simonds Stadium 7.40pm

[Gavin Excell]

Because Geelong had a lead that they probably shouldn't have had?

Geelong got away with ducking a ludicrous amount tonight

Yes of course

 

[Baby Duck]

Maybe, just maybe it helped engineer a 24 point lead. I'm not quite sure, but that may have effected the final result. I'm not to certain, would you please lend me your expert opinion?

I'd say it had more to do with the better all round football we played, and the fact your muppet coach once again encouraged your players to play the man and not the ball.

 

[footyfix]

Luckily no-one gives a **** about your honest opinion....

No but I'll bet they all agree.

 

[SuperSub17]

your tears are a little more salty than what I expected.

Have a cry now, let it all out, there there....

Is that all that you've got?

Why would I be crying? I don't support Freo. But I wanted to see a good, fair game and it was ruined by disgraceful one-sided officiating.

 

[TheHoneyBadger]

Interstate teams will continue to be screwed by Victorian umpires. Happened in the Grand Final last year and in the preliminary in 2012. As for tonight ----------------!!! Really neutral umpires should be appointed for the finals.

Yeah, we must still be playing in the VFL, hey

Have you ever watched a West Coast, Sydney or Adelaide home game without your rose coloured glasses on?

and it was ruined by disgraceful one-sided officiating.

too bad, we won and you got an ugly game

 

[ilikepotatoes]

Like a broken record aren't you? Your repetitive, autistic nonsense is getting sooooo damn old dude.

I'm asking for your expert opinion, I don't see how that requires a personal insult.

 

[Hodgepodge]

We are playing more kids than last year

Try again

That doesn't mean rebuilding. It just means playing more kids than last year. LOL.


Geelong regularly play about the oldest 22 week in week out.

Exactly all teams get the rub of the green at home, be it in SA-VIC or WA.

That one wasn't directed at you mate.

You really need to understand what a rebuild is

 

[Natho]

Oh well. After tonight it looks like its only the Swans and the Hawks we have to worry about come final time.

We'll beat you again if we play in the finals Geelong. No doubt about that. Dodgy umpiring, injury to a key back and you just win.

You guys are cooked.

I think Luke McParlin is really struggling.. going to be tough to keep him on the park

 

[Hodgepodge]

You really need to understand what a rebuild is

It's not playing more kids than last year, I can assure you.

 

[LongBomb]

Never change Freo supporters

And keep winning

 

[JackFlash]

Fremantle fans are a strange lot, Geelong led all night, in the end Freo had their chance to snatch a win and as usual Dockers fans cry foul and whinge....

 

[ilikepotatoes]

That one wasn't directed at you mate.

Sorry, my mistake.

I'd say it had more to do with the better all round football we played, and the fact your muppet coach once again encouraged your players to play the man and not the ball.

Really? Cause I didn't see any Freo players kick anyone in the head. I saw a bump or two, and a few jumper punches, which Geelong players gave their fair share to Freo players too.

 

[Ripper]

Royal commission pls.

Need to after the $4.00 odds offered before the game.

 

[Freeeoo]

Actually my bad I reckon freo and port will fight it out in the last round for fourth spot.

We're hanging on your every word.

If there is one opinion of Freo or its supporters that has minimal weight....

 

[Boppo]

I think Luke McParlin is really struggling.. going to be tough to keep him on the park

I thought they would have brought Silvagni in for this. I rate him and hope he come in.

 

[hk89]

Well if you look at the free kick differential, the hawks do well. The cats don't.

Better teams tend to do better in the free kick differentials. Hawthorn and Sydney lead this year. Cats are next in third place. Back in 2007 and 2008 Cats were absolutely romping it in with the frees for count , leading both years. Playing style might have something to do with it too. Back in 2008 Hawthorn was getting mauled by the umpires despite being a very good side that year. Maybe the cat's problem this year is that the umps have partly woken up to the diving and head ducking that their players have pioneered (and yes other teams do it now too - including the one I support).

That kick was cheeky wasn't it? Not much in it though, there was no force behind it.

Look I'm just riled up from all these people whinging about the umps when it didn't really change the outcome of the match at all.

Well, then have a look at neutral supporters opinion about the game. Should be unbiased...

Exactly all teams get the rub of the green at home, be it in SA-VIC or WA.

Didn't look like it last week.

 

[Rod Stroker]

Seems the free ride Geelong got last week carried on into this week. Yet another umpired assisted lead which had them out just enough not to get pegged back.
