[The Jet From Poowong]

It wasn't the same one for both errors was it? I'm certain that they were two different umpires.

Do you mean outside of boundary line or inside. Because there is 18 of them on the inside who try and umpire the game every week

Was it the same boundary umpire in the third quarter who allowed Cameron's mark a metre over the line the same one who allowed Close to play on two metres over the boundary line in the fourth quarter?

Not sure, I was a few drinks in by that stage

[Flukey!]

Seems to be getting better as the season goes on. Far better than Bowes. We definitely didn’t need him in hindsight.

Nobody wanted Bowes, just the pick attached to him.

I’m aware. Just stating that Bruhn is better. Was also saying we didn’t need Bruhn in hindsight. As we were linked to him last year.

Are these pro Geelong umpire decisions corruption or incompetence

a little from column A and a little from column B.

need to get rid of these overhead handball flicks. too dodgy

Reporter: Jeremy Cameron's goal in the last quarter that was from outside the boundary, what did you think of that.
Campaignerman: It wasn't outside the boundary.
Reporter: It was clearly outside the boundary.
Campaignerman: It was outside the boundary was it? You have have a different view from others I've talked to who know the game well who say it wasn't outside the boundary.

This is how you win an argument.

This is what post-truth looks like…

Scott: ‘Others ive talked to who know the game well; they’re great. They are greatest game knowers. They are amazing at being great and the best at knowing the game the best. They are really fabulous people.’

Guess they're not all that knowledgeable since the AFL has came out with "yea the umpire ****ed up"

 

[Off The Couch]

It amazes me that he never sees incidents that positively affect his team but seems to always see the ones that negatively affect them.

The centre bounce that resulted in a pies game 3 seconds in to the second half was a perfect example

 

[Halways]

I have to laugh at all the mitchell comments. Leads the pies for contested possessions (16), clearances (5), second in tackles (7) to go with his 7 score involvements, 2 goal assists. Was great inside the contest tonight and helped turn the midfield battle around after quarter time.

Whose stats are these ?

Plus, we don’t have ammo to trade for Weddle if we got Bruhn. He would have taken up that second rounder at minimum, which we needed to trade for Weddle.

 

[Cleavy]

AFL acknowleges one error but stands behind boundary umpire on contentious Cameron call

Sam Edmund has the latest from AFL House.

what is this? tv footage for ants?

 

[Mojo]

I'm absolutely dying at this post on the Geelong board. The nerve of these blokes to complain about other clubs not paying fair trade value when the pricks got Bowes and Pick 7 for a future 3rd lmao

Daddy crying foul - the cheek of a team who have wannabe tough guy Maynard playing

Scott: ‘Others ive talked to who know the game well; they’re great. They are greatest game knowers. They are amazing at being great and the best at knowing the game the best. They are really fabulous people.’

It’s like politicians ‘all the people I talk to agree with me’

Peter Daicos can’t be serious

If I was Nick I’d be pretty embarrassed that the old man had a whinge on my behalf , and made no sense doing so

 

[The hands of stone]

He even printed out some text messages if you don’t believe him

' hey Bowie , Dang here . Been tracking you for ages m8 . Starting mid lock here with cats bro .'

'If ya hear anything bout a salary dump/pick arrangement its cr@p started by DB.......he is on the tank anyway.'

 

[KermitJagger]

Thoughts on Bruhn?

Seems like a good, contested player - Re-visiting the trade scenario last year...

Would he have been another Worpel? Thus, actually having no need for him?

Same problem he had at GWS. Certainly not worth the assets it would have cost to get him, going by what Geelong gave up.

Terrible fitness, slow, can't find the pill. Has had 2 games over 20 disposals this season and 4 in his career which is a fairly poor return for a mid. Would be our 9th highest rated midfielder if he was in our side, according to Champion Data. Behind Newc, Worpel, Day, Nash, Amon, Ward, Morrison and McDonald.

 

[KermitJagger]

Ginnivan seems to be a more rounded footballer.
More team oriented.

0 tackles, 7 pressure acts. Might have set up a few goals but there are still some gaping flaws in his game.

 

[Roby]

You know it is possible for it to be best for hawtborn that he left and he can play well for another team, right?

Sure, he has played well this season but he hasn't been lighting it up, no where near the player he was when he won the brownlow.

 

[grumbleguts]

Feels weird supporting Sydney, but if it stops Geelong making finals then go you good beautiful things.
