I dont care what people say...

[Adelaide Hawk]

No doubt about it. We won that game of football and it was taken away from us.

Gee, A cats fan having a sook. How strange

 

[Dawson]

It did cost Geelong the game, unfortunately for them though it was the correct decision that cost them the game.

Yep, it sure was

 

[Kirby]

Watching the game, the tackle looked as if it could have been let go and play on called by the umpire and all us cat fans would be happy. Given the benefit of a replay, the free kick was there and the umpire made the correct call "by the book". We will just have to wait till next week and try to play 4 quaters of good Geelong football and not put ourselves, or the umpire, in that situation again.

Good post. I thought it could have been let go too, especially in those conditions.

The free was technically there though.

 

[jpod]

It was the correct call... but remember the finals have just started and half of you havent played yet .. and we are till in the race

 

[MotlopRules]

Memory of incident fading, fading....

Thread needs more video.

 

[stugots]

The game was lost in the first half. 6 goals down just minutes into the third quater was always going to be a monstrous task in those conditions.

those "monstrous tasks" are a real bitch, eh

 

[Stoddy]

That decision did cost Geelong the game last night. Peopkle will bitch and moan and be holier than thou about how they should have kicked goals etc.. but the point is, any one of those goals Geel did kick that they missed significantly changes the outcome of the game.

Ever seen sliding doors? Geel kicks a point.. the ball gets kicked in and the game eventuates that particular way, OR, if Geelong kick the goal the ball goes back to the centre and a completely different course of action unfolds. You see the difference? Now the game played out that particular way for the reason that it was meant to, so decisions that are made in the course of the game being played that way CONSIDERABLY affect the outcome.

Some basic supporters will not be able to see it this way, but in fact, it is the way it is, and the decision that was made was critical in the way that game unfolded last night.

pfffffffffffffffft

push in the back every day of 2010

cam mooneys 'goal'?

the goal steve johnson kicked when he ran in head first into a tackle?

thats right, all forgotten

carn the saints!

 

[rufus t firefly]

If Geelong had won by 2 points, Mooney's "goal" would have made the difference.

Now THAT was the real controversial incident in the match not a blatant free kick correctly awarded in the last minute.

if the umpires didn't pay any free kicks at all we would have won

 

[demondavey]

Gee ..spot the ASW ..a new thread just to try and impress his importance on us all .
Not only an ASW but you are totally wrong, i guess the soft frees the Cats got in the second half had no bearing on the result ?

supid thread .

hmmm, definitely one of the basic supporters i was talking about. Oh well - it takes all sorts to make a galaxy

 

[danielnajdek]

Not sure why everyones angry over that free to Gwilt. Didn't Selwood,Johnson and Stokes all get dodgy frees for ducking and throwing their heads back like they'd been shot. Or was I mistaken.

 

[lifesaver]

My opinion is only 1 person lost the game. It was cam Mooney for an illegal tackle. pretty simple really.

 

[Byron_Clanger]

Waaaa Waaaaaa Waaaaaa Waaaaaaaa

Correct. I'd bet if one of those players had of won a free for staging that won the game they would be praising him like a god. Saying "Good for him" etc.
At least the Cats supporters would be.

Anyways, no doubt it was a free. Mooney didn't land on the ground next to Gwilt but on Gwilts back, been a free all year. It is silly to argue otherwise.

 

[Theo X]

2 or 3 similar tackles in the 1st qtr Freo v Hawks game on now, none paid as a free, we'd like some consistency please

 

[deck]

It is a type of free kick that goes unpaid a lot of the time. But is only controversial because it happened in the final minute as Geelong kicked a goal that probably would have won them the game.

No one would care or even question it as a iffy free kick if it happens earlier in the game.

 

[Quivorir]

didnt read you're whole thread nor do I care about you opinion. The one thing I did read was that you said it did cost geelong the game. No shit.

But the free kick was there.

Geelong cost themselves the game.

 

[Footy_Fan2007]

i agree with you

That decision did cost Geelong the game

A correct decision, that Cameron Mooney fell into Gwilts back was paid and prevented Geelong from kicking the winning goal, so the decision, a correct decision, cost them the game

Gwilt dived. Went straight on his guts instead of falling on his knees first. Mooney tried to get out of the way. Unfortunetly the umpire fell for the Gwilt acting. Players do it all the time. So no, it wasn't really the correct decision it was just the umpire getting sucked in.

It doesn't matter now anyway it's done and dusted. Looking to next week
