Mooney and that FREE

How about instead of focusing on a dicey call that was there but also could've been let go, let's focus on clear mistakes such as Dawson touching that goal by Mooney in the third quarter. People will whine about that last decision just because it was the last decision, it certainly wasn't the worst one and in my opinion it was a right one anyway.
what about it? Johnson went down to pick up th ball and did not duck his head.
Johnson was embarrassing tonight with his antics and staging, throws his arms back and falls to ground like a Italian Soccer player.
Well, it was Kilda playing with 16-18 St Kilda players in Geelong's forward line for 90% of the game. What do you expect????
How are some people even debating it wasn't a free kick?
Wet, dry or windy thats a free kick every day. Some people complaining what was Mooney to do, how about get in better position so to apply pressure he doesn't have to dive into Gwilts back and consequently ******** him to apply pressure for the turnover.
Great game but great and gutsy call. A weaker umpire would've let it play out. Giesh will come out this week and state it was the right call.

Re: Cam Mooney tells it how it is!!!
This.
Literally the perfect example of an in the back free kick, incredibly blatant.
Umpire should have paid 50 for mouthing off as well.

Sounds about right. You do realise that Geelong instigated the flooding in the second quarter?Well, it was Kilda playing with 16-18 St Kilda players in Geelong's forward line for 90% of the game. What do you expect????
Re: I feel sorry for Geelong
paid every day of the year! this year, that is why the game is now so ****ing pathetic and soft, poor poor form!

What game were you watching? We were the ones taking the game on in the first half. It was only in the last that Ross threw everyone back.Well, it was Kilda playing with 16-18 St Kilda players in Geelong's forward line for 90% of the game. What do you expect????

yep. and what about varco not getting a free prior to this.
I hate seeing players dive forward. I thought there was supposed to be a rule against that???
maybe a suspension for gwilt for diving will sort that out for good. No other player would ever do it again.
and in these close finishing games, with errors in umpiring. One day some savvy rich punter will disect a matches decisions and take it further ie sue.

exactly.
anyone remember the Prelim last year. Doggies with similar angst at an umpiring decision to see the Saints win.

You really could've just stopped there.
HTFU though Cats fans, Barry Hall should never have played in the 2005 GF and Leo 'You star!' Barry's mark was a clear free kick to Ashley Sampi, and I don't recall too much sympathy going our way. Just roll with it, if you're good enough to win it from here you still can.

Take a look at a replay of the game. We may have lost, but we never play a 16-18 man zone in the oppositions 50. It may have cost us tonight, but so be it - our attacking style has served us well and I'm proud of the way we take the game on.

Lol, that'd be an interesting one at the tribunal.
James Gwilt - 3 weeks suspension for being blatantly rode into the ground.

Re: Cam Mooney tells it how it is!!!
Not seen GAblett or Selwood play then.
Mooney has nothign to complain about. They've won plenty of games on dodgy free kicks and this one was legit.

I never said we weren't good enough to win it, nor that Cam Mooney's free cost us the game (although I did go apesh*& when it was awarded) - I just pointed out that, if it was a boring game with too much zoning and over-defensive play, it was probably St Kilda's doing and not Geelong's.

This.
Kicking 1.7 in the final quarter cost the cats game. Well done to the saints. If Geelong are any good they'll be able to win the next 3 games.
