Review Port vs 31 free kicks to 19

[bomberclifford]

Querying not one ump gave geelong 15 frees

Do you mean "one ump gave Geelong 15 frees?"

Edit: got it.

 

[Janus]

Yes, Geelong didn't trade Esava to Port because they didn't want to strengthen their direct flag competitor who had just finished 11th.

Unlike this forum, Chris Scott understood that Port was only 11th due to injuries and had just added Horne-Francis to what was a generational midfield already and that finishing 1st and 2nd in 2020 and 2021 was the mean rather than being an anomaly.

There are games where we simply don’t get “the rub of the green”. This happens quite regularly both ways.

But some stick out and will be remembered for years. For us, north in 2013, Carlton 2015&16 will go down as some of the most disgraceful umpiring displays of all time. I would put this Geelong game amongst these.

I would also include the 2016 grand final from a neutral perspective.

 

[Waspy79]

How long has it been since we saw a dissent free? But the umps saw fit to bring it back at an absolutely crucial juncture for Geelong and against Port Adelaide.

Just another subjective rule that the corrupt AFL and the complicit umpires can employ to get big money Vic teams a few extra wins.

Probably when it cost GWS a win over Carlton

Collingwood Round 2 this year was pretty flipping bad.

I was not surprised by the set up question to Brad Scott in the post-match presser asking him "How good is Esava Ratugolea". They way Scott talked about him you'd think he was Harris Andrew, Steven May and Jacob Weitering rolled into one.

We all like to exaggerate with the hyperbole where the Geelong board is saying we would need to flip next year’s future first (for Sav).
The way Geelong has treated Sav this and last year, it could get very gets messy.

Hmmmm, I wonder what the odds are for him to walk.

 

[Waspy79]

7 extra disposals in the last quarter is like a extra A grade player for Geelong. Three of those extra disposals in front of goal.

Houston penalised for front on contact against Cameron in the goal square, minutes later up the other end Stewart not penalised for front on contact against Lord. They are cheats.

 

[manureid]

But Stewart is the best intercept defender in the league. You dont get those paid against you when you wear that mantle. That is just good old fashioned defending.

 

[Waspy79]

It’s embarrassing now

Waspy79 you really are becoming a meme with your utterly s**t calls

Unlike the port board to overhype it’s own mediocre players on the back of one barely serviceable outing.

 

[Peninsula Boy]

Yeah, I thought the same thing when I watched the replay.

 

[Waspy79]

Playing potato’s like mac and cheese, Jonas, mead and Boner are the definition of why this club is not a premiership threat

You need to have 18 solid contributors and we are absolutely top heavy with elite talent and poo fringe players

You are a hypocrite.

 

[Bevoman]

Is he? If he is exactly what we need, surely we would have made the deal happen last year. From what I’ve seen he shows all the attributes of someone who took up football 5 years after Travis Boak got drafted.

We have limited trade currency where the cost for his trade needs to factor in Sav will not be the messiah for our defence problems.
Albeit he would make us better, particular with his flexibility to ruck, play forward and down back.

Collingwood Round 2 this year was pretty *ing bad.

Nah. We were dominated in the contest. We didn’t deserve frees

 

[PeacefulWarrior]

You are a hypocrite.

You’re a w***er

Go support the crows then given you dislike half our squad vendetta boy

 

[Handyandy]

Effort was there. Lacked polish. Probably should have won. Same as 348 other losses in the past decade.

Mark this down as one of the 2 or 3 umpire reamings we get a year. Farcical. They seemed to get goals handed on a platter all the time.

I don’t get angry re the umpiring, I have known it’s a fixed competition for a good while now. We have had some real anti port umpiring this season but it largely hasn’t changed the result, sat night it probably did.
If Geelong went forward & one of our defenders looked at them the wrong way we were pinged. Houston was getting agro about it & I don’t recall him losing it very often.
Up the other end it was arm chops, front on charges with heavy contact, shoves in the back, even a couple of very dangerous tunnels and it’s whistles away.
Commentators are pretty shameless too.
Ex cat player was certain the throw against Rozee was the correct call. As certain as dunstall was that the Carlton tackle that resulted in a suspension on dbj wasn’t a free.

 

[TazD]

Still haunted by that Rozee handball to Jonas.

As I said, you’re a hypocrite.

I only got to watch parts of the first quarter due to a social thing we had on. My son told me about a mark paid to Cameron that was tapped into the air and then punched away by Jonas but still paid a mark. Anyone know when that might have been during the game?

 

[Enviable Tradition]

Was anyone surprised that we were the team caught up in the crackdown of the standing the mark rule as SPP allowed a leg hair to cross the mark?

Meanwhile Port get a free, Geelong kick the ball away, the Geelong player who marks the kick just drops the ball on the ground, 'Ok take the kick from where the free was paid'.

Geelong player when JHF missed set shot ran comfortably 5m over the mark and just stood there.

Wasn't even asked to come back. Let alone 50.

Have we ever had a game at Kardinia where there wasn't a massive favouring of them by the umpires?

The consistency seems a tad suspicious.

Q1. Cameron was paid a soft free kick. Contact wing defence.

 

[PowerBaz]

Accuracy in front of goals, worst in the league last 5 games, second last for the year. It's this lack of polish that is costing us games, probably why we need a zillion entries - somewhat always been a Hinkley coached trait.
