Round 2, 2013: Geelong v North Melbourne

[nobbyiscool]

for the record, the 50m penalty was brutal. i dont think it was warranted.

wouldn't have mattered though - those last minute winners are Bartel's bread and butter.

i'm not sure Geelong deserve to be that happy about it. they nearly kicked themselves out of it.

 

[Righteo]

What an absurd football team Geelong are.

Cost me a potential 9/9 but worth it in a way.

 

[boncer34]

The free was obvious, as was the 50.

Without a doubt.

Whistle went, clear geelong kick, he picks it up and boots it away.

If he thought it was a North kick then why did he thump it away and not let the clock wind down?

 

[Fire]

Who are bigger chokers, Richmond or North?

Richmond.

Not to say that North aren't someting special... but still, nothing beats losing in 30 seconds with a 2 goal buffer to the Gold Coast to sink a season.

 

[Indie_]

Scott has a right to be pissed.

 

[Lord Eddard]

Now the real excitement starts. Brad Scott post match press conference

 

[Falchoon]

That's all well and good, but this is an INDOOR stadium mate, there is no excuse for that.

if they were the home team he'd have a legitimate gripe

 

[Mudd]

North dead set threw this game, geelong had no business winning that.

 

[verypoorboy]

Umpire didn't cost us the game. Clanger kings like Ben Jacobs did. Full credit to Geelong, can't blame the umps for that loss.

 

[Rod Stroker]

Free was there.
50 was there.
Weather should be irrelevant.

But it's the "assistance" given to the Cats in the second half that I can't agree with.
Sure they played well and I knew they'd come back, but they had some help.

 

[nobbyiscool]

Kicked the ball away a couple seconds after the free kick was called. Pretty stock standard 50m

Couple of seconds? it was barely one second.

 

[Lord Eddard]

Scott has a right to be pissed.

Why cos he got to play an away game at his home ground and he didn't like the rain?

 

[liam_13]

Wouldn't call us chokers. We played well in the first half, they played well in the second half. That's it, tale of two halves.

Well done Geelong. For the first time I agree with posters bagging Brad Scott, usually he's no worse than 5-6 other coaches and normally says what everyone is thinking, but come on, Geelong played two ruckman in the wet!

Sucks for us, we have Swans and Hawthorn as 2 of our next 3 games so could be 1-4 and that's assuming Brisbane don't lift in the next fortnight. But we had our opportunities, just not there yet. Like I said all summer, we aren't 'there' in 2013 just like we weren't 'there' in 2012.

 

[Rod Stroker]

North dead set threw this game, geelong had no business winning that.

The umps made it their business.

 

[funk44]

I'm happy to admit when I'm wrong

 

[Fear Boner]

Thanks.

Full this game.

Frees were there you were up by 41 points

 

[smasha]

Brad Scott losing it again.

 

[ManOfClay]

Hansen non existent. Cunnington embarrassing. Tarrant barely passable. Petrie their only big forward. Scott crying.

Normal service at North.

 

[Super Hans]

How good is that Ben Jacobs? Real gun.

 

[alfy!]

Free was there.
50 was there.
Weather should be irrelevant.

But it's the "assistance" given to the Cats in the second half that I can't agree with.
Sure they played well and I knew they'd come back, but they had some help.

Same way you got help in the first half. Fact is the team that goes hard and gets the ball is going to win the free kicks. We saw that today.

 

[Nostradumbass]

Brad Scott is an embarrassment.

 

[Groupie_]

Brad Scott is a massive tool

 

[Lord Eddard]

Free was there.
50 was there.
Weather should be irrelevant.

They were first to the ball all second half. Not surprised they got the frees.

Scott Thompson though...

 

[Gods_Son23]

Is he really whinging about the roof not being closed? Has this been confirmed?

 

[Substance]

time to head over to the north board
