Roos looking good to break the duck.

North are shitting the bed.

North are shitting the bed.

A clear sign of a team that's forgotten how to win.

 

[chef]

Another shit free could decide another game

 

[SM]

umps once again deciding a game of footy for nothing. league is a shambles

Again.

 

[Magma]

Again.

i wasnt watching what happened

i wasnt watching what happened

Yeo was penalised for a bullshit htb which Norf scored from to put them in front.

 

[Magma]

okay i just saw presumably the yeo htb is what people mean and lol. mental stuff

It was a shit decision but also justice, IMO. Norf didn't get a free about a minute earlier 20m out from goal for the same kind of push Darling got one for at the end of the first quarter.

Snake Baker?

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

Another diabolical decision in a close game costs a team the win.

This league is just a parody now, I don't know why anyone bothers really.

What was it this time?

What was it this time?

The holding paid to King when both were grappling each other.

I thought it was kinda hard to see on the TV footage.

Although apparently the ump that called it was 100m away..

Hahaha of all the fan bases to complain about umpiring.

Im not gutted about it like a lot of the WC fans on the main board. I think people forget we're still a pretty shit team too, particularly when you take 2 of our best 3 mids out of the game. Disappointing to lose to North but I also was weirdly happy for them cos I know what it's like to suck so horrendously and needing any win just to ease the pain and I feel like North played well enough to win.

We didnt kick straight and really should have won the game, we simply have to be winning games like this against teams like North at home but North came to Perth which isnt easy and threw everything they had at the game and won it in the end so good for them.

But to also be fair to the lads, we did turn it around, we played awful for three quarters and then turned it on to get our noses in front. We really should have won from there be it not for that umpiring decision.

Im not too fussed about it, it wasnt a key game or anything, we suck, were gonna finish bottom 4 regardless of that result, but what I was annoyed about is just the state of the game. I watched footy my whole life, as I'm sure everyone on here has, when you watch that play, you just know it's not a HTB decision. Not in a million years but they call it? The game and its umpiring is IMO at the moment, at an all time low.

So really frustrating from that point of view.

Would still rather Max Holmes.

Well yeah the rules are an absolute lottery. Incorrect disposal hasn't been paid since about 2008 and half of Mcgoverns possessions were throws but they don't get paid these days either.

Confident Brown ends up the better player. Holmes is overrated. This post nailed it:

Definitely Max Holmes. The level of hype from the media is staggering. Hes a serviceable player but beyond that is debateable

Banter, bruises, blood noses, and the time Ben stabbed Harry at the dinner table

There is sibling rivalry, and then there’s the competition between the McKay twins. It started in the womb. On Sunday, it will play out on the MCG in front of 90,000.

Just about anything could happen tonight.

Champion Data has him as a top 10 player, and he's been the best player for a 8 win team at 21 years old. Very happy where he's tracking.

Quoting that guy to back up your argument is never a good idea.

You lost me at Champion Data and then again at “8 win team”.

CD is the second biggest joke in the sport and Geelong is a bottom six quality side.
