      Oh good one. Hunt gets spun aorund twice in the tackle and refuses to dispose of it and they give him a free!

      Poor old Reg getting towelled up.

          What happened to the holding the ball rule?

          Crouch and Hally were good in that quarter, thank god for those two.

            We've steadied nicely and don't look too far out of it. If we can continue to push the ball forward straight up the middle quickly (Crouch and Buchanan have been particularly good there) then we can be a real threat.

              I thought Crouch, Bird and Hall were all good that quarter. We did okay in the middle. Two problems - lack of forward line pressure allowing Geelong to set up uber fast attacking moves and our backline was just turned inside out on this big ground, aided and abetted by the cheating @@@@ing umpires.

Jude gets ridden into the ground - clear push in back - nothing doing. Plenty of other examples. It is almost like the umpires are just focusing on watching Geelong players to ensure they are not infringed, rather than watching the play in general.

                  BTW, we are not out of of this. I have a feeling we are going to win tonight, umpries willing.
                  I had been thinking exactly the same thing.

                    Don't forget the clear "hands in the back" in the goal square.

                    When will we stop giving away dumb, unnecessary free kicks? We are the touighest, but thickest team in the comp, no doubt.

                    How easy is it for Geelong players to get 10 metres in the clear for the short or medium kick forward? Embarrassing.

                    When WE get the ball we can't buy a free man there are geelong players EVERYWHERE.n WTF is wrong with us.

                    Please note the DUMB footy of Mattner lunging at Ablett when we had a chance to pin them down near their defensive fifty.....Ablett, swerve, 70 metre run, goal.

                    Was not result of anything special from Ablett, just DUMB defending. MAN UP FFS!!!

                      Why can't we get a holding the ball going our bloody way? This is bloody disgraceful umpiring.

                        I am the umpire monitor for tonight. Two holding the ball decision in 2 minutes for Geelong players completed ignored. Rook and the some other bnbloke before that.

                          Love that James Kelly throw with back shielding action to umpire. Can't blame the umpire for that. Now we are streaming out of defence with run and the umpire says...no advantage. WTF!

                                There were a lot of loose Geelong players during that build up into the forward 50m. If we are going to wing this, we need to keep it tight and man up after turnovers. It's an intense game, so I think fitness will come into it later.
