2022 Finals Week One Fixture

[Ludwig]

Another corrupt element of the AFL. Dread the concept of versing the Pies in the GF. Would be like 2016 all over again

But does this bit of corruption offset Geelong's salary cap advantage from real estate deals?

The AFL's Chief Corruption Accountant has a very challenging job balancing the books.

When you frame it like that it almost sounds even

That goal was nuts

So was that

[Ludwig]

It's going to be a big advantage getting the week off the way these games are being played. I wouldn't want to have to play another game at this pace then travel to the SCG for a prelim.

Rohan 12 touches 2 goals 1.

Still want the Cats to lose so I can see Scott’s face. He’s got one of those faces like Hardwick you love to watch when they lose.

And there’s a lot of pressure on them given the minor premiership and their finals record.

The only person who seemed to think it was a goal was the goal umpire.

You mean the person in the best position to know? If you were going to trust anyone in that situation, it would have to be the goal umpire.

I remember reading that. I don't buy 126/127 score reviews were correct. I think what they mean is that 126/127 were not unarguably wrong. Last night's score review is a good example. The AFL have deemed that the correct call was made by the score reviewers but there is no consensus around that opinion in the media, public or coaches etc.

Well said. There have been plenty of controversial decisions since the system was introduced. There have been multiple instances this year where the reviewer has seemingly changed a call based on the idea that it looked more likely to them rather than there being definitive proof that an error was made.

I don't realise a draw in the finals leads to 2 three minute halves and so on..who should I wish to come to our side of the draw...I can't decide...how about a draw ? and another draw just for the sake of the effect of the extra effort

Adams is a massive loss

And yes, I hope they’re still playing tomorrow

Oh come on. Surely someone in Timbuktu watching on their phone and posting on a footy site would know better.

Yes Gary!

[Sandridge]

Rohan!!!

[Mark26]

Go Cats. I cannot bring myself to wish any success for Collingwood ever.

[dejavoodoo44]

Quite enjoyed Collingwood losing a close one and Rohan being a bit of a finals hero.

[stevoswan]

Very satisfying seeing Collingwood finally losing a close one. This weekend has been close to perfect so far. If Freo can beat the Dogs tonight by a point.....it will be perfect!
