complete ball had not crossed the back of the line when touched

correct call

Incorrect his hand hadn’t made contact with the hall. It brushed his hand after it crossed the line.
rubbish
His hand was up but he hadn’t made contact.

Umpires give there players so much leeway. Wills was just grabbing the ball time and time again and curling up with it. Below the knees free to Collingwood in the back against Geelong.

Can't wait for Gil to tell Scott and Geelong that they're playing at the G again next week

They have a genuine, exclusive and unique home ground advantage providing them the best opportunity to make finals but it costs them when they play the wider MCG.

What a bunch of arrogant pricks. Serves the handbaggers right.

Couldn’t tell the teams apart from row BB of the top deck.

How hard would it be for Collingwood to have a proper clash jumper?

Eddie and Frank got together a long time back and it was decided that Geelong would always wear white shorts when they played, regardless if it was a Cats home game ...for exactly the reason that you point out

One godfather is still at Collingwood but the other godfather has moved on as president of Geelong

Apparently they had a 'gentleman's' agreement according to Maguire and it was good for 20 years, but tonight the Cats went rogue.

Bugger Maguire and bugger Collingwood. Just insist they wear a proper away top or have the afl make one up for them. All white with a little black feather on the breast.

Totally agree.
I was confused on numerous occassions.
I wonder how many turnovers were due to the confusing colours?

We didn’t know there were alternatives back in the 60s. But the game would have been much better to watch last night if Collingwood were wearing red.

Can WCE do a Footscray 2016 and win a Semi from
the Elim? It’s a rare event but I’d love to see Geelong bailed out completely at their home finals ground next Friday night.

There seemed to be some non pressured handballs out of packs directly to an opponent

Match 3
Will the Doggies get the same armchair ride they got against The Falafels in the 2016 Prelim?
Free kicks 23 to 13.
(Epitomised by the 50m penalty not paid to Scully 60m from the GWS goal with a minute to go that would have given GWS the lead).

Time for GWS to stand up.

Chris Scott isn't a coaches A$$hole
Walks into a premiership side in his first year
My grandmother could have coached that side & she passed away 22 years ago
What's he done since then ? Fxxxing nothing

When Geelong kicked 3 goals in a row, he jumped up screaming pumping the fist like a one eyed supporter in the stands
WTF other coach does that ?

He has N.F.I. no plan B, if things go to s***, he goes to s***
Totally demonstrated by his actions
Yesss !! we're back !! 3 goals in row !! Woo Hoo !!
NFI how it happened but yessss !! we can win this !!

A$$hole Flog

Great to see Scumscray get what they deserve.

Shame the bloody Eagles didn’t finish them off in the Elim final in 2016.

This bye week pre finals works well if you want to know the result of a finals game at three quarter time!

Gut feel tells me the Lions Tigers game will start as a nil all draw wrestle for half of the first term, Tigers will kick 3 or 4 goals to end the term that margin ahead.

By half way through the third it will be game over with the Tigers 50 points up and in cruise control.

Rest of the game will be slow motion doing time for both sides and Tigers will win by 5 to 7 goals.

Game 4
Go Lions
But umpires have started with an absolute gift goal to Richmond.
One wonders what the agenda is!

2 goal advantage now to Richmond with two f$&#ing inept corrupt decisions.
I thought Brisbane would win but clearly the umpires have been briefed.

So changing to an easy Tiger win.
