Which one? The throw was a legitimate call.

Surely Walsh's absence hasn't had THAT much of an impact has it?
Just before that. Around 1 min left. Maybe it was right but that touched mark seemed absurd the way they handled it. The guy was lining up for a shot on goal then the ump called for a ball up, just seemed ridiculous. I may have missed the play on call.

The touched call was made immediately, but looked to be missed in the crowd noise as the officiating of the play transferred to the other umpire. Not much else they can do in that situation but bring it back and ball it up.
The more contentious one for me was earlier, when Armfield looked to take the advantage, played-on and kicked a behind, but the ball was brought back. I'm guessing the umpire gave Armfield the benefit of the doubt as to whether he was aware, or not, that a free had been paid in the first place.
We still seem to have run, it's just we have patches or entire matches full of basic skill errors.
In the last 5 minutes there were a few times where a player would kick on the wrong side of the boot or handball in to an opposition player, when an effective disposal would have meant a goal or goal set up.
I haven't seen many matches this year, but it doesn't look good.

Well, Port are fucked. That's the biggest surprise for me for the year.
Well done to Goldie for getting a hitout record yesterday. 80 hitouts is impressive, even against hardly no opposition.

Starting to get excited for today's game. Enright's 300th, at home. Only the third Geelong player to get to 300.
I think Melbourne are better than the odds suggest. Hopefully we'll get the win.
End of 1st: Kind of expected Melbourne to be able to play like this against us. They've been impressive in the last couple games, especially their run and carry. That's why I was happy Hogan was withdrawn.
Too many outs for us, no dedicated ruckman hurts a lot. I actually think we're playing pretty well too just Melbourne are harder at it as this is how they want to play. Could be tough from here if we can't start controlling the play more.
Half-Time: More of the same really. Some of our players are down (Selwood) but still only a goal down. Blicavs has 10 tackles already (next closest is 5). We're a terrible second half side, could end up an ugly result.
Third: Stupid skill errors are killing us. Think the Dees will be desperate to hold on given what happened last week.
32 up - Well done, Dees. Outplayed us all over the ground.

Enjoy the game!
I've only been to the Gabba once to watch football. Lions vs Hawks.
I punched a wall and hurt my hand for a few days so I don't have fond memories of the place.
Hopefully the Lions put on a good show for you

Tipping continues as normal. I give up.
You're only 7 behind. Can easily do that in 11 rounds.
I'm finding it a lot harder to get a proper read on games. It only takes 1 or 2 horrid rounds and everyone is back in it.

It hasn't been my year this year. I can't see myself pulling 4 back let alone 7.

Tip us against Freo to try get back. I reckon they're vulnerable down back and our forward line is performing really effectively.

I don't know much of anything about Australian football, but you guys gave us (LSU) one bad-ass punter, Brad Wing.
The first on-field taunting penalty called in college football was a 52 yard fake punt run by Brad Wing. If your special teams gets smoked by a white punter for 52 yards, I say you deserve to be shit on.
Are the rules more or less the same over by you guys? I might be moving to Australia for work in the future, these are the important types of questions I should be asking.

I don't really watch much footy but I used to be friends with one of the Collingwood players back in highschool. It's always surreal seeing them on TV.
Anyways karn the Dockers!

the rules are nothing alike. sometimes even our umpires don't even know the rules. Rugby would be closer to NFL.
If you can find an online stream of tonight's game between Fremantle and Collingwood you would do well to watch it as its a fucking cracker of a game.
And yeah fuck Thursday games. It's screwed up my whole week.

So impressed with our effort tonight. Boys fought hard against a really quality side. Well done Freo.

Let in WAAAAY too many cheap assy goals. Must have been 80% of their goals came from nothing assy snaps from nothing. So frustrating.
Jables Swan

Frustrating but also great to see I reckon. The structures the coaches have put in place are working and it's just the inexperience and skill mistakes that are hurting us in brief parts of the game.
Get Reid back next week and welcome Greenwood in the week after and we've got a really good team. People will have to start taking notice soon.

that one by Walters where it skimmed across the goal line was assy but intentional. Those kinds of goals are what I watch footy for especially when you have the likes of Cloke (others too but he's one of the worst) choking from 20 metres directly in front.

While I still can't see them challenging for the flag, it's getting hard to ignore the scalps they are taking. Well done Tigers.

No surprise the Swans jumped at the chance to accept the 1 week suspensions.

I feel sad for the guy, seems like a genuinely good bloke. Hopefully it's a very minor case. All the best to him.
