Milney's act

After a cat's goal (from a free - who would have thought!) he vigorously shoved Johnson in the back with his forearm, in front of the umpire. Johnson reacted as if shot but bravely fought through the pain to accept his gift.
Stupid act, one that's repeated quite often as a point-scoring exercise after a goal by many of those in defence.
Not worth a free though IMO - and hasn't been in the other 179 games played this year.
But a foolish act nevertheless.

It was stupid no doubts as it was right infront of the umpire and we all know the maggots give frees like that, but if they are going to pay it the umpires have to pay it week in week out. It happens at every game, was a put on by Steve Johnson anyway.

Yes Stupid thing to do but not worth any report.
Steve Johnson should so be reported for poor acting and the umpire involved cited for overbearing empathy.
This has happened dozens of times by all sides over the season without consequence. Umpires are getting petty midway through games.
Its a pity that they didnt show mor pity earlier when Geelong created many frees that wewrent called. Typical of the inconsistency of umpires at different stages of a game. They deliberately let early decisions go to avoid mis calls later. This smacks of lack of competnency in my book.
Geelong still deserves the win.

Midfield clearances and clear winners are needed to make an effective forward line.

Exactly. Was a soft free kick. No report. Would be suprised if he even gets a slap on the wrist from the coaching staff. Was silly I suppose but at that stage we weren't in the game anyway. Maybe it will make him think twice next time....probably did us a favour from that perspective.LaUrEnCe wrote:I didnt think there was anything in it tbh... very lucky was Johnson to get the free
Was probably a stupid thing to do, but because its Milne its highlighted more and unfairly..

soft free kick. but the cats got a few of them, particularly early. it was as though the umpires had already decided there was only one team out there.The Fireman wrote:Agreed, anyone who bags Milney for this has never played the game.mad saint guy wrote:What Milne did happens 20 times a game. Absolutely nothing in it and such pathetic diving has to be stamped out of the game.
but credit to the cats. they're an awesome outfit.

Happenned right in front of us (we had fence seats next ti cheersquad).
Nothing in it IMO, and deserved a Logie... not a kick. The ump was blinded by another Geelong player. Piss poor free kick.
Max's undisciplined 50m penalty was far worse.

The lid is off after Round 2! Enjoy the journey, coz you just don't know where we'll end up. Live for today and seize the moment.
