Match Thread - cats v saints

[plugger66]

They have a decent wind which the commentators reckons doesn't exist

Mooney did say 2 goals.

[Grimfang]

Joke umpiring again. Tiggy touchwood frees for the cats, clear frees ignored our way.

[Milne]

Finally started watching the game. Watch a terrible first quarter, same as every single one of the last 4-5 games.

Btw, people are welcome to PM me

[MC Gusto]

40 v 8 qtr time

Multiply that by 4 and you have 160 v 32

Sounds about right..

[kosifantutti]

What a terrible decision. Delaneys arms must be 2m long if that ball was over the line.

[desertsaint]

Looked touched, but no bloody goal line camera - what's the point? Cost next to nothing to install one up on the goal post.

[jonesy]

Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeazzzzze!

Clealry touched before the line,umpire in perfect position,calls a goal,isn't over ruled.

Anyhow,you get that when you play a disgraceful unaccountable nothing brand of football.

[Bazza1970]

Will we ever get a goal decision go our way? Surely touched on the line.

[falka]

What a poor start

That goal umpire is a cheat that was easy touched

We win toss and kick into wind. Great idea

2nd to ball, weak tackling or clumsy tackling

We kick to 1 on 3 which means we have 17 players behind ball yet they just slice up the guts with no pressure. Disgusting

[citywest]

The commentators on 774 said that Geelong has the wind. We will outscore the cats in the second quarter. The scores will be level at half time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! or less than a kick in it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

About 200K a ground apparently. Will have them next year i reckon.

[8856brother]

We seriously cant take a trick. Goal line cameras would have shown what we all clearly knew. Did the ass clown goal umpire give us the benefit. Of course not.

[SaintPav]

100 point loss coming up.

Lovely.

[Kate]

Has the rule about shepherding a marking contest changed?

[clarky449]

Don't understand how people can say "clearly" touched on the line.. I don't suppose you are in the goal umpires position.. It looked close but the goal umpire was in best position so he is better to make a judgement then any of us...

Giving away weak free kicks.. Keep those high tackles down.. We just sit back and hope we don't get blown away..

[Bunk_Moreland]

Is an arm over the shoulder classed as high?

Seems I see a lot of those paid over the years.

When the Riewoldt grounded the mark the tackling player had his arm CLEARLY over Riewoldts shoulder for a good 10 seconds even when the umpire blew time off.

Why is that not a free kick.

Can somebody please explain why that was not high?

Plugger66 considering you have umpired, is over the shoulder still a free kick?

Anyone?

[3rd generation saint]

Once again we have a non-existent forward line. Everytime we go forward we are outnumbered 2 to 1, every friggin' time.
I'm sick of this stupid game plan, how about telling our forwards to stay forward so we actually have someone to kick it to when we get the ball.
This us looking like Hawthorn all over again.
I would rather we play man on man and forget about zones and other tactics, keep it friggin' simple.

I'm saying it will level at half time. The commentators said about the wind.

Clearly due to body positions etc, so jog on. That ump was just a dirty weak cat favourer

So you want to get beaten by 140 points every week?

surely our new CEO could explain why no goal line camera at every game. its not that bloody expensive

[Jimmy O'Dea]

Even though he does not have the talent we are very poorly coached. To continue to let them drop a spare across half back (Mackie most of the time) without pushing one back to ensere this does not happen is dissapointing.

[falka]

Weak as piss
