All about Geelong

[desertsaint]

You've got the top team, smashing all it's rivals, but losing to three bottom eight teams - there's a story there.
you've got a runaway brownlow favourite facing review (a non-story but social media ran with it, mainstream follows) - so there's a story there.
we have beaten one top eight team - our story comes when we do it again, and again - it'll come.

[BigMart]

Oh

There's a story on the Dangerfield incident

The story was, that it's not a story
That's good media

[To the top]

This was the sweetest win of all - and now for all the rest that await!!

The umpiring was what it was including the overhead mark by Bruce, the free kick against McCartin when he marked, the Geelong player being spun by 800 degrees and no holding the ball and some high tackles not being paid along with some hits to the back taking players out of the contest - and you compare them to what ran the other way.

No doubt several of the many very experienced and well known Geelong players are very adept at playing for free kicks and getting into the Umpire's ears - such as Hawkins in animated conversation all the way back to the centre square and the Umpire continued making his way to the far distant corner of the square.

At the match night function at Geelong when we most recently played them there, Scarlett was the Guest Speaker and did he ever spew forth the hate bile on St Kilda - absolutely savage and he went on and on.

To the extent that I refused to donate to the charity cause Scarlett was promoting on the night (and the cause, an injured, paraplegic footballer was most admirable and deserving of all support)

To add, present in the room was Neil Roberts.

No apologies were made.

Then we got belted by over 100 points.

So it was not a good night.

But, as they say, every dog has its day.

I can imagine Scarlett kicking his cat for the next 12 months - and, apart from the poor cat, the image amuses me.

I also note there is no mention of Acres, who played well and then gave us the last quarter he did - exceptional.

[saintspremiers]

F*** 'Em all. We won. That's all that counts.

Let's hope Fourthorn can sort of GC in the second term and we can get set for 3 in a row.

It wouldn't be sunday arvo if there wasn't a scott brother sooking !

Thank god they arent triplets

There is a third, unknown Scott triplet. The family keeps him locked in an attic and feeds him on buckets of fish heads. He is restrained because he is psychotic, violent and unstable. Apparently he is the most charming of the triplets.

LOL now I have Theron Greyjoy from Game of thrones with Chris Scotts face going through my head

[White Winmar]

Didn't we do OK?

Did brilliant but got to string a few together. Media will get on board.

That makes it 4 out of 5, DV. That's great form in anyone's language. I'm with BM on this. We very rarely get genuine praise in the media. Last night they were patronising at best. For a while, when listening to the after match wrap ups, I could've sworn it was Geelong that won. They seem to know very little about our emerging blokes. They should. It's their job.

It's a great weekend with both Scott brothers beaten.
It has been a good year as we have beaten Collingwood,Geelong and Carlton. (My three most disliked teams.)

ya gotta add Freo in there.

And its always good when our rabble beat Essendon

Cannot stand the Scott sisters. Chris acts like a calm, reasonable person when they are winning however watch him when they lose. Showed his true personality in the presser last night, what a sook. The sooner both of the Scott's are out of the AFL the better... What Brad did last week was breathtakingly pathetic and selfish. Glad the prick copped a massive fine

Now if anyone had an excuse for being testy (not teste) it would be Theon Greyjoy. Maybe Chris Scott is grumpy because, like Greyjoy, he's been neutered?

Won't get any media love until we win another flag ..it's all about the flag. History has shown we have been pretenders that's how they see us. Theons sister and the mother of dragons are about to get it on ..should be interesting.

[bigcarl]

Let them underrate us. Respect is something you have to earn over a long period. Us going on a road trip and not being smashed by 10-20 goals would be a good start in earning it.

[Con Gorozidis]

Geelong were trying very hard in the 2nd half. But we stood up to it.

[ROLS-LEE]

I've got a question - why did Paddy come off the ground? I think he got belted in the face. During a marking contest. No free........

We got a couple that weren't there and ogot away with some, but bloody hell, so did they. Umpires a non issue. The better team won.

That hit and Paddy was blatantly intentional. I hate Harry Taylor.

[ctqs]

This is where the football media is out of touch because I was watching the game with a lot of non-Saints supporters (I had something on I couldn't get out of) and all of them - including the ones I didn't know - were on our side during the game and really impressed and congratulatory afterwards. Then there were the messages I received from non-Saints mates afterwards along the same lines.
Both Scott brothers are the biggest sooks in the AFL. If only they had the maturity and character to be able to suck it up.

Saints get 2 mentions in the 10 best from 6 games- ( pies get 3) but Saints top moment- Gresh goal

but we learnt that cats are fallible. as the memory of the game

Yes we have to earn respect but ...

Fxxx Geelong
Fxxx Scott
Fxxx his brother
Fxxx Scarlett who deserves to be beaten senseless
Fxxx the arrogant dickheads sitting in front of me that I sent packing
And finally
Fxxx my condescending brother in law that can give it but can't take it

Go Sainters !

[The Fireman]

they haven't shown the free against Paddy in that marking contest..it was clearly a mark and no infringement

Not to forget the non free kick when McCartin got smashed in the face.
The mark that was not paid and even a free for being smashed in the back from which Geelong quickly goaled.
The front on contact when Membrey goes for a mark.
At least 4 set shots on goal disallowed by bad / corrupt umpiring.
Geelong should never have been in the game at three quarter time except for the umpires help.

I have seen three years olds throw more honest temper tantrums when they know they have been pinged for doing something wrong than Dorkins.
But then I doubt that he has reached three years old.

Damian Barrett on Sunday Footy Show went on about the "non free" to Hawkins then briefly mentions that on closer inspection he tripped over his own feet. Then why go on about a non free, you fool? Also failed to even mention or show any footage of Gresham's clutch goal.

Yep I watched the replay and Hawkins clipped his own feet and brought himself and Roberton down

[kosifantutti]

Also the Bruce attempt at a hanger. Five bites but never controlled it. Fair enough, no mark but number 8 was all over him for the last three attempts.

Seriously Bruce can't buy a free kick. He's the new Roo. He can be pushed in the back, arms chopped, blocked off the ball, sat on, hair pulled, tripped over and called for holding the ball when he doesn't have it. Im surprised the umps dont allow the opposition to put a ball and chain on him at the start of a game. Its Bulltish.
