Sanderson explains our season is still alive if we sustain the pressure, game style we showed against the Pussies, and Wimpy asks again if it's a 'one-off' win. FMD. Geelong colours are navy blue and salty white.

He also can't stop exposing his love for Ninthon with continuous comments and questions on radio and AFL360.

Poor Wimpy cries to Razorbrain this morning asking why Duz's mark wasn't paid as PITB.

Whinge a lot at Geelong TF, remember reading Farmer had a pretty big sook about Freddie marking it in the first row 67 GF, what I still don't get is we won by 9 points.

The fact that Whateley has to brief Chambermaid the day before and then make out that the “ free in question “ was brought up for discussion just then.

Unbelievable that the “Dusty non free, according to Whateley “ was on the discussion table.

No mention of the “I got pushed in the back” dive by the Cats player.

If it was Grimes of past season, the media would have crucified him and every media outlet , highlighting it.

Chambermaid is a poor umpire in my book and his explanations of frees given when he is on Whateley’s show at times are plain laughable.

On you're bottom point, i agree, the problem is this is how they are told to officiate the game. Some of the wording in the rules, you could read it 3 times & still be confused in some cases.

What is more annoying is Whateley completely ignores that Pawkins very 1st goal in the game from a very definite push in the back to Balta.

Weasel Whately is very definitely not worth listening to.

A lot of the rules are very very clear, it is the adjudication which is confusing.

Worst thing about a loss like that is that I can't watch any of the footy shows this week.


Or perhaps that is a good thing.

She is very hard to listen too.
I didn't mind the show with Lyold & Parrot not sure why she is on it now
 
LLoyd on Footy Classified pretty well came out and told Dimma to toughen up. I thought his comments were disrespectful while he was trying to be subtle. The other two blokes were pretty much similar. Only Carro showed any empathy I thought.
