Round 4 - The Other Cheese Sandwich Games

Umpires doing their best to get the home team across the line. The umpiring bias to Geelong this last quarter has been disgraceful. Brisbane players take the tackler on; free kick. Geelong players do the same; play on!

Hawkins gives away a pushing free in nearly every marking contest yet rarely gets penalised. It’s a *smile* outrage.

Arguably a holding free to Cameron before Guthrie

At least we’ll be able to watch the pussies wet themselves in September again

Well done umpires. Another victory handed to Geelong. *smile* unbelievable how bad some of those decisions were in the last quarter. I can’t have Hawkins. He’s a *smile* cheat.

On of the most disgustingly biased inspiring performances I've seen. Cats most looked after in the comp.

And the commentators just go along with it.

How is it "brilliant play" from Dangerfield when he goes low and takes out the legs, yet when Cotch does it it's a free kick every time?

Raynor is a very average footballer. Most overrated in the lions lineup. Barely best 22.

I haven't been watching this, but I occasionally look at the timeline on the AFL web site, it looks like this:

AFL Game Timeline.jpg

That's a nice natty little blue slider there, oh, wait a minute, did these f*wits think maybe they could employ a graphic designer? The blue slider is covering the green line at the point where it shows you the margin at this point in time. Now, I'm not going to single out the AFL for this, a lot of web design is woeful, but this is woeful. The moron who put this together (I'm not going to say designed this) has covered up the most important part of the graphic. Words cannot describe how stupid this is.

As for the game, sounds like I didn't miss anything. I really do worry about the state of the game. Australian football has appealed to generations of supporters, per capita it must be one of the most popular games going. Why would you mess with it?

And the AFL wonder why umpires cop it in the AFL. The standard is just unacceptable.

Also, Cam Rayner is possibly a bigger bust than McCartin at this rate, who has been impressive down back at the Swans.
