Round 4: the root canal games.

Who cares who won the free kick count when the Umps handed the game to Carlton

Not obvious, it was as obvious as day turns to night.

Watch this video and tell me if you can't see the deflection. Not only that all commentary have stated it was touched.

3 goals from Frees in the last quarter alone to Carlton.

Clear as day robbery. https://x.com/DizzyT801/status/1776531524005019886
Freo got a couple from harsh frees near their goal in Q3 though. Bloos may have got a similar one back.

I didn't see it so much as a rigged result. Just too much blatant and excessive intervention in the game by the umpiring. So much so that they determine the result, not the teams. By a combination of really harsh 'interpretations' or sheer ineptitude. That ball was 'hugely' touched at the end.

But not 1 of 4 blind mice can detect it by sight, sound or intuition. Then the severe penalty for an understandably frustrated Freo player calling them out for it. Sorry for being human you lobotomized robots!

The overall free tally bears out that probably not a pre-determined result for Cartoon.

The umpires played their part but that was terrible game management by Freo with 4 minutes to go. Leading by 10 and still putting speed on the ball, not holding possession.
Luke Jackson hits the ball out from a ball up with 1.40 to go.
The ball went straight to Kennedy who kicked it to Cotteral.
He shouldve tap it to his feet for a 2nd ball up.
Freo screwed it up

Maybe tonight, but I think you’ll find over the last 6 or 7 years the Throwdogs have had an amazing run (to put it politely) from the umpires.

I’m not crying tears for the Throwdogs.
Yes, I know. That's why it's really amusing to see that when it comes to playing umps faves, the Moggies, even the Doggies come off badly.

Think, the Moggies have been training the 'looks a bit like a handball' shovel actions to match the dogs now though.
 
Ol Mate Josh Jenkins dead set has PTSD from the 2017 GF.

He hates the Tigers almost as much as Cornes! Every time I hear him in the media he is disparaging the Tigers.

Its ok mate we know they pulled your pants down and spanked you purple in front of 105 K, I understand why you harbor a grudge.

"OH We're From Tigerland " ....singalong JJ singalong ...............

Them, the Throwdogs (the original and best), Cwood, Carlton, Blandbane are all now experts at throwing it. Aided of course by a controlling body (AFL) who , because it’s in their best interests, discretely turns a blind eye

Agree with that. He’s on SEN all the time and never..never… has anything positive to say about us or our players. Like Corne, he’s totally mind fkd by us. Must be an SA thing. And gee don’t we know how big a bunch of bitter aholes South Australians can be.

He’s a ** of a bloke.

Hear here Drof spot on
 
Jenkins has never recovered from the 2017 incessant ragging that he received from Chumpley who yelled “Get a kick Lurker Jenkins !” at him for 4 solid quarters ….all game long. Even when the game was finished.

Mentally destroyed for life by Chumpley.

There’s your answer to Jenkins problems with us. Chumpley.

What triggered his PTSD this time? Was at simple reading our ins and outs and mentioned the name Dustin Martin?

Ok who is Chumpley?
 
Ever noticed how Geelong struggle with small players deep in their backline ? Especially near the goal line.

It’s been a defensive weakness for years.
