Round 17 stuff

[carey]

Right now we are an absolute disgrace. 2 B grade sides playing.

The frustrations of being a Geelong supporter, being a much better side than 4 sides in front of you on the ladder but the draw screwing us.

yeah, playing melbourne a few weeks ago at home was so tough...

Geelong only play Melbourne once.

Didn't think my point was too hard to work out but I'll explain it.

Geelong play the 2 grand finalists from last year twice and the 6th side twice. ( 1 non finalist twice)
GWS play 1 grand finalist twice and the other sides were out of the 8. (4 non finalist twice)
Western Bulldogs play 1 finalist from last year twice. (4 non finalists twice)
Crows play 1 finalist from last year twice. (3 non finalists twice) (and Port have dropped in standard and only through the Cats feeling sorry for the Crows does it mean they'll not play the Cats twice)
Collingwood play 2 finalists from last year twice (Richmond and Geelong) 3 non finalists twice

At the end of the day none of those sides have a chance of the premiership but my point is its sad the Finals will be artificially be made up due to a skewed draw.

Its frustrating that several teams Geelong are comfortably better than over the season will finish in front of them. That's also been impacted upon by Geelong's mercy to the Crows as mentioned before. It frustrates me much more as a logical thinker and footy lover than Geelong supporter.

My point is, it'd be nice to have a draw similar to the EPL so we could have a fairer representation of where sides were at for the year with the end of year ladder.

Common sense I would have thought?

Cry me a f*cking river. You are'nt as good as you think

I really appreciate the intelligent way in which you addressed my points.

I'm concerned that AFL has told the umpires, that we need to increase scoring, so give forwards free kicks for minor infringements. Gives teams with crap forward lines a chance to score and keep the game close. Results will purely based on umpire decisions.
Stop making different interpretations week to week.

I guess there is a way you can have a fair draw based last years ladder. Get on the plane and travel a couple more times against an interstate side who missed the 8.....

I've just seen the worst in the back free ever in our game.

That's another kettle of fish when one club gets a distinct home advantage for 5 games a year as opposed to others that get 11 but thats for discussion another time as it would only add weight to my points.

[LaughingKookaburra]

The problems at Port need to be investigated more especially by the media. This is absolute garbage being dished up and it's getting worse as the season goes. Is it a coaching issue?

There's only one way to have a fair draw but it won't happen in a million years.


You play everyone home and away.

Don't agree on adding weight to your points however I'm glad to leave it until later

One of the worst free kicks ever

[carey]

One of the worst free kicks ever

The game is going backwards at a rapid rate. And mainly due to these walking penis's in green. Simply blokes who weren't good enough to play themselves not to mention the direction they are given from above that they must act on.

[Jim05]

One of the worst free kicks ever

Disgraceful

Port getting a nice ride with the umps this quarter
