Cats w/no players vs. Crows...can you win it?

[Mr Beefy]

The Cats do have something to play for as it is Dasher's 150th game for the club. He doesn't say much ol Dash but the boys love him. As for Bartel, he probably hadn't fully overcome that injury from slamming into the goalpost at the Gabba.

As for Tex Walker. Quite clearly the Cows should never play him again and he should remain with the Redlegs.

I believe it's Dasher's 250th game and I think it may also be Jimmy's 150th

Oops. Course it is. Typo.

Really don't see how you could think the Crows should win this REB, given we haven't won at Skilled since 2003. This is a developing Adelaide side, not a built one.

[Interceptor]

Competitive so far, but making too many mistakes.
There's a lack of awareness from a few players as well.

Poor delivery into the forward line rounds it off.

on the way home from skilled. Absolutely shattered, thought the crows were the better team and deserved the win... But crucial skill errors from a few players and umpires at critical times put a stop to that. Beaten, but not disgraced.

A two point margin says I wasn't too far away and neither were you blokes.

You can't blame the umps. They were crap both ways, I thought the game was overumpired from the start. I thought the Crows were the better side in the second half but the Cats were the better side in the first.

REB was on the money

Close!!! You can never be happy with a loss but to get to within 2 points at Skilled Stadium is a good effort

REB - the 25 Geelong - 15 Adel free kick count was just garbage..
I agree and understand there should not be parity in it - but seriously, the amount of frees given to Geelong that resulted in goals yesterday was just infuriating...

The amount of home town decisions that were on show yesterday was a disgrace and I got sick of listening to the commentry from K-ROCK (which included Josh Hunt) saying.. that umpire was the only one who saw that free kick.. It happened all day and even a few geelong supporters around us were saying... gee we were lucky then.... that's a pretty good sign we were bent over by the boys in green...

That being said - the umpires didn't make Porpy drop a chest mark late in the last or have Doughty make 3 or 4 bad skill errors in the last 10 mins.. Nor did they effect our kicking at goal in the 2nd qtr..

We are developing into a good team and given another 12 months of development of some of our kids, we will be a TOP 4 team in the next year or two..

[RoosterMarty]

Terrible umpiring, I guess they couldn't let Geelong lose at their home ground. They were an absolute disgrace.

Now we have to smash the Pies.

My pet hate just because one team had more free kicks than another does not mean the umpires were biased. Do people not think that sometimes a team deserves more free kicks than the other team.

It wasn't the count WHUFC...
Just in case you didn't see it the first time.... I clearly said I understand there shouldn't be parity..

It was the non-decisions to the Crows that were given to Geelong..

The play on Porpy wasn't allowed to do in the 2nd qtr when waltzing into the forward 50..
The holding the ball decisions all day when 3 or 4 blokes dive on it and it goes to Geelong..
The "push in the back" against Stevens and Johncock when they used their body to hold ground on a bloke backing back...

We had every 50 / 50 decision go against us and the decisions that Geelong got that resulted directly in goals that was frustrating.. the entire K-ROCK commentary was complaining about the decisions all day...

Sorry my mistake missed that line

So close, a game we really could and should of won.

You mean like the goal given to Burton in the first quarter when the ball bounced OVER Coreys Leg. Or the mark taken OUTSIDE of the boundary by Radar?

You sound like a Hawthorn supporter. How many times have the Cats been shagged at Football Park. It's got to even out at some stage.



A terrible tale of woe SCD. Just stick to your line that you didn't take your chances.
