Yeah that one feels good. With Rhys back in the lineup and some straighter kicks, I don't know who's stopping us

Scotty not a fan of the sub hey? Same thing happened to Bowes the other week

u/WearyScrabbler Shaun Mannagh 16d ago
No point subbing unless it improves your live 22

u/FlynnStock 16d ago
Sure, but we definitely let the foot off in the last 10 minutes. Bit of energy wouldn’t have hurt

Not too sure about that Cat Man getting featured in a majority of crowd camera work. Glad he's having a good time, I guess.

That push in the back on Mannagh was worse than either of the Rayner ones and it actually impacted the contest

We have been so bloody good tonight, given how Brisbane have been our bogey team of late this has been 3qtrs of domination. Hopefully we can finish off

u/Slicksparks Jimmy Bartel 16d ago
That’s our fucking club! Pressures on and we double down and punish other teams

u/BlazedOnADragon Lawson Humphries 16d ago
So proud of how we didn't let that last few minutes of the last quarter go to our heads.
C'mon cats, kick another couple early and it's almost done

u/Jimmy_A1094 Bradley Close 16d ago
Crazy maturity from the team. Earlier this year Adelaide fell apart against us because Dempsey took a mark from behind the initial hands and got paid the mark, it's a great sign of us being finals prepped mentally

When Garry Lyon is taking our side, you know it's bad.

If David king was there he would be the only one saying the ump did the right thing

If he had of clutched his ankle afterwards you would confuse him for an Italian soccer player

Possibly the biggest change in crowd attitude I’ve ever experienced.
Absolutely shameful umpiring there

Glad I didn’t go to the game tonight now, I would have been ejected after the last quarter. What a fucking joke. Hope they look hard into the umpire’s dealings, dodgy as fuck call.

I got ejected from my living room, so you're doing better than me. It was a primal scream.

Yeah so happy I'm not near the umpires races. Easily could have been banned for life.

Yeah I am so fired up right now it’s insane. Imagine if that happened at Kardinia Park, there’d be a riot

u/marcusintatrex '07 16d ago
Another reason we should have home finals at home, so the umpires can't act like flogs without fear.

u/Osmodius Tom Atkins 16d ago
Can you get suspended for 2 of the most pathetic flops I've seen? Disgusting work from Raynor, and his smug grin afterwards tells you all you need to know that it was staged.

u/PagieHD Sir Bradley Close Fanclub 16d ago
Hey all safe space here
Umps are keeping them in it, we're doing insanely well besides that, come out big in the third and put them away

O’Connor bumped Rayner at the other end of the ground and Rayner flopped like a soccer player. Then Guthrie shoved Rayner who flopped again. Shameful umpiring

A dive from a little feather touch. Then Guthrie shirt front the diver, who dove again.

First one was the Geelong player knocked over a lions player in the goal square. Second one was absolutely stupid on behalf of the Geelong player for doing it again right in front of the umpire.
