Just in case you thought that 50m penalty against Harry & Crippa made no sense, get a load of this for an explanation :

It's the vibe !!!!
Voss or Cook need to respond to that.

I wondered whether the Fox commentators would admit they got it wrong on the Williams incident after the MRO handed out a fine but I didn't think so. They have now doubled down and called for his dropping. Do these people ever wonder why no one actually like them.
He was terrible. Defence wins premierships and he can't defend. With Saad and McGovern we can afford to have him there for his rebound but not now.
Ironically we played better when he went off against the Giants.

Watched it a few times on video and there appears to be high contact of sorts but ZW also appears to have exaggerated the force of the contact and the umpires ignored it due to the extra mayo he applied.
It probably should have been a free but you cant expect to get those all the time either and he should have played through the contact and not let Geelong(Henry) have a zero contest situation.
The umpires were terrible overall imo and let play go especially holding the ball/man situations and you just have to be able to read the game and how its being umpired and know that it was unlikely they would make that call as high contact imho and not gamble they might.
Saying all that I have just read Henry has been charged with striking Zac Williams which I presume was the same incident so the MRO has deemed the contact severe enough and should have been a free kick to our man ....more to play out in this saga and you were justified in calling for the AFL to adjudicate on the decision.
We need to start striking blokes softly off the ball. The fines are worth it if you can get a few goals out of it.

Why can the likes of Tuohy or Guthrie take the footy run 2 or 3 steps, be tackled and then just hold onto to it unpenalised, but Hewett or Acres does that and it's holding the ball?
Watching the replay is infuriating, all those little moments go against us, we probably missed out at least 5 or 6 free kicks in and around our HFF in just a half of footy, incidents where the Handbaggers just held onto the footy after trying to break a tackle, dropped it cold, or just threw it away. Our tacklers were not rewarded at all!
Clarkson complained about this in 2016 when they were knocked out of the finals by the dogs. He asked how can you have 100 tackles and not one holding the ball? What is the point in tackling?

Fogarty was ranked the best pressure forward in the comp and since we have lost him we have conceded 100, 98 and 118 points.
The likes of Carrol and Durdin offer no pressure which makes it harder for Acres, Cottrell and Hollands to give chase. Which makes it hard for Williams, Kemp and Cowan to defend.

Saad and McGovern are very quick.
Cowan and Young are not.
Geelong's first goal was set up by Danger inside 50, guess who was on him? Young.

Agree he was disappointing yesterday the media have accused him of staging for a free where he appeared to be caught high and then that passage of play produced a important goal for Geelong.
If he staged then he should be suspended. I would like the AFL to come out and say it was a free kick or he staged.
