Changes for Prelim v geel (Friday Sept 20)

[Tigers of Old]

Outside of Rance (& possibly Stack) the team/squad is at absolute full strength. We have been in superb form leading in.
This is as big an opportunity to win another Premiership as we will get.
No excuses not to perform. With so much at stake and the sense of loss last year I think we will win & win well.

Yep, no Dusty getting his infected knee drained, no Astbury on a drip in hospital, no flu infiltrating the team, no worries.

do we know where Geelong is on the 2019 Free Kick differential ladder? And is Duckwood and Dangercheat leading the Free Kicks For again? @LeeToRainesToRoach?

+25 (5th)

 

[tigerlove]

Magpies +82 GWS -88 free kick differential, that could get messy. -39 of frees is Mumford alone...lol

 

[DavidSSS]

Whoa, that's similar to the difference we had against the Umpires' favourites in last year's Prelim.

according to this, Geelong have 3 players in the top 25 free kicks for. and we have zero. its interesting that ruckman dominate the top 10. that just suggests how heinous the Dumpires are with free kicks at stoppages.

Aren’t they the 3 who completely over umpired the lions v giants game ?

54 free kicks (total) in that game.

 

[Baloo]

Can we wear our Premiership jumpers?

 

[Sintiger]

In the end it doesn’t really matter but I would love to see cotch on the platform in the traditional jumper. I haven’t seen it since 1980 !!

 

[TigerMasochist]

54 free kicks (total) in that game.

As long as the free kicks are there n more importantly adjudicated in the same manner to both teams. I couldn't give a stuff if there's 100 frees. Maggots just need to umpire both sides to the same standards.

Yep, don't care who is umpiring or who is playing for the Salty Squad. We'll thump 'em and keep a fair bit in reserve as well.

Interesting stat someone post elsewhere. (Need to find it) our last 10 games has been better then 2018 & 2017.
Scored a lot more and defence has been tighter. Moving the ball through the corridor a lot and scoring from rebound from defence is number 1 in the league.
Basically we’ve been better then ever.

Not according to Salty.

Ryan is decent. Razor and Nichols are worth 3 or 4 goals for the Cats though

Pretty sure Ryan did the 2017 GF. Funny how umpires you used to hate can eventually get your respect if they improve enough to hang around. Stevic is the best going around now.

Nicholls isn't great but chances are his mistakes will even out over four quarters.

Rayzor was out of control last week. Annoyed the p!ss out of everyone. Surely they have someone better in the top six.

I suppose their was no join landing either?

Not that I recall..... btw where is the Join?

was there a breakdown of how many free kicks each Dumpire paid last week? I watched the whole game and every time a free was paid, Razor’s unmistakable head was in shot pointing his arm sideways.

I reckon Chamberlains SF concert in brisbane,

was the most prominent umpiring performance I can recall.

I think in his head, Ray thinks 40,000 people come to watch him.

and when the great players are On The Couch 20 years after retirement,

they are going to reminisce about the frees he paid.

 

[spook]

I'm with Gerard Healy on free kicks: pay every one that's there and maybe players will stop cheating.

Im not against paying frees.

Im against Chamberlain leaning into his microphone and going

'tobes, tobes, tobes. yeah, you stuck your finger up his arse maaaaaaaaaate. C'mon didn't the doctor tell you nothing smaller than your elbow up the arse maaaaaaaaate'

or some equivalent convoluted descriptor

every time he blows the whistle

while the decent umps blow the whistle, throw their arm one way and go 'nuh, incorrect disposal'

 

[Ian4]

The rumour is henderson will be Hawkins replacement with him a chance to play a negating role on Grimes (or Taylor to play forward).

it will have the opposite affect. more players will drop their knees or feign contact to the face.
