The umps LOVE to pay soft frees to forwards (and ruck duels) that don’t get paid anywhere else on the ground. And they LOVE to pay these soft frees at crucial moments.

Yeah last.
Nothing in it, yet Balta got one paid against him against Freo.
Don’t start me on Lynch & Jack. They , especially Jack gets nothing, even if he gets his head ripped off.

Yeah I still laugh at that Gold Coast game where Jack was going for a mark and sooky la la Collins was running with his back to the ball and whacked Jack in the head in an attempt to spoil. Play on!
Commentators said Collins was brave
We got to pay our natural game have a good start.Media making it cats a some super team dogs had them on toast with similar game style of ours fast quick furious footy and alot of pressure on the ball carrier and good ball delivery into the forward 50 not allowing there defence to sweep it up.We got take advantage of the ruck and win our fair share of clearances and hard ball starts there.Bring the heat on them we do that the best like no other team and they struggle with it so our forwards a super important.Need a collective 22 performance.
Weather update. 21 degs on the Gold Coaat, scattered clouds. Don't expect we will see any more rain. Ground might have some residual dampness but I expect decent conditions.
You know what's funny? Midfielders get arms wrapped around them at every other stoppage and yet if a backman or ruckman did it there would be a free nearly every time.
'This is Geelong's Premiership to Lose'
Love these headlines, pressure building.
Let's hope we can contribute to their demise, if not tonight but when it really matters.

This is Geelong's premiership to lose
This is one of those games you can’t help but get excited about. Two teams with the same goal, but very contrasting styles going head to head on the Friday night stage.
That's interesting from Carey. He and Nick Riewoldt have been the only media "experts" that have been consistently on the Tiger wagon over the past 3-4 seasons Now Duck has jumped off and hitched a ride with the Cats.'This is Geelong's Premiership to Lose'

Biddiscombe top 5?, Where's Andy Preston?
Exactly.
Umpires , especially Chambermaid loves to give ones to the opp in the F50.
Cant forget the one against us when Diverfield flung himself through the air in a single bound’ without a touch in last years PF against the Cats.
We have had a good rest between games. Side will be primed to fire. Expecting big games from Bolton, Martin, Cotch and Lynch. Balta to destroy Hawkins.

"Two teams with the same goal"
- Um,... no *smile* sherlock.
Attended a talk by Biddiscombe. A bit wanky but chatted too him afterwards and his early 00's Richmond stories and insights were great.
I didn't think that was a bad decision personally, Geary did not object at all, he wrapped his arms around him too early and wasn't looking at the ball. Geary panicked. The ball should not have got there, the saints guy (44?) should have smothered Darling's kick instead of going to tackle him.
