Autopsy AFL 2024 Round 11 - Cats v GWS Sat May 25th 4:35pm AEST (GMHBA)

[Danger Zone]

Geelong fans when they lose two games in a row at home:

If the AFL is consistent blicavs gets a week for his hit on whitfield.

He absolutely should.
He elected to go past the play and bump a player and got him in the head

Commentators arent talking about it? Suprise suprise.

This coming from a poster of your intellect?

Nobody's talking about it, just you.

With all the Geelong fellatio going on in the commentary box, if it was the slightest bit contentious, they'd have spent 15 minutes talking about it.

Instead, not even a whimper.

If the pro-Geelong commentators don't even give it a mention, you can rest assured it wasn't a sling tackle.

Go and look up what a sling tackle is also, instead of doubling down on embarrassing yourself even further.

Heading over to the Geelong forum to a few posts

Edit: was boring. Looks like all the melts are here.

That last quarter was immense! Cats were charging hard. Felt like such a massive game in the context of both seasons, within an established stadium rivalry.

The prolonged cats booing at the end was disgusting. When you see a side hold on like that you have to give them credit.

Are we not seeing the irony that this is coming from a West Coast fan? GWS were excellent though. Umps were poor across the entire night with a slight bias to Giants, although I’m saying this as biased towards Geelong of course. Another lost free kick count, but we had plenty of opportunities to win and when you only play a quarter and a half of AFL intensity footy, you tend to lose most games

What an existence!

Swans chipped away at the foundations for a decade, the place is starting to crumble.

Must finally be succumbing to the weight of Scotts massive head. Would be hard pressed to find a more egotistical flog if you tried.

 

[bzparkes]

I dunno.

Collingwood fans, what do you think?

No excuse for them not to play there anymore now.

 

[ToreadorMarch]

Not sure I can handle too many more weekends with both Geelong and Melbourne Storm losses - it just doesn’t feel right somehow

 

[NetworkNerd]

Geelong is finished as a football power, it was inevitable. They are not much better than North, they are now one of the competitions easy beats, it''s unlikely they will win 2 or 3 games for the rest of the year.

Hawthorn, Richmond and WCE at GMHBA. Another game against North

4 guaranteed wins

Four losses in a row, Geelong's season in trouble. GMHBA no longer the unbeatable fortress.

 

[Cmarsh]

The sling tackle is officially allowed again!!

Brunn just got slung 360 and his head dumped into the turf and the ump paid it a throw.

He had his arms free. Was not a sling tackle.

 

[Farang83150]

Why didn't Cameron play?

Is it the end of an era? Or another false sunset?

 

[hawkman]

You're literally the only person sooking about it.

Commentators didn't raise it, nor have other Geelong supporters.

You're not the smartest person in the room, FYI.

Crazy even!

If they even make the finals, they'll lose the elimination final EASILY.

Rubbish. Post a video then mate and lets have a look

Not a video editor so I won’t be doing that, did go look at it on my Kayo stream. I’m sure there’ll be a video soon enough.

Really what did he do wrong there? I get it looks bad because Bruhn flings around, but he’s also trying to spin out of a tackle, while attempting to handball.

There’s no slinging action, arms aren’t pinned, he doesn’t drive his head forward. What does the Giants player actually do wrong?

 

[Roobs321]

I'm so happy for the Giants. Ever since their side got unsettled a couple weeks back against the Saints, that synergy hasn't been there and you could feel them limping towards a bye where they can regroup. Grabbing a win at the Cattery was what the doctor ordered.

 

[geelong_crazy26]

He had his arms free. Was not a sling tackle.

Was a slinging motion tackle that ended up with his head hitting the turf.

Is a free kick every day of the week.

Just went back and took a screen shot for reference.

Its there everyday of the week. Umpire too scared to call it with the context of the game.

People need to hold umps accountable for poor decisions

Slung him around in a motion that ended up driving the players head into the turf.

Dangerous tackle every week and has been for a long time now. Umpire got scared on the spot and didnt pay it.

Both arms free even, he only ended up like that because he was trying to spin out of the tackle. Tackler didn't initiate the motion. Was good umpiring.

He made the motion himself, not the tackler.

 

[BomberManU]

Huddo's a Cats fan and sure sounds like it now. Shame, he's normally very good.

No, no he's not.

Nah whenever we play a Vic team he openly barracks for them, he hasn't been a good commentator for a while

Such a shame as he used to be one of the best

Nah, has been terrible for a long time. Probably since 'Thirteeeeeeeeeeeen'.

Your screenshot conveniently misses the part milliseconds prior where Bruhn goes over because his legs get caught up under the Giants player’s, and not because of any slinging motion.
