JLT 2 vs Geelong, Colac, Sunday 11/3/18 1.05pm Fox

That was like the Melbourne pre-season win in 2016. After three dead quarters, the crowd (and teams) got real keen all of a sudden.

Was it a joke?

71 frees in a single game. WHAT DA FUQ

I wish he got more of a go, but I guess doesnā€™t feature in our round 1 plans.

No worries. Always a risk of Poeā€™s Law in a match day thread.

Panic dollar peaked and near parity during the 3rd, and settled on about 70 cents USD. Analysts said it was just a correction to some panic selling earlier on

Death, taxes andā€¦

I just had a quick look at the stats. We had 45 freeā€™s against??

Was it poor discipline or bad umpiring or both?

Mostly crap umpiring

Both. They were paying some (many) soft ones, but also I donā€™t think weā€™ve learned how to hold the man off the ball without being obvious about it.

Beat in almost every stat but the 1 that mattered, that has to be good yes?

Three players didnā€™t lay a tackle this time.
T-Bell, Gleeson and Hurley.
Thatā€™s better than nine players.

Zerrett 9, Zaka and Tippa 8, Myers 6.
I am more pleased with this effort.

Even the commentators couldnā€™t believe how many frees were paid

How we still won that game when it was so badly lopsided was a miracle

Pannell can fark right off

Love to see the breakdown of frees for Panelbeaterā€¦ world class ā– ā– ā– ā– ā– ā–  whose bias gets worse and worse each season.

Screws us each and every game. Iā€™d be getting 20K ready and sending out a player to say somethingā€¦ guy is a joke.

Some were there and no doubt our technique was lacking at timesā€¦ but far out it was a horror show.

Zerrett was excellent all round today.

Thatā€™s disappointing from Bellchambers in particular. Shouldnā€™t be hard for a ruckman to get a tackle.

I generally give ruckmen a pass.
It can be tough for them to lay an effective tackle, and you donā€™t want to be giving away a free kick from the centre clearance.
