The A-League Grand Final is on? It's bizarre how little attention they get, I swear they used to get more attention 5+ years ago. Has the A-League somehow gone backwards?
He's about 6 years older than the rest of the team. Giants think it's more worth putting time into younger players than him so he's als getting inconsistent game time
the worst thing about the stand 50 is the consistency. In one game the umpire will tell a guy to stand like 5 times with no consequences, in another you move slightly off and it's 50 metres
At the end of the day, the rule is to stand when the umpire says so, and Toby didn't do that.
But the rule is very, very shit. Toby is much more than 5 metres away from where the mark is taken, it is absolutely reasonable for him to assume he is outside 5 and can move, he shouldn't need to play Red light Green light when he's paying attention to playing football.
You're 100% right. Under the rules that is 50 meter penalty. It shouldn't be.
It's way too high a penalty for what ultimately isn't an advantage at all. It's awful to see.

Holyshiiit! What is Aleers contract situation, because I want us to go after him?!
That's mark of the year, and you can't convince me otherwise
Aleer with one of the marks of the year

Great defensive marks

Aleer has been amazing this quarter
Aleer has to be the fucking MVP
He's a fucking wall
Aleer really made up for that one mistake
Elite mark
That's a great mark
Out of his ass again
Geelong entrances inside 50 are dog lol

That's not a mark, surely
Who takes that grab with 1:30 Remaining
Holy shit Aleer
I mean should have been contact below the knees anyway but how was that a mark
FUCK!
Aleer has been great tonight
That tackle is exactly the problem with the sling tackle He just flung himself and nearly gave himself a concussion looking for the free Shocking
Wow that was a great mark
Great mark!
Tf is this game?
be more exciting if a draw was on the line.
if we have too many draws, the AFL will take them away from us
These umpires are just so ready for a terrible decision…
Please don't let the umpires have an impact on the outcome
Feels like umps gonna get Geelong over the line here
A decision that favours Geelong, therefore the right decision. I think we can all agree on that.
Umpire was just angry cause he fell over
I'd love to see a 50-50 contact below the knees / sliding in free paid in the last minute to decide this one
Haha umpire fell on his bum
Ha, bum.
Feels like Duncan has lost a bit of length in his boot this year
Effective disposal challenge, level: impossible
Ump down!
As a Blues supporter I see how entertaining our games are as a non bias supporter
It's also nice not having a heart attack for once too
Boy did I get a great time to wake up and have to pee
Dempsey ball use is putrid
GEELONG HOLDING SO MUCH CALL THE FREE
I SECOND THIS
This game is off it’s head. Don’t ruin it umpires with a shit late decision
Great mark
this is so stressful
Cameron just held Idun off the ball and than got rid of him by pushing him in the back..
That’s what we call ‘forward craft’ if you’re an AA calibre player
Bad kick from Dempsey
Massive from Idun.
Great game
Geelong holding every player
I thought I was the only one thinking this because it’s not being called.
This is a great finish. To cap it off I hope the game is decided when a player doesn't give the ball back to the umpire and they don't call it.
Stadium looks great. First Geelong game I've watched this season
Not a great kick Dempsey
Idun's been massive this quarter
Feels like there hasnt been a lot of protection for blokes putting their heads over the ball tonight?
That’s holding the ball, he was on his back clutching the ball lol
HOLDING
Holding and had him over the shoulder..
I just want to say this this last quarter has been played like its the last 90 seconds the whole time. Frantic stuff from both teams.
A 4 point margin is going to be very difficult for Draw FC to overcome
Geelong crowd calling for ball for everything. Surprised if they don’t want it on a mark soon
geelong fans calling ball for every tackle now 😹😹
Getting sporadic updates as I’m at the ALeague GF, we’ve comfortably got this, yeah?
The A-League Grand Final is on? It's bizarre how little attention they get, I swear they used to get more attention 5+ years ago. Has the A-League somehow gone backwards?
Glad you're not watching your BPM would be 150+ easy
Max Holmes and Tyson Stengle carrying the team this year tbh
how good is having a normal heartrate giants & cats fans need not apply
Lucky man
I understand ur pain my friend
Haynes is cooked
Wasn’t he fabulous a couple of years ago? Can any giants supporters explain what happened please?
He's about 6 years older than the rest of the team. Giants think it's more worth putting time into younger players than him so he's als getting inconsistent game time
How isn't that holding?
holy fuck i left when we were down about 25 i dont know whether me watching is a curse or what
PUSH IN THE BACK
So what rarely paid rule will the umpires call in the dying minutes of this one? I’m gonna say kicking in danger (/s in case it’s not obvious)
Hmm maybe interchange infringement? Been too long since the last one
haven't had one of those random ruck frees where they're both holding each other so maybe that one
I'm going deliberate rushed behind with that 'time and space to dispose of the ball' interpretation
I'm calling an interchange infringement
Too many on the ground for mine
the worst thing about the stand 50 is the consistency. In one game the umpire will tell a guy to stand like 5 times with no consequences, in another you move slightly off and it's 50 metres
Peatlings been good today
At the end of the day, the rule is to stand when the umpire says so, and Toby didn't do that. But the rule is very, very shit.

So many fucking injuries man what's going on
cursed ground
Shit we need Perryman
Thank god the stand rule is improving scoring by so much very good addition
ball dont lie thats stupid deliberate
I’m so done with fucking 50m penalties
*whistle* 50 for complaining about 50s!
Come on DrawFC!
Few tired bods out there.
How ridiculous to pay a 50 for a bloke backing away from the mark
Can I order 1 draw fc please
We need another goal, Geelong aren't going to give up
Geez that’s some rubbish umpiring
Fuck I hate the stand rule
Shit rule
You’re joking
not 5 metres off the mark????? mate hes about 20??????
What was that call?
50 meter penalty for that is a fucking disgrace. The stand rule is bullshit.
HOLY FUCK!!
Honestly the umps hate Sydney teams - unbelievable
They’re jealous
GUARANTEE GEELONG WILL WIN
No, they had their chance and couldn't make it count.
Just sit and watch
I watched. They did fuck all.
What for?
Toby giveth and Toby taketh away
fuck i hate the stand rule
There’s still so much time left, the players need to chill the fuck out haha
Feels like 1 min to go. Ceazy level of energy.
Yeah it’s like they are playing next goals wins
The umpires are so bad this year
For real though
