Was a good bad game, if that makes sense.
Thought the Cats were going to steal it at the end, but Pies managed to hang on.

Haha, we have no mental strength, no appetite for a scrap. The talent/ability is there, but until we lose that softness we won't win the main prize.
We have Melbourne next week so let's see how your comment stands in 7 days.![]()

The team in yellow are having a fantastic amount of influence tonight... Boo

Yep, neither set of fans happy with the shyte the umps served up.
Geelong too much class in the end and found a way to win.
We did enough to win, but you can't win kicking 2.9 in the last. Wasted chances all night and that cost us.
At least Carlton put in a reasonable effort this week.

Good game wrong result!
How a team can consistently let the opponent get so far into the lead and reel them in is beyond me. It's a strategy that I'd like to see discontinued. And Tom Hawkins needs a kick up the bum for missing some simple goals.

I see it, but I don't believe it!
So I might just watch the replay to make sure.

A 12-year-old boy was grabbed around the neck and verbally abused by a foul-mouthed football fan as the boy celebrated his team hitting the lead at the MCG on the weekend.
Police confirmed this morning that they are investigating the incident, which happened during Saturday night's clash between Richmond and Carlton.
The sad thing about it is he said, 'Look, I don't think I want to go and watch another match', and all that he wanted to do was watch his favourite player.
Dina Stephens said her son Marcus jumped up in excitement when the Tigers hit the lead in the final quarter but was quickly grabbed around the neck by a Carlton supporter, believed to be in his late 30s or early 40s, who pushed him back into his seat.
The man had grabbed Marcus with two hands and unleashed a foul-mouthed rant, one of several during the night, Ms Stephens said.
"I was absolutely disgusted that he laid his hands on a boy, you know, on a child. That's just unacceptable," Ms Stephens told radio station 3AW. "You just don't go to the footy and do that to anyone, let alone a child."
She said her son attended the match with his 11-year-old friend and his friend's mother, but Marcus did not raise the alarm during the match because he was terrified.
"He just sat there after it happened and basically didn't move," Ms Stephens said.
"He came home and was very upset when he told me. The sad thing about it is he said, 'Look, I don't think I want to go and watch another match', and all that he wanted to do was watch his favourite player, which is Ivan Maric for Richmond, and now that's spoiled."
She said the boys were sitting in the members' section but had moved back about eight rows during the rain and it was unclear whether they were still sitting in the members' section when the attack occurred.
Ms Stephens reported the incident to police.
A police spokeswoman confirmed officers were investigating an incident between two football fans, including a pre-teen boy, at the MCG on Saturday night. She said no one was injured.
Melbourne Cricket Club spokesman Shane Brown said the club only became aware of the incident this morning.
“It is very disappointing to hear that a young boy should have such an experience while at the MCG. We will be in touch with the boy’s family today to obtain further information,’’ he said.
“Our understanding is that a complaint was made to Victoria Police on Sunday. As there was no report or complaint made to our security team or event staff on Saturday night, we were unable to take any action at the time.
‘‘Patrons are able to send a text message to our control room from their seats, which enables us to respond promptly to potential incidents and, ideally, prevent a situation from escalating.”

Pretty ugly game for all concerned, Blues, Swans and umps, but as expected we were never really in it. Inability to impact the contest early in qtrs was crucial.
Well done Swans and good luck to Bolton.

Got in before you Matt.
