...of course the player will need to do this whilst saying "Brrain, Brrrainnnnnnnn"

Are there even any tell tale signs of half a brain in Jeff Geischen's head.

He really shouldnt bother with his inane, illogical and unjustifiable explanations.

I have had a few days to collect my thoughts and think about the game with less emotion attached and I still come away with the view that we were robbed. The amount of incorrect umpiring decisions against us has unfairly cost us a prelim spot. Especially, when we had all the momentum. This happens so constantly in WA that I can't believe opposing teams don't put in formal complaints. I normally don't bleat about the umpires but Sat night was a farce. And to top it all off, we get this ridiculous explanation from Gieshen about the Walker incident and we are meant to just simply cop it. Chances at premierships don't come around too often which makes it even more disappointing.

Footy Gods definitley did not help us.

Cox played half a game the week before, this week he plays a full game. Do not be surprised against the cats he fails to run the game out.

The goals they scored when Robbie was right on the line, may have been goals but if they were there was centremeters in it.

Kerr had to come back this week.

Josh Kennedy looked gone, almost subbed off, comes back on and plays well.

Our injured player leaves in an ambulance

Our long shot on goal supposingly touched on the line

Murphy slung after his handball should have been down field resulting on a shot at goal

No Gibbs, Kruze, Waite - they vertually had there best side

Gibbs getting injured with 2 minutes to go against the scum

Chamberlan had to umpire our game

With all the above against us we showed true grit that we should all be very proud off.

And the amazing thing is we looked gone so many times. The size of WC bodies smashed us and looked likely to wear us down for an easy win.

Massive testament to the fitness of the team and their courage and commitment.

It is really a farcical explanation from a incompetent fool.

The fact that Geischen backed the decision makes me more sure that it was wrong.

He is using classic diversion tactic. If you don't like the answer, change the question.
The question wasn't whether Glass held Walker, although he did. The question was whether he impeded Walker so that Walker was denied a fair chance to mark the ball. By giving a mumbo-jumbo answer about what constitutes a hold, Asswipe Geischen has just given a catchphrase to the bogans and no-shows.

"But it wasn't a hold. He had the back of his hand on Walker's back"

I just can't express how stupid this man is.

No amount of whingeing about how we were robbed is going to change anything.

Time to get over it and move on.

BTW, for anyone who doubts whether we can bounce back in 2012-2013 from what has been a 48 hours from hell, here's some perspective.

Interestingly the cats had a shocker the next year. maybe they were heartbroken a la St kilda this year.

Hmmm. Quite right.

For the sakes and purposes of this exercise, let's just forget that year ever happened shall we?

I have cooled down since Saturday's game......

We did not win, because we were not good enough....

1. Murphy's two (2) easy missed goals
2. Simpson's easy missed goal
3. Davies' undisciplined drag in front of goal, for another goal
4. No MC creativity to get Judd into the game and to get Selwood off him....

Yes, umpiring was not great, but great sides win in spite of the umpiring....

A Premiership next year is not negotiable....

Our time is now.......

what year?

In some ways makes it even harder to take. When is our finals luck gonna change ? Probably if and when we field close to our best team in next year's finals series, and if we can play both of them at the G. So its top 4 or bust.

well that fell flat

Interesting picture in the Hun yesterday on the confidential pages of the EJ Whitten Poker Tournament.

Our Murphy is in the pic with Ang, Cranium, The Dominator and a few others.

The pic was taken before he flew to Perth, but in the pic Murphy is wearing shorts and what looks to be a knee brace on his right knee. You can't really see it in this picture as opposed to the picture that appeared in the paper



Have to wonder if that impeded his kicking on Saturday night.

Murph wore a knee brace on the plane too
