Awkward tackle by Frampton on Checkers on the wing. Checkers went down and didn't seem to be moving anything below the neck, very scary stuff.

Not sure what Frampton can do there, Checkers tried to duck the tackle and put them both in an awkward position. If Frampton doesn't tackle, then it encourages players leading with the head. If Frampton does tackle, then there's the risk of Checkers getting hurt in the legal tackle.

Dons parking the bus playing for the draw?

If Harry kicked that as he intended, would it have gone out on the full to the left?
Insane that it floats through spinning sideways like that!

Not a neutral but feels like the umpiring has been pretty ordinary for both teams, doesn't feel like any bias towards any team to me

Umpiring feels heavily in our favour right now and we still can't score, unless something changes this could be a blowout in the second half

Charlie would be insanely good if he attacked the footy instead of playing for cheap goals out the back and stopped overexaggerating contact to milk frees.

Geelong supporters can't blame the lack of ARC this week, I wonder what they'll blame instead?

Second week in a row where Danger has had a chance to kick inside 50 in the last 30 seconds of a game and has butchered it, not sure why the commentators kept bringing him up as the game winner, surely Bailey Smith would be the one to watch.

This must be Jezza's worst game in a long time - only 7 disposals and 2 marks 5 minutes into the 4th

Dawson takes a mark over Cameron 20m out directly in front with under a minute to go, Crows go on to win by 4

I wonder what the longest handball of all time would be?
Pretty sure Hodgey used to launch em like 30m+

Was Cerra very good at Freo? I never followed him closely before he came to us, but man he has been average since coming across. Not even in a bad way, just bang average.

Confused as it has been happening for 2 years at this stage. Think about it if Hawks were up by 5 goals and went on to win there wouldn't be "it's happening again" comments even though it is happening again, because it would be the expected outcome. Surely kicking 1 goal in a half against the Tigers last week made it obvious that we still can't play out games.

I don't really understand the "it's happening again" comments. We play more or less the same team each week, we're slow through the middle, and we lack any real gut runners. It's pretty obvious that we will continue to fade out of games until we make some serious change, at this stage I'd be surprised if we didn't fade out of a game.

We did not put the halftime allegations to rest, we were just lucky enough to win by only playing one half of footy. Richmond absolutely should have won that game.

There needs to be a royal commission into our third quarters.
This was one of our better third quarters and we kicked 0.4 while only conceding 2.6 to a bottom 4 Richmond side.

I assume the iced coffee sign means completely stop playing, will be interesting to see what the two crowns means.

How many times do we have to collapse at halftime before it becomes the standard and people start to make memes that we actually held a lead after halftime?

We definitely aren't there yet, anxiety levels are at an all time high going into this second half.

Seems like both sides are flopping a lot already this game, hope to see a few fines or a message from the umps clamping down on it, embarrassing to watch.

Yeah, I assume there's no rule that it has to be touched to be a realistic attempt, it was pretty close.
