AFL Rd 3 2023 Post Game Prognostications Giants vs Carlton

[madbluboy]

The Giants are also not happy with some of the blocking and holding on Toby Green so hopefully we don't get penalised too much on Friday.

Imagine if Durdin HAD kicked the goal, all clear, dissent, the kick in the square...and two goals waved instead of 1 goal / 1 point. Just lucky it was against the Giants who have minimal fans and relatively no presence on social media! Would have been much more fun if it was Essendon!!!

I imagine that we're not too happy with the treatment that Harry, Charlie and Crippa received ... but we're unlikely to whinge about it.

What do the Giants think about the blocks Greene put on our defenders?

Imagine we got penalised against the Bombers and it was Sam Docherty who asked the question which cost us the game. Then the AFL and Essendon supporters were smearing him calling him a serial whinger.
Imagine this place, Imagine our club's response, Imagine the next time we played them.

The AFL are just lucky the Giants have no fans.

The problem with that scenario is that Docherty isn't a serial dissenter and Vossy would have his guts for garters if he gave away a goal like that.

The reason Coniglio's venomous dissent is still newsworthy is that most commentators and at least 75% of football supporters hate it when we win.

My wife's cousin is a passionate GWS supporter. Attends every game at home and often travels. They have a small core of strong supporters.
She sent us a message straight after the game.
"Congratulations to the Blues on the win"
No mention at all of the dissent free kick.

Yep
As if we're going to hear anything other than ...'GWS wuz robbed" from opposition supporters.

It's hard to know how we would have felt had the shoe was on the other foot.
Right now, a couple of days later, I'm thinking some of us would probably have been angry with the player, but that's not in the emotion of the moment.
At the time it may very well have been anger at the umpire.

What I do know is that if a Carlton player is pinged for dissent in the next game he won't get much sympathy.
They're all on notice.

I suspect that dissent will have been a topic discussed at 18 team meetings this week.

Venomous dissent ? No way.

They were robbed....thats the general perception of everyone bar Carlton supporters and a lot of them think we got lucky.
