They painted the story beautifully, includes all the moments Ess fans were getting irate. If they didn't include them everyone would be saying "of course afl doesn't show the questionable umpiring", good on them for exposing debatable calls. Ps Hawks fan here, I agreed with a lot of the umps decisions anyway, Cats better on night

Yep. Didn’t show any of the dubious decisions that favoured Essendon in the 2nd quarter. And I think the only Essendon goal they didn’t show was the one from that bs mark in front of goal, where he never once had control. Fox obvs trying to keep a ‘story’ afloat.

Much needed win for the Cats in the context of their season! 💙🤍 Congratulations on Dyson Heppell on 250 games, such a good bloke and player.

For those whinging about the rushed behind. Dempsey gives up as soon as he sees Menzies charging towards the goal line. To me Menzies expected the tackle to come from Dempsey. He checks over to see if Close is close, but as if Menzies has eyes in the back of his head to see what Dempsey is doing. In that situation you'd expect the tackle to come. It was a win-win situation there for the cats. Massive brain IQ play from Dempsey that just so happened to pay off.

Fair enough if you usher the ball out for a behind but you can’t clearly gain control of the ball and run 5 or 6 metres through the goal! In what world is that a “perplexing decision “? It doesn’t get punished enough, great to see it being paid

Go! Cats!

The Bombers are the most overrated team in the AFL, but did cop some shocking umpiring decisions in this game.

Let's be real: The Bummers are an imitation top-four team. They'll be lucky to still be in the top eight by season's end.

Showing every decision that Essendon whinged about in the highlights, as if the umpires were to blame for them losing 😂 Umpires have been terrible all year including some shocking decisions against Geelong and for Essendon in various games. If you start showing every “debatable decision” in highlights of games like they’ve done here you’ll be here a long time. Geelong were the better team, end of story.
