NON MFC: Rd 04 2021

[Straight Sets Simon 23,113]

As much as I despise Essendon they have been shafted badly by the umpires.

[Demonland 74,244]

Definitely touched before the line.

They can't buy a free. So many incorrect disposals or dropping the ball from the Swans in the past 5 minutes that weren't paid. 

[Demonland 74,244]

Last roll of the dice for the Bombers. 

[Demonland 74,244]

29 frees to 15 

[Monocology 1,109]

Hind - the player Frost wanted to be, the player Frost never was.

[Straight Sets Simon 23,113]

Bombers robbed by umpires.

[Demonland 74,244]

Swans and Bombers always play close games.

Case in point.

Agreed on both counts. Pains me to admit it but they got reamed.

That was my first look at the scum this season. They won’t be an easy 4 points.

Swans kicking was shocking. But loved seeing the bummers lose by under a goal. 

[trout 385]

Bloody average game, poor umpiring but great result. 

[Pickett2Jackson 3,904]

Swans and Geelong have both been given a win from the umpires.  Always the few same teams that keep getting the same gifts.

[dl4e 5,851]

So we will have another week of sydney being put on a pedastool by the media. Them and Carlton are the worst offenders.

[DubDee 26,548]

So sad to see the bombers lose by 3 points and get shafted by the umps.

IT IS SO SWEET!!

It does not get any more obvious and all 3 umps would have seen it clearly and decided to ignore the rule book. Expecting a response from the AFL on that one.

Not a great result really, if we are a serious threat and the jury is out, we want the top sides losing. 

[DubDee 26,548]

Easy to forget we are watching an all-time great in Buddy Franklin. Will kick a 1000 goals in an era when it should not be possible. And to add to that, he seems like a nice, down to earth guy 

how he never won a Brownlow is a disgrace. Best player of the past 20 years imo

[buck_nekkid 6,092]

Result suits us.  Bombers always as losers is good.  Swans are March premiers.  Swans will be media darlings this week and we can just go about our business of banking another 4 points...

hear what you are saying but if we are worrying about Sydney's results in our potential tilt, then we are in trouble.  We just keep winning and the ladder looks after itself

the ladder has never been Melbourne's friend.

In almost every year that we have made finals we have relied on results of other games to get us just that little higher

It's part of the MFC curse

Looks like Essendon aren’t going to be as bad as people thought they might be, it’s the best part of this time of year because you’re still finding out how good/bad a team really is. Case in point is us where we have won the first 3 but we’re still really waiting to see where we sit in the actual rankings. 

Credit to Sydney for managing to rebuild so quickly without having too long down the bottom. I know there’s a degree of enjoyment with seeing certain teams get shafted by the umps, but ultimately you just want a level contest that is purely decided on which team is better on the day/night.

To be honest though, I didn't think the contest tonight was all that fair

That makes no sense. A serious threat beats good teams. If we need others to lose to fall in, we’re no threat at all.
