[Mr Steve 3,820]

Port should belt them next week but Port also don't have much ticker.

The final block at the end summed it up. 

Completely. If you can just run into someone and get a free kick with 2 minutes left on the clock and less than a kick in it, something’s horribly horribly wrong. Everyone sees it, and knows it. When will it become a properly discussed issue, scrutinised in the way it deserves? Amazing. 

[DeeZee 7,445]

Exciting game to watch but such a shame the umpiring was so poor.

We can’t go on like this. Clubs need to get together and call this out. It’s blatant cheating and it’s ruining the game. 

Both Geelong and Bulldogs are allowed to throw with almost total impunity.   So it is more than the free kick totals - it also includes the missed ones.

[Adam The God 30,413]

9+ free kicks for Bulldogs in hostile territory. They had all the tiggy touchwood ones go their way and some blatant ones missed against them.

They're a danger this year simply because they get such a wonderful run from the umpires.

I thought they'd be in trouble tonight given it was an away game, but they still smash it in frees. 

Astounding.

If I were a Brisbane supporter I would be spewing about that blocking free paid against McInerney at the centre bounce. He was basically penalised for using his ruck craft against a part time ruckman.  It was an awful call.

Losing by a rushed behind - rough way to end the season.

Surely none of those umpires get through to the PF stage, let alone the GF

Just imagine the ump favoritism if the Dogs make the GF again. It was sickening enough back in 2016. After tonight, it's clear they'll stop at nothing to get them over the line.

[Mickey 4,731]

That was two teams that don't know how to defend. Port should beat them next week

[At the break of Gawn 4,460]

Port would be licking their lips. Those two teams played a proper final and both got banged up.

Unfortunately for us, we’re playing a team who had a Sunday stroll last night with an almost standard home and away game.

I hope Port rape them. 

 

Please don’t ever use this phrase.

I know you don’t mean it literally, but it’s an awful turn of phrase.

 

[loges 6,767]

I'd like to see a commentator brave enough to call out the umpiring in Bulldogs games

[dazzledavey36 55,352]

29 to 18 free kicks dogs way.

Absolutely woeful performance by the umpires.

Game is in damage control.

[picket fence 17,502]

Every friggen week! If I it was us then I would be totally Livid

[Bring-Back-Powell 14,939]

If Port are half serious this year, they take care of the Dogs next week considering they’ve slept in the same bed for 3 weeks.

No surprise to see the Bulldogs and Cats on top of the freekick differential ladder for the year

Like Darcy? The guy was too busy cleaning up the mess under the commentator's desk to criticize anything that favoured his beloved Dogs.

[Jaded No More 68,974]

Imagine if that was us tonight on the losing end. You’d be burning the joint down. I’m so furious and I don’t even care that much!

We can beat the opposition, but we can’t beat umpires. Hope doggies don’t get any further so we don’t have to cop the bad umps. 60+ more free kicks than the next closest team. It’s outright cheating and cannot be argued any other way.

The umpires handed them the momentum for their final goal and final point. Legit won them the match. Cheats.

Can you not with the ‘rape them’

BURNING THE JOINT DOWN MUCH MORE THAN THAT

[layzie 34,000]

You just have to love Aussie Rules Footy folks. Yeah some poor umpiring but the real stars are those guys on the field and they played their hearts out. 

[Demon Disciple 12,274]

Deep breath. 

Lets take care of our game first, then worry about the Dogs and the umps after that

[Jaded No More 68,974]

Also this. Amateur hour at AFL house
