Luckiest side in the footy world.  

I’m not sure how lucky it is when you consistently get the umpiring advantage. I just don’t get how this keeps happening. It’s an objective embarrassment. 

 

Port must be licking their lips

The final block at the end summed it up. 

2016 being repeated is a decent bet.

 

What happened to "putting the whistle away" in finals? You don't see that many [censored] free kicks pulled out of thin air in H&A!

Brisbane have every right to be seething over that. I've never seen a more blatant example of match fixing from umpires than tonight's game, and they got the result they wanted.

Gee that was as deliberate as you’d like, umps decided that one big time.

 

 


Great game.

We’ve got no hope if the Dogs beat Port.

And we play the AFLs love child

Was about to post the same thing.
Usually finals umpiring is better that the H&A.


Looking towards next week I’m a little nervous, the umpires two favourite teams in Bulldogs and Cats through to prelim, we’re going to have to make sure we’re 10 goals up in the last quarter. 😓

Edited by Males

So a physically exhausted Bulldogs, minus Weightman and Bont vs Port. Could be one sided.

And Lions out in straight sets again - is that two years in a row?

Edited by monoccular

Felt for the Big Oscar Mac, he was one of their best and after 100 ruck contests he gets done for a block in the last centre bounce. How stiff!


Umpires [censored] the bed late.

That wasn't a mark to Bont, clearly second to the ball.

That shouldn't have been a free kick against McCarthy, jostling like that in the forward line happens all the time.

And was that really a block free kick against McInerney?

(meanwhile Zac Bailey might have ran too far for his goal at the end...)

Gotta get past their other love child next week 1st.

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.

Please don't use language like that

That was a great game of footy.

Same thing happened at almost every centre bounce. Was only called a free kick when the umps needed to help the Dogs over the line (and it proved the crucial point that got them home).


Great game despite the umpiring. Proper finals football. Lions and their supporters will be filthy

Meanwhile Brisbane over the last three years have finished top 4 three times for a 1-5 record in finals (all bar one of those finals have been at the Gabba) and two straight sets exits.

 

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. 

That was a decent final ....and then there was last night's match 😮

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

  • AFLW REPORT: St. Kilda

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
