NON-MFC: Round 8, 2022

[Diamond_Jim 12,503]

Early night with a good book

AFL really putting some snooze fests on Friday nights

[Stevienic23 1,183]

I can't recall Robbie Gray ever tearing us apart. 

[Rod Grinter Riot Squad 5,654]

Hope Port win this, have a healthy degree of disgust at the Dogs and constant playing for free kicks, the hate-meter is rising towards these cheats

[Sir Why You Little 36,894]

Why do Footscray get so many SOFT Frees. It is outrageous 

 

[Demon Disciple 11,998]

So Port defender deliberately kicks it to space and goes out.(no insufficient called), Port ruckman deliberately hits it out from a contest (not called), then the most contentious of them all gets called deliberate. The only thing umpires are consistent with is their inconsistency.

LOL at Dogs defence, how Powell-Pepper could be allowed to mark that on chest in goal square beggars belief!

[DubDee 25,433]

Dogs tried for 10 mins. 

easy 8 goal win coming up for Port

Dogs are the most mentally fragile team in the league

[Rab D Nesbitt 8,336]

Tasty game over in Adelaide. If Port get up the Dogs will probably need to win 10 of their last 14 games just to fall into the 8.

I’ve got a conspiracy theory:

When there is a Goal review (where the goal umpire asks for help from upstairs) quite often the resulting decision from upstairs is made almost instantly after the TV commentators have just given their summation / opinion of what they believe the correct decision will be. It’s literally a couple of seconds. And they’re always now on the same page, having same decision on what has occurred – but in previous years they never used to be.

So BT is the ARC? God save us all

How was that not play on with the floppy, terrible umpiring 

[Graeme Yeats' Mullet 6,772]

3 Frees to dogs in that last 60 seconds of play...

Should have received 7 I think 🤔 

[monoccular 17,408]

Great to see the faux handpass after a mark / free being called play on.  
And even better a free against the Dogs for holding the ball. 
 

PS and now a second one.  🤗🤗🤗

Pity it isn’t paid consistently.

Dogs have received 3 frees in marking contests in last 5 mins, where marks would have been paid

Still frees are PA 16 : 11 WB

Good to see Dogs getting a raw deal, but this is pretty blatant

Despite how putrid Port has been for most of this year, Sam Powell-Pepper has been just about the only one of them who hasn't dropped off, and has actually turned into a useful footballer rather than just a battler.

[dees189227 12,361]

Gee freo and brisbane may get some major % this round. 

This game could get very ugly for nth. 

But port dogs game isn't that bad. at least it's close. 

[Fritta and Turner 4,286]

Dogs missing E Wood 😁

What are you reading Jim?
If I may ask

[monoccular 17,408]

Dogs defence looking very short.  Worth playing balls against them?

[pitmaster 3,512]

Blatant itb Naughton but oh well, you play for the Dogs so take your shot.

Really? Fritter destroyed him in the Grannie.

[Jaded No More 68,835]

The only thing the Dogs have been freed from since the Grand Final, is the ability to win. 

[monoccular 17,408]

Geezzz . Port could / should have buried the Dogs by now.

Just saw 4 throws by the Dogs in a space of seconds not penalised.

It’s like shotgun crime in the USA

Nobody notices them anymore!!

[Rod Grinter Riot Squad 5,654]

So many examples of umpire dissent, not paid once
