Need a little bit of schadenfreude after that so @Lucifers Hero what are they saying at Westlakes?

Relatively measured responses.  Selections from the early pages:

• good: top 6 pick
• Ugly:The green [censored] giving Melbourne free goals
• 6.13 at three quarter time.  Bad kicking is bad football
• Play away, look like s**t for periods, play like millionaires for parts, either get in front early and choke, or come from behind and still fall short.   Sick of it.
• I thought we'd get smacked today. That game sums us up really - poor at the crunch (when it counts), pretty good when not expected to be/allowed to be, ultimately not good enough. Season ended this time two weeks ago - play the kids.
• Although we lost and had shocking accuracy. We didn’t give up and fought to the death. That’s something to be proud of. We’ve lost by under a goal to Pies and Dees at the G.
• Umpiring. F me. They throw..., the most simple open blatant obvious holding the balls, no whistle…, they call the block on Sloane…, that 50m penalty with the late whistle and crouch played on straight away was extremely harsh.
• Which moron didn't pick Nankervis until now?
• There is absolutely no way that Poort Pear can win a GF against a Melbourne team with those umpires. They have to pray for a Brisbane Pear GF.
• I just love Tex. Deserves a premiership for the way he goes about it. He’s our Buckley. Legend with nothing to show for it.
• Been the same story most of the year. We've got as much guts, heart, grit, whatever you want to call it as you could hope for from any team. But my god we lack class and polish.
• A lot more good than bad.
• Viney’s free kick that was paid against Worrell is just about the worst free kick ever paid.
• s**t mids always making it hard for our forwards.. although our forwards shouldve converted their chances.
• Finals are done. Get games into the future and let's finally get a decent mid in the draft.
• Midfield did okay today but not the future of the club. Bare in mind they played Petracca mostly forward and as soon as he went in there late he won it and set up Gawn for the sealer.

My favourites:

• AI umpiring can't come quick enough. Get the cheats out of the game.
•  I really appreciate your commentary on the couple of minutes you bothered to watch.

 

When we were 30+ pts up I thought my prediction of about 40pts would be on the money.  Not to be.  They fought it out very well. 

We got the 4pts, consolidated 4th spot on the ladder, have ND4 in the bag so all in all a successful weekend!!

Twitter is absolutely awash with how Melbourne cheated and the umpires are biased towards us.  Obviously they missed the "touched" goal that wasn't touched, or the deliberate out of bounds paid against Melbourne that was done by the Crows.

No sympathy at all for these pencil necks.

In doing these threads I've found every club complains about the umpires. 

...Even Bulldogs supporters complain...go figure...even when they win the free kick count by some margin...

I was livid in my loungeroom re that "touched" goal... Even my darling ( magpie ) wife was aghast....agog...and downright confused...    ..  

I've lived in S.A.    they're parochial beyond  the pale.

Westlakes should probably move on now. Beat the Suns in  game you should win and impress the previous week's opposition fans.

I still haven't forgiven the umpires for the non deliberate OOB at Adelaide oval in 2021. (But I suppose all ended well)

@Lucifers Hero I think we need a separate “what are they saying at Fremantle” thread with all the melts over their season and lack of draft picks.
