AFL manufactured result

Every year there's an AFL favoured team, in 21 it was us, last year clearly the Pies

Blues this year

Will be interesting to see who gets the rub when they play GWS or GCS

In the last 50 years, provide one instance when the VFL/AFL favored us?

    In the end, bad decisions usually even out over the course of a season.
     

    Try telling that to an Adelaide fan last year. One poor umpire decision cost them a spot in the finals

    Yes, yes, someone will say they shouldn't have left the finals spot up to one kick. Nevertheless that goal umpire knocked them out of finals contention

    He's an honest plodder is JJ. I remember someone on here predicted he was the next Pendleberry (or someone similar). I almost choked on my Cornies that morning.

    Yes it was a strange decision by JJ to leave and choose Sydney.  Swans have plenty of mids and also added Adams.  JJ is likely to be squeezed out again!!! I’m surprised he didn’t pick somewhere like the Crows or Hawks.

    I’m not sure of the rule but IMO the dissent free kick should’ve taken place in the centre square.

    I think it depends on when it was said, and how far back the ball was to the middle. I think there's this weird mid point where a free after a goal places the ball where they are on the field (or in the centre if it's team's defensive area), and then conversely where if a free kick is given it is out of the middle.

    Because I think it happened in the immediate aftermath of the goal it meant it gets taken where it happened.

    I've probably explained it poorly.

    You don't think the bye before '21 GF helped Maysie?

    Or that we were well established in WA during lockdown, whereas Bulldogs came from SA into isolation before the granny?

    Also Cotterill was allowed to play on from a free and goal when Freo players stopped and then with a few minutes to go and Dockers up, they got a free, played on to the wing and ready to go in and score and umpire brought it back. Carlton then got dodgy decision and win it.

    Game turning decision.

    I counted 5 consecutive game turning decisions in that period...miss one, maybe. Two, possible. But to miss 5 consecutively when the game was on the line...totally disgraceful.

    Ummm what?

    The pre grand final bye had nothing to do with May’s hamstring. It was in place long before we even made the grand final. It was there to enable the game to be played in WA according to their strict quarantine Covid rules. 

    As for the Dogs, they didn’t finish top 4 so didn’t get to pick where they wanted to play their “home” finals. They made the grand final the long way, by needing to play an away prelim against a side that finished above them. 

    I am really not sure how any of that was the AFL helping us. It would have been the same if Geelong, Port or Brisbane made the grand final instead.

    They were the away team for the Prelim so not much could be done there.

    had to duck out so missed the end of the Froe Carlton game. I've just watched the last 5 mins. 

    the touch would have been difficult for the ump to pick up.

    Jackson tapped a ball straight to the Carlton player to set up their go-ahead goal. One of the dumbest taps you will ever see. 

    Carlton are kissed on the [censored] this year. God help us all if they win a flag. I'll have to move overseas for a couple of months if it happens.

    Won't be once they put a chip in the ball for AFL games

    Potential to become a pandora's box

    It’s always horrible seeing Carlton win, but this one, that way, was just sickening.

    Due to the severity of that hammy injury I'm not sure the extra week made that much difference to his recovery anyway.

    Quite entertaining to watch the live ladder ATM, with Geelong and Melbourne separated by .1% and constantly swapping ladder positions.

    Geelong has an extremely soft fixture this year. Will be found out come finals time.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • 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.
