NON-MFC: Semi Finals

[Sideshow Bob 2,498]

Stuff it if they're going to pay the free kicks this way - might as well actually tackle properly and hurt them instead of laying out  a soft mattress and still getting pinged

entertaining contest

[Happy Jack 197]

As a Redlegs supporter for 60 years, seeing the wharfies ripped by the umps is sweet sweet music (please forgive the mixed metaphor)

[BoBo 2,956]

So is that hawthorn player going to be reported for staging? Isn’t staging a reportable offence? 
 

 

[dees189227 12,523]

Stupid foxtel box decided to reset through that quarter.  Lost about 5 minutes if play

[DubDee 26,707]

Not often you see the umpiring blatantly change the course of a game in a final. 

Should be 36 - 15.

Disgraceful dangerous tackle free kicks

Port have smashed them

[The heart beats true 18,201]

That last second goal has every fan on every footy forum saying…

’I thought we were the only ones who gave up red time goals!’.

[BDA 23,048]

hawks have settled after umps got them back into the game

Port very flakey as we know. I reckon this is a 50/50 game now

Impey for holding his head?

He should be. 

pathetic

[DubDee 26,707]

If we take aggressive tackling out of the game especially in finals we might have broken the game

[Earl Hood 6,167]

The tackle is dead! The Hawks have kicked one legitimate goal, the rest were rubbish free kicks in front of goal. FFS we are playing a cut throat final and you can’t tackle a forward in your defensive 50 with the intent to stop the forward getting boot to ball or a pass out to a team mate.

i hear ya mate but my dislike of the hawks far outweighs Port. 

Hawks just came off 4 flags 9 years ago

They can [censored] right off

Oh I meant the hawks player that touched his head to the ground in the 2nd ‘dangerous tackle’. It happens every week and I don’t see how it isn’t staging?

A player is pretending to do an action to fool an umpire into giving a free… kinda sounds like staging to me but nothing happens.

completely agree

I was talking about when JHF lightly tugged Impey’s shirt and he fell to the ground and grabbed his head. 

blatant staging

Spot on. Umpires 8 and 11 rubbish.

BS. It could happen to Collingwood.

[Sideshow Bob 2,498]

Finding myself barracking hard for Port on the back of the blatant head office/umpiring decisions 

Hope they win the [censored] thing now

[dees189227 12,523]

Whoever wins tonight I cannot see them beating Sydney next week

Hawthorn can, if they bring the same umpires.

[BDA 23,048]

i doubt its possible not to tackle watson head high.

How did the field & boundary umpire miss that ball being out?

[ElDiablo14 5,061]

How could so many Hawthorn supporters get tickets to an interstate game?

[dees189227 12,523]

Did umpire Brett Rosebery go off injured or something?
