Needs to be top 4 play a final to decide who makes the GF. Otherwise you end up with percentage kicking people from a GF which doesn’t sit right with me co spidering the different conditions the teams all play in.

Where are Mithen and Cranston going?

Two very very dubious free kicks in it! FFS last year miss in percentage, this year by 2 fun king points.

Seems the ump is trying to repay us now.

Game over due to the [censored] umpire!

Or that free. Even the commentators are saying it’s highly questionable.

If anyone can tell me what that free was for you are doing better than me. FFS

How’s the [censored] commentator stating the dogs are two quarters from a grand final constantly, stating it like fact. Get [censored] [censored] wit!

They don’t pay any number of rules. They do pay random frees that are completely at odds with the standards set in that game. It is usually the case but is really obvious in the women’s game.

Clearly missed us being held last quarter but have found it this quarter. Goes with the umpiring in the girls game, is always highly questionable.

One of these dogs girls is more of a ducker that that prat from Brisbane.

Faaaaark. A few frees (they seem to come in spurts in the women’s game) and we are losing structure

Have said from day 1 that the AFL is inept, especially with drugs in their sport. It seems they like to continually prove me right!

Perfect example. That Brodsky player was taken out the same way many many players have been all night but she got a free and shot on goal. Thankfully missed. It is just odd

One thing that puzzles me with the girls game is the umpiring. Are these the same umps as used in the men’s? What I have noticed is that a lot of really obvious fr es aren’t paid and then all of a sudden a soft one is plucked out of no where. It generally isn’t biased one way or the other but is just odd.

No ideas what the rules are but gee they got a few penalties in a row there, was it BS or was it illdicipline

Was a bit of an audible boo on the telly. Not huge but to many people celebrating the win and the AFL didn't pump him up at all in the announcement. It was kind of ' AND THE NORM SMITH IS BEING PRESENTED BY james hird AND THE WINNER IS DUSTY' and then Hird was ussered away. On the ETC in general. It annoys me they are still in the league, it frustrates me they think the AFL did wrong by them when the AFL has bent over to protect them and continues to do so. I refused to watch them this year and saw one quarter of their game against us and that was it for the year. I will continue to not watch or go to games that they are involved in.

Hogan didn't actually touch the ball though, he tried and missed. Hogans was for less clear than Gawns andt Gawns wasn't paid. How about Pedo and Garlett both clearly held with out it and not paid. Ridiculous.

Three missed frees for dipped and shepherding from a marking contest and they get a goal. [censored] these umps are crap!

Clearly we can be tackled without the ball. Especially in the forward line. Both Pedo and Garlett clear as day in 30 seconds of play, neither paid

Good to Matheson is still a ducking little mungrel, glad to see the umps not paying it though, although they are paying everything else.

It wasn't so much Max going down that exposed us, it was Spencer! No idea how King is going but we also have Filipovic who is a few years off yet. If we can keep Spencer around until Filipovic is ready then we should be fine. The chances of loosing two ruckmen is pretty low, for it to happen twice would be astonishing.

Depends who asks for the meeting. It may well only apply to free agents but if the player asks to meet with the club then there is no issue at any time. The rule bans the clubs from contacting the players (as in making first contact), it doesn't ban the player from talking to clubs.

Agreed. You can mount a very strong case that we were out marked on the weekend due more to the delivery coming in than the act of the defender. In reality both were at play but the defenders life gets so much harder when the delivery is coming in with little no no pressure, which is down the mids who had a very off day pressure wise. Clearances are a useless stat when looking at pressure as it is only the clearance, it doesn't show if the ball was then turned over and run down the other end with little or no pressure, and pressure is what makes the delivery bad and makes the back men be able to do their job better. Using the number of times a team scores per 50 entry is also useless unless you add the number of entries into 50. In reality the back 6 press up to around our half forward line, if they are working well with the mids and putting the pressure on the number of inside 50 for the opposition drop, but the may score easily if they actually get there.

Buggy has kicked another eleventy hundred behinds as well!
