Your goal Sparrow [censored]

Cudos to the afl and sorting out the three affected games and finding new venues and time slots in such a small window. Now let's [censored] the suns!!!

He did a hammy last week.

Pretty happy we got out of QLD with no injuries though before finals.

So if we play tomorrow it will need to be really early so we can get a flight to Perth to serve our 7 day quarantine in time for a Sunday night game the following week? We should just stay in Melbourne as the Eagles are already here and play at their choice or venue in vic ;)

Go crows, norf & hawks.

I appreciate your kind words but I kind of feel you jinxed us here haha

To be fair it will directly impact Port, swans, giants and bombers all vying for finals/top 4.

Was sitting here watching the presser and said exactly the same thing. Every lockdown we have had starts at 6pm. Cannot see the reasoning to start at 4.

I can't see how we will be able to fly out from GC to Perth tonight.

Well [censored]. There goes our chance to go to a game. [censored] covid.

Big game in the context of our season. The sun's list is full of talent and will certainly take it up to us. Can easily see this game being close for 3 qtrs until we break away to win by 4 goals in the last.

Yep taking my 6 year old to our first game of the year.

Listen to goodys presser from yesterday. The guy could get 3 kicks for the year and still hold his spot.

Geewhiz.... We would win 3 flags with this guy at the helm.

Really hoping it's metricon as well, just so I can finally get to a game this year. I was in Melbourne for 2 games this year and couldn't go due to snap lockdowns

Sorry old dee.. but that was without a doubt one of the worst most biased umpiring against us I have ever seen. I really suggest you go back and watch some of the calls, non calls and [censored] make up as they go calls we were subjected to in that game. (I have) Look at how often we got pinned for down the field free kicks with the slightest contact, and have a look how many were paid our way. Have a look at the how HTB was educated so differently between the two sides. Have a look how little contact needed to be made at the bottom of a pack for a free to be called against us with non coming our way. That game was 100% determined by the umpiring. Either they are completely incompetent at their job or their was direction for the dogs to win.

You're forgetting the stat that lost us the game... 11-25

For the entire finals series they were +31

100% agree Melksham is also quite potent 1 out and can play midfield minutes. I think Melksham and Trac should be doing what Caddy and Dustin were doing in the tigers 17 finals campaign. 70-30 midfield forward for tracc swapping directly with melk.

JJ looks like he is slowing down, LJ might need a rest for a few weeks. Harmes has been pretty bad. Viney looks like he is getting some touch back, no way does he go out. The game becomes more contested with less space in finals and the end or the year, I'd like to get more experience in the team finding form before finals. I think a fresh Melksham and Jones could be exactly what our team needs.

Top 4 is completely in our hands. We win we cannot lose our top 4 spot. Who cares what the Sydney and Brisbane need to do it's null and void if we win.

So disappointing, our kicking for goal was gross. Umpires 110% had bearing on the result. Woeful. Absolute must win the next 3 games to lock away top 4. Let's see how we respond.

The free kicks are the difference in this game.

This umpiring is beyond deplorable. I get the umps will make mistakes but the [censored] bulldogs can do as they please knowing they have protection from the maggots.
