leave it to deever

Watched the first half of the replay yesterday and the umps really gave a lot of frees in that half to cats that resulted in goals. Most of them were awarded in the middle. But the three insufficient intents or whatever you call them were way off. Especially Gus's in the last min of the game. What motive could he have had ....we were losing. Also there were a couple of cats ones that just were not called. Umpiring was very inconsistent and as such very poor. Also watching the game live I thought we were playing really poorly in that onslaught. But watching the replay we didn't seem to be doing too much wrong apart from not sticking the odd tackle and poor communication. Cats just got on top of the centre clearances and got a good run from umps . Danger was on fire and Hawkins was getting on top. Having dangerfield off in the last qrt for a while really helped us out. He is an awesome player. Tmac had an absolute shocker but not playing for a while it was understandable. We need him back in some kind of form. I also thought the umps were not paying htb on cats players going to ground and rolling over on it. Funny I thought no crowd would make a difference with the umps. Maybe it did.😮 Gee Max may have been average early on but wow did he storm home. Full credit to Oliver for kicking true for once. You too Max.

If we beat Lions and Port win and then cats win their second final we play Geelong again in a prelim....is this correct?

I knew the two points from the Hawks draw would come in handy.

Cool headed enough to kick to max and not go the torp. Experience counts.

I reckon that win would have gutted cats fans. It was theirs to lose and they are so used to winning at kardinia. Oh well😁

We all were in spirit mate. We will remember this one forever and hopefully talk about how it contributed to a flag. Been so long since we have been minor premiers and what a way to do it. Ill never know you posters but i felt last night after the win i kinda do. Enjoy the day sons and watch the replay if you can.

Gotta say it was strange danger was off the ground for so long in the last. Thanks Scott.

Goal after the siren from a 50 m penalty is the ultimate revenge and sweetest of wins. Yummy yummy yummy I've got footy in my tummy.

Bbb may not be smashing the scoreboard( he's going ok) but he's certainly providing a target and stopping teams from intercept marks. Made a big difference I reckon since he's been in.

He did but i thought he and oliver were the only real standouts in the first half for us.

I wonder if they were talking about Maxys goal shooting?

And the time delay in waiting for cats ruckman to jog down to our forward line for a ruck contest.

Still feeling it.

I thought the 50 m penalty was rough but kinda made up for the two shocking insufficient intents on May and Gus.

There is no way you were not alone. All the commentators too had us done and dusted. That was one of the comebacks of the century. Not just the score but at kardinia park. I was an inch away from turning it off and im sure many did. So thank you Mfc for the never say die attitude and win. The quote of the night... " This game was over but nobody told Melbourne"

Tmac has been out for two weeks so he gets some slack. Besides has been a been a big part of our success. Did drop off in form prior to injury but i reckon he has to stay. Hell get form back.

Without Jvs efforts in the first half we would have lost.

Not sure if i like adelaide. We might all get stuck there and have to play port.

Just checking in to make sure i didnt dream all that.

But the perfect fifty m penalty.

It wasnt easy ...i though my eyes were playing tricks.

When the ump called that deliberate i was screaming but then the fifty m penalty and it was hello. When Max marked i was scared. Great call from lever not to go the barrel. Im still shocked.

I cant even understand how we won this. I mean what did we do...who stood up more...or did cats slow down. I dont even care. I cant sleep. This is the best come from behind win ever.

How many of us were about to switch this game off....some surprised supporters in the morning.

Max for prime minister.
