We do have to acknowledge the umpiring, too. Sparrow's fourth quarter goal came after two massive throws from Brown and Fritsch. We got a really good run with 50/50% decisions in the first quarter, too.
But then again, they got a goal early from a mark that was further out of bounds than the Higgins goal last week, and they got a goal from the Rozee flop that should never have been a free.
And they can't blame the umpires for Ratugolea's brain fade.
Don't forget Dixon's "chopping the arms" free directly in front 12 metres out. It was a clear punch of the ball by Tmac or Petty.

To be fair, I think they've also relaxed the rule to allow some 'natural arc' rubbish that pretty much means you can run off your line the same as if you are playing on and make it almost impossible to umpire as well.
Yep, just another area of greyness added into the game. I think it was pretty much the Buddy Franklin rule to start with.
Gotta look after the super stars

Now you might say the bounday ump's view may have been obscured at the critical moment, but I recall a field ump was just a few metres away on the boundary on the other side facing the ball. I can understand umps making mistakes in difficult situations, but amazed they can't get the simple things right. For example, in the Casey match a player kicked a goal after the siren after going 2m off his line.
Charlie Dixon went off his line with his set shot after the siren as well.

I was lol-ing ‘til one of them threw a bottle of water at me from his car while I was waiting to cross at the lights. Unfortunately he was a good shot, it hit me in the head. But some decent Port supporters made sure I was ok and I ended up walking the rest of the way with them. More importantly though…
YEAH THE MIGHTY DEES!!!
This was one of those matches that you know already you’re never gonna forget. So, so proud of our boys.
And so happy for Jack. ❤️💙
I tellsya, little Chloe has the Jack Viney stare.
I reckon she'll be a champ for us.
Jack said after the game she's a firecracker. 😜
Hope you're alright wcw.
Was it a ford escort or a Camira he was driving?
Enjoy Adelaide. All jokes aside, it's a great city.

Agree, he just stopped mid tackle after the whistle and went limp, reneged in his duty of care for himself. If he’d tried to continue to stand up or use his core no way would he have gone down like that. Umpire fell for it unfortunately.
So that was a gifted goal from an original Dee's free kick and Dixon was given a gift for an arm chop 10 metres out when the ball was clearly punched out of his hands.
It's not just the count, it's where they're paid.
Anyways, one of the best grinding wins in the last 3 years. Such a great win.
ANBs best game I reckon. Great hearing him talk about Yzes coaching in telling him to slow a little and take a breath when he has posession. His disposal has improved out of sight.
Good teams just get it done. They belted that team song out so loudly.
We seem to be really tight as a team and club right now.
Put me down as a doubter. I didn't think Tmac and BBB would be fit and fast enough but wow they're making a difference.

GAMEDAY: Rd 04 vs Adelaide
in Melbourne Demons
We missed three set shots in a row at the end.
We could have iced it.
You don't want them anywhere near us in the last with that crowd.
We converted so well last week.
Need to convert this last quarter or we'll be in strife.
Jack Billings kicking seems as bad as Maxies
