1) Umpires gave them 3 goals. That's the game there. But....
2) Shocking kicking was the biggest reason. All those set shots missed and even easy on the run ones sprayed.
I never thought the current team would get into the grand final because there is just something missing to make them...
He could be that good. He is a catalyst, what this means to non science people is he gives others around him extra energy due to his efforts. Yes he is a fool at times but he doesn't stop trying (ala Dawson)
Subans best this season hasn't eclipsed Robinsons best but they are both still young...
Suban has had his best season at Freo this year. Mitch Robinson just single hanhedly won a final for Carlton. So they are both doing pretty good at the moment. Robinson has clearly had the better career to date though, not sure why people keep bringing this up when it's obvious Robinson has been...
Pretty poor. Biggest game for the club in a while, our highest paid midfielder, and 18 disposals? Thankfully we have players like Fyfe and Barlow able to step up and shoulder the burden so that bit players like Mundy can take that secondary role. Hill did fairly well today too I thought, and...
Agreed. I'm just saying if we lost this game by less than 4 goals it would be an absolute farce. The fact we won it with everything going against us just shows how much better Freo were.
Maybe maybe, but given the weakness of the shot it shows how weak Stevie J is if anything.
One of my girlfriends commented that if I ever went down with a shot like that she'd leave me.... that's not a "man" she said.
This exact same thing happened to a geelong player later in the game and was called a ball up. Which makes it even more puzzling. Everyone prefers finals games to NOT be over umpired but if they're going to ******* over umpire the game then be fair about it. That umpire who reported Dawson needs...
If Geelong weren't gifted those free kicks in front of goal they would have had 3.11 to half time and Freo would be 4-5 goals up.
Freo won with rigged umpiring on a hostile ground, it's great credit to the players.
Are you kidding me? At one stage freo had 1 free kick (another was an out on the full which doesn't really count) with minutes to go to half time. Meanwhile Geelong had 10. One umpire in particular was giving away soft s**t (the guy who reported Dawson).
Meanwhile Sandilands in getting mugged...
That first half was an absolute joke of umpiring. The second half was a lot better umpired but the umpires gave Geelong about 3 goals in the first half, and nearly could have been 5 or 6 if those players were accurate.
The most biased umpiring I've seen against Freo for a couple years.
The...
It's not so bad losing the first final anyhow. Gives more finals experience to the young team.
iirc Swans lost their first final in 05, they won the GF, in 06 WCE lost theirs and won.
