Oppo Camp The Preliminary Finals

[Collingwood pro]

Holding the ball is one of the worst rules right now,forget rolling mauls. How that was holding the ball defies reality, when did he even have opportunity at all.

 

[SApies]

Because Port might have got up

Actually do believe this...I don't think they would've made that call in ANY other prelim final with the scores so tight and so little time left. Absolute joke! All game they got the calls from those cheats!

As gross as it sounds, I hope the Swans smash those pricks next week!!

 

[Da Main Man]

see if Bally was playing for Port they would have won by 3.

Epic last 10 mins.

 

[PeterMc06]

Same margin as when we beat Hawthorn in 2011. Dare say if Hawks play how they played today they will be absolutely thumped next Saturday.

 

[danielnajdek]

Port should've had a shot after the siren. The hawk player dragged it in but the ump didn't pay the holding the ball.

And I hope they are, they're tossers to say the least.

As I said... this Port team reminds me of the 2007-2010 Pies..

This prelim lost is a heart break... reminds me of the 2009 Cats/Pies game...

In 2015... Port completes the circle and wins it all? lol

They are actually fun to watch and reminds me of the courageous Pies team of 2007-2010.... that went downhill after winning it all... 2011 they were second best all season long.


I hate hawks so much, that umpire who called that HTB needs to be scrutinized, one of the worst calls ever...

Lake dives on the ball and no free kick there.

 

[KJpie]

Hawks v Swans GF, may the best team bring their own umpire.

Hilarious quote, what a pisser.

Literally not even a minute before...holding the ball. lol AFL

 

[Vankri]

Absolutely unbelievable HTB decision in the last minute. And the second quarter was extremely biased umpiring that got the Hawks back in the game. It may have got Hawks the win and that is unacceptable.

 

[ThisIsJake]

Probably the game of the year. Prelim's never disappoint.

if you dive on it you give up your right to proir and must knock it out or show a genuine attempt. thing is i dont reckon he really dove on it, and as always it's bloody hard to get it out or show a genuine attempt when you've got a 100 kilo bloke sitting on you. rule needs fixing.

 

[KJpie]

Roughead in a league of his own. Awesome player

Played a great game, if he kicked as poorly as he had in recent years in finals the result would have been very different.

 

[CasuallyDressed]

Probably the game of the year. Prelim's never disappoint.

There always seems to be one cracker and one fizzer.

On the Swans next year.

 

[jimmy35]

Great game. That's a fair old standard for our boys to aim at.

 

[SuperSub17]

That was such a good game, but it was a shame I couldn't enjoy it due to the blatant favouritsm Hawthorn got - especially towards the end there.

Disgusting.

 

[Good_Old]

So many tinfoil hats.

Wonder if there will be any Port supporters crying "right in front of me".

Not to mention Lake did the same thing in the last 30 seconds and had prior.

He dived downwards to pick up the ball.. in which the port player got tackled immediately... that gif clearly shows he dived to pick up, got up... then got tackled down.

Some people in the general board arguing it was the right call... that gif shows the evidence.

Its not just that, its the inconsistency that the rule has been interpreted.

Disgusting.

Ports bad kicking was a bigger factor than the 'favouritism'

 

[MooreTreloar]

Hope Koch comes out questioning the umpires. Disgraceful effort by Hawthorn's 23rd, 24th & 25th men.

 

[danielnajdek]

Great game. That's a fair old standard for our boys to aim at.

We are way off.

 

[HenrikLundqvist]

Great game. That's a fair old standard for our boys to aim at.

We can't even execute a switch.

 

[Demonalke]

We can't even execute a switch.

Toovey muffs it to H who muffs it to Adams who muffs it to Pendles who gives an awesome pass to Cloke... who muffs it. (my memory of the year)
