Honestly, this whinging about the umpiring? I thought the umps were great...

Yep, same here. 3 or 4 decisions that could be questioned over the entire game, but they did a good job.

Seriously, I have just about reached the point where I am fed up with all the umpire bashing on this forum and it is getting me down.

There shouldn't be a quota for free kicks. I thought, for the most part, the umpires were good.

Exactly

The swans were very lacklustre in their attack on the footy

Apart from 2 or 3 dog ducks that were paid high, it was good umpiring

The winner of the close Prelim once again salutes a week later.

and two or three Dogs sliding into legs, including putting Hannebery out of the game.

 

[Thaihawk]

Which is why I don't understand the Dangerfield hatred on here. Sure, he plays for Geelol, but that he wanted to ensure Adelaide got compensated was classy.

I think his FIGJAM attitude might have something to do with that.

 

[The Lemon]

This is almost as good as a Hawthorn flag. Enjoyed the game without the stress. LOL

Great day. No nerves, just enjoyed it all.

So what if the umpiring was dodgy (or not). It soon gets forgotten. And nothing is ever changed either.

I'd like to see incorrect disposal paid once again though.

I have no problems with Benny Mac. I like him

I don't think sliding is the correct description. Hanneberry's maybe, nut the first one I believer the doggie player was trying to pick up the ball. Anyway, it's just another rule to go in the "50 Shades of Gray," A.F.L. rule book.

Like "Holding the Ball" and "Incorrect Disposal"... It has become a bit of making it up as you go along

the tunnel ball was a shocker.
expect to see that tomorrow, not at the mcg!

Clarko might not have been so crazy after all.
101 tackles and 1 HTB to the Swans.
Strange.

Incorrect disposal is a joke. I still stand by the only way a player should be able to release the ball is via a kick or handball. Otherwise they should be responsible for ball security, ball gets knocked free that is incorrect disposal and the only thing that can save them when they are caught with it is no prior opportunity.

There is nothing worse than seeing a player conveniently drop the ball in the path of or sometimes times even hand the ball to a passing teammate. It infuriates me. But apparently it is ok because it was knocked out in the tackle. Like hell it was. Players pick and choose when it gets knocked out in a tackle.

And people are well within their rights to be reminded that Franklin has done more for this club then any of the people slating him from behind a keyboard.

Some agree with you, some don't...its part of life's rich tapestry.
2 x Premiership legend... we agree.
The rest... not so much.
But life goes on.

Stay classy, Erin. I guess the Dogs can't look forward to you spreading unsubstantiated BS about their fans.

Erin who?

 

[Thaihawk]

Good luck to them. One negative about being a Hawks supporter is that we will never feel what they do today. It sucks winning a premiership on average every 4 years

You wait til Richmond wins one - that will be insufferable

I know how they feel.

 

[The Lemon]

Wish Breust had kicked that goal against the Dogs

 

[fieval]

Wish Breust had kicked that goal against the Dogs

Or Isaac against the Cats?? (The tears would have been monumental!!)

 

[Suntory Boss Coffee]

Wanted Sydney to win more because I can't stand that ducking campaigner McLean from the dogs.
Still not too fussed with the result though, despite the dogs having a good, young team don't think they will trouble next year. No objective reasons but just an inkling

 

[The Lemon]

We would have beaten Sydney today. Easily.

 

[walhawk]

Sucking - only player on Dogs list not part of the celebrations?

 

[Thaihawk]

Still can't get over what an ordinary player Stringer is. By far the most overrated player in the league. He should give HIS medal to Murphy. Ok he kicked a goal but for a while I thought he was going to lose the game for them.

Would have to be one of the most overrated players in the A.F.L. Three of his first kicks, maybe his first three were all out on the full. I can't understand why all the commentators (specially Taylor) say he's the complete package.

Parcel at best. More likely an envelope...

Can you back this up with evidence?
