Haha you are up there with the Port nufties if you think the umpires hurt them in 2014. Watch that last quarter again and the goal that Monfries got that started the rot. Gibson didn't even make contact with him but Monfries gets a soda from 15m out dead in front.
BTW the free kick count in the last quarter was 10-2 in Ports favour. One could make an argument just about every free kick call in that quarter was wrong.
With 2012, there is a youtube video out there that shows every contensious call from that game, and all the gripes that Adelaide fans had were unfounded when you watch it. They were just unlucky so many 50/50 moments went our way. We were the better team on the day so I'm more than comfortable with that one.
And as for 2015, 2 poor calls doesn't change anything, we went to Perth, beat Freo on their home deck by 4 goals. Sheridan dropping a sitter hurt more than anything. We were clearly the better team on the night as well. Unless you are in the blame Sam Mitchell camp for why Fyfe was injured that game.
Just like I thought. You aren’t honest with yourself.
For such a ‘great’ team I don’t think 4 scraping over the lines in a row in prelims is all that great. Interstate sides with umpires against them, an undermanned cats side who barely beat Port the week before.
Losing to WCE only to get lucky and have an undeserved 4th GF appearance in a row at your home ground against them with no GF experience.
Not all scores tell a true story.
