17 years ago and the only thing the lions have achieved since is avoid folding

My favourite was Daicos deliberate out.

I was being serious, Robinson flattened Noble after the goal that's why the umpire was saying Robinson started it. The Daicos decision was as bad a decision as you could get, especially given the precedents earlier never mind the fact that it was off the Lions player

Wait and see people. The AFL will do their outmost to help Brisbane to another flag. The road has been paved.

Are you old Fitzroy or a bandwagon Brisbane supporter?

 

[magpies42]

They were pretty deplorable tonight, but I think it sort of balanced out.

if you’re looking for a conspiracy, look at the scheduling and how often we’ve played teams with less recovery time and more travel.

It must be thrilling to have a life that involves so little. Hopefully we see Robbo have a big teary cry when Brisbane inevitably go out in straight sets

Here’s an idea, post thoughts like this in the post game thread.

Robinson did have a good sook, sad to see the tough guy act and then sook it up like he did.

He's always been like this, ever since he was part of the navy scum. Cheap shots a defenceless and more timid bloke (e.g. Noble), then wilts when someone with actual menace gets in his face. Total flog.

Did like him calling out Tom Lynch though. Two flogs going at one another

Our skill execution killed us first and foremost, and we wouldn’t have gotten as close as 8 points had it not been for the Lions losing Andrews and having fewer rotations.

But yes, the umpiring also stank.

 

[Markfs]

I have a real problem with whingeing. I have to admit that I yell at the TV when I think the umpire has made a mistake, but if i started blaming umpires for lost games i'd be disappointed in myself.

 

[jackcass]

I thought the umpiring was very good. Put the whistles away and let the game go on. Certainly didn't overly favour either side.

 

[loki04]

Yeah .....naaahhhh.

 

[Pistol Night]

God its cringeworthy when supporters whinge about umpires. Its funny considering supporters of all 18 teams do it. So based on that, how do they decide who they are going to favour every week?

It's all a great big conspiracy. Every other team is favoured by the umpires. The AFL is out to get us.

That makes too much sense, however when Collingwood is concerned it’s always the opposition that gets the upper hand.
Two incidents from Grand Finals - Wayne Harmes out of bounds, and Willie Rioli illegal shepherd.

They’re the ones that stick in the public’s mind because they were closer to the siren, but in terms of being;
a) BS, and
b) influential on the result,

I’d put up the holding on Tarrant by White and then going up the other end for a soft free kick against Presti, and the centre square free kick against Grundy when we were up by 11 or so in the last quarter for a goal to Vardy.

Also Rocca’s shot was a goal. I was sitting right behind it.

 

[jonnobackpocket]

Just wondering does the fact it was 17 to 11 free kicks, in your favour kinda ruin your theory?

Please don't think we're all blaming the umps - besides that Daicos deliberate it was probably the best officiated game of ours I'd seen all year.

I got no doubt you are not all delusional, I am definitely sure whoever started this thread is. I have seen some shit on bigfooty but this might take the cake. If they are cheating, to help the lions, because Brisbane got the grand final. They did a really ordinary job. Would have thought giving us 6 more free kicks would have been helpful if they cheating. Sheesh.

Did you bother reading through the whole thread, or just look at the thread title?! The majority of the posts do not go along with the OP's view, and in fact many are very critical of it.

Yeah I read the whole thing, no doubt majority see it for what it is. Was just having a dig at whoever was dense enough to start this thread.
