[FR0GGY]

What was it designed to do. I truly loved it.

It was for the crows players not anyone else.

The umpire derby next week.
Pies Hawks.

They gonna be like

 

[Guardian Hawk]

Most of those players played in some god awful teams in their first 30 games. Nick Watson in his debut season played finals flanked by Dylan Moore and Jack Ginnivan.

Just tried to think of some good current small forwards. Got other recommendations? I mean Watson has had 90 shots and 22 assists in his first 36 games. He does lots of little things to impact outside scoring too. Do you think he's a bust?

 

[smasha]

O'Brien kept the Crows in it in the first quarter.
Needs more love.
A terrific player.

 

[voorhees]

that last quarter missed goal by D'ambrosio was big.
needed to kick it and should have kicked it..but didn't

 

[SA HAWK]

Cats apparently.

They seem to get the best out of recycled players.

We need to move on from him.

From premiership favourites to missing the finals after adding 2 million dollar per season defenders ??
Rebuilds are hard work …

Haha....you're BACK and you did the line!!

Took you all season but here you are.

Get stuck into that rebuilding team who are battling away at 13-7 and currently 5th (likely 7th by the end of the round) AND hold your first pick while you finish bottom 6. What failures!

I had my doubts about him last year. But he's improved a lot. He and Meek were pretty evenly matched.

Good game of footy tonight a preview on what the finals will be like, can’t wait for September!

 

[DangerSloane]

I cant believe the hawks fans bitching about umpiring.

You were handed goal after goal tonight from rubbish frees.

The rankine 50 was the most obvious correct decision of the night. The umpire hadnt called play on and sicily just wandered over the mark.

Now take out the frees for ducking.

 

[Alwaysacrow]

I maintain that the one hand free holding the ball interpretation is pure bullshit.

Yep. It is consistent with what they've been paying now but it has to change. It should be ball up in that case.

 

[Go the Guts]

Crows a good win. Pretty lost in the 3rd though, look disorganised, but finished over the top, skills baby.

Hawks will keep improving. I keep thinking, their resilience is their big weapon, they'll beat a top side or two if they aren't on their game.

Hawthorn totally lost in the 2nd and 4th as well. The northern end was the scoring end tonight. It was a bizarre game of 4 completely different quarters where each side went to sleep alternatively. Just a massive thank **** we beat those pricks. I hate them.

I actually thought the umpiring was quite consistently shit for both teams.

Which is a step in the right direction.

You were gifted 4 goals from ****ing Stevic from frees that he blatantly created out of thin air. Don’t even suggest that the umpiring was the same both ways. At one stage I was strongly considering jumping the fence and beelining to him to punch him out. He’s just a plain ****ing cheat and the VFL continue to let him get away with it.

They'll go either 14-9 or 15-8, depending if the Lions bounce back from the Suns loss.

I still give us a chance next week Pies have atough game v Brisbane tomorrow & a 5 day break after a 6 day break last week.

Which frees weren't there?

You can't just grab a player by the wrist/around the waist and expect it to go unnoticed.

The HTB with the one arm pinned was adjudicated the same way for both sides. I don't like the interpretation but at least it was consistent.

Crows are always hard done by mate don’t even bother with it.

Again, the 50/50 calls went your way which happen to be multiple shots on goal. You also missed the "arm chop" by Worrell which end up a goal. Apparently, that's how Stevic umpires. It too often for it to be now a coincident, I used to be a non believer as I've heard other posters mention this, you should also be a believer like me. Also, there was an identical encroaching the mark which was paid to the Hawks and you had a shot on goal but not to Fogarty who would have had a shot on goal.

Unfortunately the umpires are inconsistent and bad with every team, the whole umpiring system needs an overall.

 

[Humblebob]

Anyone would these victims lost by a point with a 50 after the siren, can’t even enjoy the wins these days without a tantrum lol

Re: The Arm chop that happens every game. Hardwick got called for an arm chop on Rankine which I thought was a pretty clean spoil that faded late after the ball was dislodged. Shit happens.

At the end of the day, the free kick count was pretty even with a slight favouring to the Crows. I thought the shit calls were consistently poor for both teams.

If both teams have legitimate gripes about the umpiring it's probably a fair indicator that it was reasonably umpired (at least in terms of consistency, not so much on quality).

What? Worrell didn't drag Ginnivan's arm down lol. Like I said, the important 50/50 call went the Hawks way and a lot of them were shot on goal.
