[pavstar]

AFL House tried hard to help out CoLOLingwood out by sending a memo to tonight’s umps to sabotage us in order to help them out…

 

[Piggy Smalls]

Murphy Reid's handball to set up the Voss goal

 

[estibador]

it’s simply unsustainable to keep winning like this.

That's what I always think, and that's why I have doubts about us.

But that's also what the entire AFL world thought about the Pies in 2023. So who knows.

 

[wakojako]

Voss is a literal cult hero, I cannot love this man anymore. He is so fun to watch and the boys love playing beside him. I loved how he started the fight with Lord and all of the Port defenders started getting into him which led to a goal. Love the arrogance to kick three goals and talk to the crowd as well. Also how funny was that demonstration he gave to the ump after they didn't call the mark

 

[go_the_dockers]

Ras was brilliant.

Out forwards can't convert. Need better pressure to stop the short kick.

Voss and Treacy were great. Jackson good around the ground.

 

[E Shed]

God damn this team takes years off my life sometimes.
Just an awful game in so many ways but again we found a way.

Voss was epic and Cohuna was massive at times.
Fyfe bossed the centre right when we needed it.
Switta connected well and Bruce is a young God.

On the negative side we got bad Shai tonight, Amiss took way too long to get into it (bring him up on a wing when he's getting pantsed), we let Butters do whatever he wanted for far too long.

Banfield, O'Driscoll horrible, Chapman had some moments but he's miles off his best.

Our mid forward connection was for the most part terrible and the crumbing non existent.

I try not to buy into umpires having agendas but it's hard when it was as consistently biased and terrible as it was tonight. There were any number of examples but taking that mark off Voss was the cherry on top.

At least our destiny is still in our hands. Dogs lose tomorrow and its all she wrote, we play finals.

True, and that is the one thing we can hang on.

The issue for me is I actually think our last 3 weeks have been very poor - against West Coast, Carlton and Port.

Big two weeks ahead against two far better teams, we’ll know whether we’re a genuine contender or an also ran after these two weeks.

[YelloMit]

Man, how are we equal 1st on the ladder?

 

[go_the_dockers]

Fyfe and boak swapped jumpers. Video not working

 

[s_wd6]

Port thread is funny as. They get more than double the free kicks and still reckon they lost cause of the umpires. Football supporters ey

Lol that Darcy kick went about 8 meters. But also it's so so fitting they lost by shit umpiring when we got screwed all game.

 

[freo84]

Its funny you called this the Hoodoo Gurus as they're playing a show tonight in Tom Price. I can hear them from my backyard.

Free event that Rio put on.

Its was a sign we were always winning!

 

[The Feeder Club]

How many goals did the maggots just hand those bastards?
Regardless, the centre square was putrid and almost cost us the game. This us why Jackson will nevet be All Australian. All the talent in the world, but plays some games like he's on playstation sometimes. Who the hell has ever seen Jordon Sweet win more possessions. Good grief.
Erasmus very good, Voss very good, Reid is whatever shade of good is better than very good

 

[Fat Nyfe]

Okay Port were shit in the first quarter and we couldn’t take advantage.

But after that, yet again, we had a crap team play out of their absolute skins against us and play better than have done for most of the year. So it was another great win really.

 

[JammoMonty]

That free kick count 28-12. Jeez that no34 umpire was hot on the whistle tonight. Had it in for Freo.

 

[s_wd6]

Voss giving the crowd the shush and the wave when we were up by only 5 with 10 minutes still left to play. Almost ended up with egg on his face. But man I ****ing love him. I also don't get why WC fans get upset when oppo crowds boo Reid. I love when Voss cops it. It's good for the game.

15 goals in his last four games to take him to outright first in goals per game for us.

 

[Achin joints]

This club is gonna have to start including a defib with membership

That was in no way, any shape or form, a good win

 

[purplerunsdeep2]

Can we close the thread and never speak of this game again?

I don't assign much blame to Jackson or Darcy. They can only win the tap but it is up to the mids to win the ball at ground level. They can't control the fact that Butters gave our mids a bath time and again.

is terrible but…

This is the year. The two best teams with proven experience and outcomes are losing to rubbish teams, have some discontent and injuries, and seem quite beatable.

The main threat, the Crows, don’t have the experience. They’ve really overachieved. They’re not that great.

Fremantle are in form, Fremantle’s best is very good, and for once in the club’s history there’s no injuries (sans Young) crippling the team at an important time of the year.

This is that Bradbury, 2016 Bulldogs opportunity.

Please, please, please just do it.

 

[westy1]

Fyfe being subbed on changed the momentum of the game. He has still got it. One last roll of the dice for the big fella.

Vintage Fyfe was a pleasure to watch

 

[gaskin]

This is that Bradbury, 2016 Bulldogs opportunity.

Except we won't have the umps dick riding us like they did the Dogs in that finals series.

 

[thistimeforsure]

Lol top 4 and should be paying 50/1 for the flag
