2008 Preliminary Final

[BluesMan]

I was at the game bloody belter! i go west perth and was deerly devostated to blow such a lead.. Natnui played crap. they played him fullback most of the time, and did absoulute nothing. but he was in the ruck the last quater and fired up. the siren was a funny inccedent, me and my mates ran on the field like everybody else but 1 minute after being on the trainers told us get off 40 seconds left.. i was like history could be made! It didnt...

Go swannies in the grandiee

OK, but I bet there were as many bewildering decisions (I say again Naita's mark on Campbell) that went WP's way, certainly in the first half.

Which commentator was confused about the 50m? The only confusion the commentators had, that I saw on TV. was that Spaanders got the kick when the holding the ball decision was, or should have been, awarded to Banfield. The WP player kicked the ball away, no argument that's 50. B LeCras puts his arm around Geappen after a mark and knocks him over (albeit softly) and the ball loose, thats 50 everyday of the week.

I know there were crap decisions, I'm not the one complaining about the umpiring. Was just saying the decisions in the 2nd half went Swans way so how could anyone complain about it when it's at the most critical stage of the match and the decisions go their way?

You had 4 or 5 50m penalties for the day, including one against Campbell to Geappen for no apparent reason. If I'm wrong correct me, but the commentators were wondering what happened as well.

I thought they showed the replay and Naita had one hand in his back?

Either way, enjoy the Grand Final, you guys deserved the win.

Were you somewhere near the Tom James Stand? I heard that from a bloke at the front of the "stand", or shed, as I like to call it.

Yeah I was sitting on the grass just in front of the stand. Cracking environment, especially our little stoush with Campbell at half time
