Good summary. Can see the Dogs got the better of it in the last which will obviously be looked at more in such a close game. Was a cracking game, even if I'm obviously disappointed with the result.

It helps explain people's grievance with umpiring. More of the poor calls against the Dogs came in the 1st half, more of the Lions ones came in the 2nd during a time where everyone is already hyped up / tense. Hopefully once the dust settles people can appreciate the game for what it was. Should go down as a classic

"Some kid" = ex professional umpire

No AFL accredited ump, could umpire under 9s. You can't just post a fans opinion and say 'we win'.

I disagree with half of them.

Mate 10-2 frees in the last, 23-11 after 1/4 time, 4-5 contentious ones down the stretch.

You won, enjoy it. But * off with defending the fact you didn't get a good whistle. It's laughable.

You got an extremely good whistle in the second 1/4 too FYI.

Whilst the focus of the angst is on the last 1/4 that was just the boil over, it was on from 1/4 time in a huge way.

'hold' bulldogs.. 'push bulldogs'.. 'hold bulldogs'.. 'block bulldogs' ... one after the next, it was comical.

We were awesome tonight, couldn't be prouder. Coming here to rag a young team with half their players out, after the game of the year, is embarrassing for Tigers fans.
half ????
surely the beast or the barometer or whatever he calls himself
would have beaten the dogs on there own ,including the umpires
he is that good after all

Cracking game, did you know the result made us the first club to win a GF that didn't feature a Vic club and set in motion the need for your inquiry 2 years later.

Such a shame Lynch is obviously suffering onset CTE, his punch drunk slurring in commentary is a sad look on the game.

re watch the last quarter against the eagles in round 23
lions were gifted that game ,,,even had the time keeper
on your side just to make sure you got the double chance
and you still blew it

Only have yourselves to blame tbh. Everyone knows the umpires choose the winners and your mob treated them like they were just there to officiate.

I’m laughing too.

I hope this masks the pain of your team not being good enough. You probably started to really believe in them after Rd 23 too. Sad. The sun will come up tomorrow bud.

My team has major issues. Mental fortitude, lazy mids, down hill skiers. I am thinking and discussing this everyday. I also think the best 4 teams in the comp made prelims.

Thats how I make myself feel better, knowing we arnt good enough and probably would have lost to Port by 60 points.

And no - I was never a believer in us after round 23, we had beaten a bunch of bottom feeders and where massively banged up.

But I will not lie down on the fact the umps gave us a bath last night, why is it so tough to except you had a good whistle?

Why are dogs fans so defensive about it, its bizarre.

Because we disagree with you, just because you feel a certain thing doesn’t make it factual. Incredible that you don’t understand other people will have opinions…

You’re flying through the stages of grief now. Pretty soon you’ll even accept that the umpiring was fine and the better team won. Don’t worry, you’ll get your Gabba frees back next year, except when you play us obviously.

No need to be so perplexed. Maybe, just maybe, Bulldog fans, and plenty of neutrals don’t agree with your claims, and by extension your attempt to diminish the Bulldog’s achievement in winning against the odds.
