I wasn't sure about the shorter quarters. Not short enough, as it turned out.

Umps. Can. Get. f’ed.

Footy is Back with scumps screwing us

 

[TradeDraft]

Cameron? Are you Farking spry?

Cameron was one of Our betters Players

 

[Antz]

Umps cost us the game....once again.

I never criticise umpires . . .
So I will say nothing.

 

[DinoSoar]

Was it Howe who rushed behind to give Richmond the last point? Absolutely terrible decision from a usually great decision maker. You have to be aware of the score.

No, it was Higgins who missed his shot on goal for their last point.

 

[Hong Kong Pie]

Jeezus, i can't believe that match. We both should have won it, but didn't deserve to win either.

Pendlebury was particularly sloppy that last quarter.

 

[Hekt]

You can probably give the game replay upload a miss on that one...

 

[mike123]

That was an AFLW scoreline :|

That’s what happens when the game is as long as an AFLW game

 

[Unknown Identity]

Was good to have AFLW back.

When do the men play?

 

[MagpieJoel]

Moral victory to us.
Them being gifted two goals was the difference.

4 goals

 

[Vicky Park]

Looked like a game played by footballers who hadn’t played footy for months, with limited preparation and contact practice. On both sides.

Oh wait...

 

[themulletking]

Realistically, we were totally robbed by a few decisions and in the end: lucky to get a draw. A draw is as close to an official moral victory that we're gonna get, unfortunately.

Why on earth was Tyler Brown seemingly our full forward for most of the game ? That seemed very strange, surely not the best thing for our offence

 

[Matt_TY]

I... am not sure what to make of that.
We were atrocious and so were they. Perhaps there should have been more scratch matches in the lead-up. If this is match fitness now then we're in for a terrible weekend of football.

I think we are the moral victors of this game but honestly I'm not sure this... event... deserves to have a winner.

 

[Grechy]

You blokes are the only ones that push us or beat us at the G consistently. Think we'll be seeing each other again at the pointy end.

 

[PIEWITHSAUCE]

Pendlebury was particularly sloppy that last quarter.

Tried some very low % moves when the game was on the line.

Meanwhile it seems Jordy has decided to model his kicking on James Manson - one of the worst kicks in the AFL.

Ah well..........probably lucky the game was so short in the end. Happy to walk away with a draw in a danger game and glad to see some of our lesser lights hold the fort. I thought Mayney had a great one.

 

[upnsmoke]

Look, I dont like using umpires as excuses, I usually blame the team for playing below par... But this game?
Wow.

This game is all about the back line for both teams and it was a heck of a work out for both.
But Tigers had 2 CLEAR goals that should have not been goals....

it felt like the umpires wanted a kick between the team all game and made the 50/50 calls that way to ensure it was within a kick....

Pies delivery into 50 was shocking, but good to see Howe best on ground for Pies and Cameron looks like a keeper.

 

[TheGreatGrundy]

BT carrying on like an idiot

The Vikings 'blood eagle' would be too good for BT.
