Game Day Brisbane Lions v GWS Giants - Semi Finals - Sat 14 Sep, 7:25PM AEST, Gabba. No umpire complaints until after the game.

[TW Sherrin]

Gws & umpires gunna be hard to beat.

 

[Alesana]

Free kicks are even. When you lose it won't be because of the umpires

Number of frees paid is irrelevant

 

[Demonic Ascent]

The most physical final of the past twenty years. The winner will be out of legs next week.

Ha you wish

 

[projectv]

I’m hoping that the scores are even with 30 seconds to go and Razor pays a controversial free kick to GWS in front of goal. That would be great.

I hope it's one for Toby Greene. How melty would the place get?!

 

[TheMagician15]

Stef Martin is having one hell of a game.

 

[Black white]

Very hard to win with blatant cheating from the umpires.

Well, you did receive triple frees from backline to straight in front gifted goal . Haven't seen one of those before.

 

[Turmoil]

This game is set for a Toby Greene sealer. Please big footy gods make it happen!

 

[rapido]

This game: people running at high speed with no apparent structure, frequently stopped by completely random whistles.

Are you channeling Cameron Ling or something? There is nowhere in the Rules of the Game about 'blokes down injured or trying to come off' with respect to 17.12.


17.12 OTHER A Free Kick shall be awarded against a Player who: (e) makes unreasonable or unnecessary contact with an injured opposition Player;

Here's a link of the whole damn book, go read and understand it; https://s.afl.com.au/staticfile/AFL Tenant/AFL/Files/2019 Laws of Australian Football.pdf

This is a good post. The rule is quite clear. Great example of cognitive dissonance- where people will actually think that words say things that are not there.

Ump says play on and then immediately pays a mark. wtf.

The ball jumped out of the players hands in a marking attempt...

Play on!

The same player then grabs the ball on the second attempt...

Mark!

 

[Johnny Bananas]

I wish Mitch Robinson was playing, he would have torn these jokers a new rear end if they got physical with him.

 

[JT_the_Man]

I’m hoping that the scores are even with 30 seconds to go and Razor pays a controversial free kick to GWS in front of goal. That would be great.

Site would go into meltdown.

 

[JasRulz63]

Mumford is the perfect matchup for Martin. He does well when his opposition ruck plays similar and is a bit undersized.

 

[Elmer_Judd]

Giants have actuallt copped the rough end of the umpiring, if people took off their anti Giants glasses and viewed the game from a neutral perspective

Find it difficult to fathom why Lions fans feel like they have been screwed, they should be more concerned about poor goal kicking conversion.

 

[Beer n Skittles]

Free kicks are even. When you lose it won't be because of the umpires

This is why we get constant umpire whinging. Idiots who don’t understand free kicks are actually paid for something, and aren’t just dolled out evenly to each team throughout the game

 

[StevenwellerHFC]

I feel this game wouldn't be getting me so excited if the umpiring wasn't so good.

 

[Adz]

Ha you wish

Don’t need to wish it’s a fact.

 

[WillHayward]

Have Giants always been this campaignery!?

Yep.
Cameron is a complete campaigner. Mumford as well. So is Greene.
So are a few others.

 

[RU_]

Chamberlain trying single handledly to end our season.

Are you trolling?

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Dunno, Houli is a good player.

Agreed but Rich has had a more influential year imo

 

[Tas]

Wow, they are talking up Hodge touching the footy.

 

[underthestars]

just enjoying a great game. one more quarter like the last three please!

 

[Ash1337]

If GWS win this pies will be laughing. They will not be favoured at all.

Did Channel 7 mention that Nathan Buckley was a champion Brisbane player?
