The umpiring was directed to favour Melbourne so much that I actually felt sorry for the Bulldogs. Melbourne making up the numbers, any thoughts?
 
"Rigged" is probably a little harsh, lots of decisions not payed today to both sides - most of them not to us though and the ones that were paid were dicey as!

its worth more to the afl if melbourne play off rather than the dogs. bigger crowds and it also keeps the mcc happy
 
it's worth more for the AFL to remain a fair competition. IF the AFL rigged a game for melbourne to win, the negative effects of someone ever finding out, would far out weigh the positives listed by bigbomber above... that being said.. Melbourne were VERY lucky today

Hird did wrong. Essendon doesn't bring the umpires into it.

If you could spell I would be offended!!
 
As for the 3 goals that Melbourne got from frees, the first one to Robbo was there. I think Ted had already thought he marked it, so tried to do some extra work on his head.

The 2nd one to Holland was soft as butter and the 3rd to Green should have got him on Oscar nom.

I would have done the same thing. Shame the umps fell for it.

As for the rest, we played very aggressively and that's why they got more frees. Bolton and NLM chief transgressors.

What I'm more upset about was NLM's disposal. Do they do stats for helicopter kicks?

We were heavily favoured by the maggots up until half time, after that it was pretty even.

Melbourne for the flag by the way. :cool:

agree, the first half was very ordinary for us and the second half was very ordinary for both teams.

thought the bombers fought it out really well. Umpiring was pretty bad, but there was some stingy decisions both ways and I thought Melbourne were unlucky to miss out on a few holding hte ball decisions in the third also.

But once the majority of your team finishes VCE, I'm sure it won't be long before you're playing finals again. good signs for the bombers.
