has nothing to do with umpires.

you are never going to win a game of footy scoring 3 x as many points as you do goals.

We are an insipid team in the wet. Have been for years, we cannot play our brand in the wet.

One team was ablee to score in the wet and it wasn't us.
maybe if we had got 6 set shots inside 30 meters of the goals, say from free kicks, we would have got more goals.... just a thought.

Prefer 1 on 1 footy. Zone defence sees three Dons running to one Bullflog all the time. Hate it.
 
hard conversation needs to be hard with shiel.

absolutely ******* woeful today.

Forward line has been invisible 2nd half, a lot of names there that have question marks over whether they will be able to improve us in coming years
Dogs midfield loving the wet weather who knows whether playing under the roof at Marvel may have made a difference but they have been well on top after quarter time
We'll see if Weightman is around in 5 years if he keeps playing like Toby McLean in 2016

Not here to sh*t stir, but some of those frees paid to Weightman that resulted in goals were the softest I can ever recall, particularly in a final played in those conditions.
Putrid umpiring!
I switched off the TV after Weightman’s 4th free, the “push” on the boundary. If that’s the level of officiating that’s acceptable by the AFL in a final, they’ve got more problems than just Covid. Umpires have been garbage all year and you’d hope only the decent ones get a gig for the finals but there just aren’t any. The AFL have created these morons so nothing will come of it.
 
What ? Bloke who has hardly played all year not having a great day in the wet. Like the rest of them.

most of them aren't paid *in 850k bro.

he doesn't get the same leniency

I don’t think you can reasonably suggest that even an objective watcher could say that the 2 goals to weightman after extremely soft free kicks, the first against Draper and the second when he got “pushed” across the boundary line didn’t have a massive impact on the momentum of the game when It was a tight contest and we were right in it.
