Roast Preliminary Final Umpiring Thread

[ansonholt]

I hear you guys with regards to low levels of interest in watching the GF. However, I will be watching one stat with interest: whether or not Hawthorn win the free kick count. If they win that, it's game over, regardless of what else happens.

If Hawks win the free kick count by many but win by a couple, I'll laugh and laugh

I feel the same. We may not have won last week anyway, but what those three halfwits did do was take away any chance we had. All season you fight to get to a prelim and then those three blind mice torch you. They are nobodies, but they made it all about them.

You know it's obvious to most when a * supporter (who's related to an ex player of the same surname) stops today to ask if I'm over the loss yet then proceeds to unload on the umpiring we had to overcome if we were to remain in the game, let alone be a real chance of winning. Even he said he walked out of the room when the Jacobs crap went down. Meh, I'll get over it by 2036.

The only thing that makes this better than the '94 prelim is that we 100% know that Peter Carey & Co. cost us a GF spot that day. This time around, it would have been a genuine 50-50 call.

I was in the 2nd row of the 2nd tier, directly behind the goals which allowed me to actually see the holding going on, something the far away centre wing camera shot from side on didn't allow you to see. Either way believe it or don't, i was there, i know what happened and you're just guessing because of what a few flog commentators said.

Tell us, where were you sitting to watch your teams capitulation this week?

Inside Razor Ray, where else.

Great effort by the Weagles - as they were playing three men short

I was really surprised to see that the Eagls left out their best 3 players from last week.

Razor Ray was itching to come on and make the difference

Was he itching because he has crabs? I hope the little ****er has an STD!

I'm guessing 1st row ; forward pocket ; 5 minutes to go in the 3rd ; the f*ckwit that high fived Isaac Smith when he kicked the sealer against his own team. Either way don't think I'd be giving high fives to opposition players when my team just lost the grand final ; but that's the majority of eagle supporters.THEY HAVE NO F*CKING IDEA.

Reaaaaaaaally wish the BigFooty search function was working so I could find some of the cocky posts by Eagles fans after their prelim win, bump them after that embarrassing performance they put in today.

Worst Grand Finalists since Port got their pants pulled down in 2007.

I want to find that w.c. tosser who " watched " the replay of our prelim. and questioned Goldy's A.A. credentials .

Nic Nat.......#worstruckever !

So much yes.

After an umpire special for the first goal they conceded 16 out of the next 20 goals before they got the last 3 in junk time, including runs of 9 and 6 unanswered.

They were undeservingly gifted a GF spot but couldn't mask their ineptness today. Embarrassed. Eat shit to their fans, I had a good laugh today.

Where were your best 3 players from last week??

Still hurts, should have been us that got smashed by Hawthorn yesterday

oh well at least Drew Petrie won the Biggest Kick over the Yarra on Grand Final Day!..with a huge Monster (great idea btw) agree North would have put in a better effort...

Despite the press fellatio I wasn't super impressed with them - not to say they might not have had another gear - but they were nothing like last year against the Swans. WCE just collapsed IMHO.
