Game Day Round 11 vs. Fremantle, OS, 8:10pm Friday 24/05

[Fat Jesus]

2 draws = one full loss

Equals one win.

 

[Scud2]

Their Friday night team is shocking
Probably the worst quartet
Used to like Richo once, now he’s becoming a flog too.

It was quality when Cox was coming off the ground after his knee injury and the commentary team thought he was starting to look good enough so Richo complains about how this is the stuff that delays the game

 

[PonsfordMagpie]

2 draws = one full loss

Or one full win depending on how you interpret it.

 

[Jafo]

That can't be right

Yeah, was only for a split moment at full time. I mustn’t have refreshed. Live ladder. Sorry everyone.

 

[ElliottsMaggies]

That can't be right

That was obviously when we were in front..not after the draw.

It really is the antithesis of pies radio.
Anti pies tv!

 

[McOrist]

Could anyone please show me in the 'Rules of the Game' book where it says a free will be given if the ball is not given back straight to the umpire? I've had a look and couldn't find it.

The central umpires wait 10+ seconds at most stoppages waiting for rucks to nominate/get set for a ball in/up but a relayed ball to them constitutes a free kick 20 mts out from goal.

The mind boogles

 

[Looney]

For those who are criticizing the strategy of saving the game in the last quarter, we had no key forwards left.

 

[Tharazero1]

Had the game won. Then that free kick gave them hope. Hope is all you need in this game, we've proved it many times. So lucky both times against Essendon and this game we've gotten away with draws and not losses

 

[MagpieJoel]

Keep pulling that nonsense, which has crept in to our mentality recently and you leave yourself more open to be dudded.

Yeah, because what I say makes a difference to the result.

The free kick was bullshit, full stop.

Sorry not you, the nonsense approach of shutting the game down 10 minutes out. Not just for this game but consistently. Gives other sides a sniff and then doesnt put the game away.

Not arguing free kick and also the freo player ducking and drawing a high free that wasnt high late. But we also invited it on ourselves and the same previously.

We have become too safe and stagnant this year. While we have got over the line at times, it has created more issues and then means you also have to expend more energy very late.

And time was off so it was not time wasting. How much did Nichols have on a Freo win?

So losing our makeshift key forwards two weeks running has nothing to do with it?

It doesn't help, but it is a tactic i have noted this year. The Hawthorn game was another example of it.

I'm sure these umps like to insert themselves into the game with a controversial call, so they're talked about during the week. Pathetic, weak decision, because he wanted to insert himself into the game and into some controversy.
The ump basically wanted to be a precious prick with just over 3 mins to go.....
Imagine a team losing a grand final because the ump thought l didn't get the ball handed to me, so l will cost this team a premiership....
No wonder supporters are deluded by this game, because of stupid frees paid, that just spoil the game.....

 

[Timmy from Thomastown]

And 2022 and 2023.

So true, you can still play positive with a smaller forward line.

 

[Timmy from Thomastown]

It was a bloody disgraceful umpiring decision.

I don’t care it it’s technically a rule or not, the action did not affect the game in any way amd was not time wasting…and could easily have been overlooked and shoukd have been Even with a gentle warning.

Overzealous maggot…

 

[bucksisbest]

And 2022 and 2023.

No we used to try and win games. Maybe a little bit late 23.

We would often come at sides with a burst when we needed to. There has been a shift and its also been with too many minutes left.

 

[Timmy from Thomastown]

Or one full win depending on how you interpret it.

There’s no other way to interpret it. Two draws = 4 premiership points = one full win.

I think you’re imagining things and ignoring the impact of multiple game day injuries

Some superstar performances tonight..
