Review Round 18, 2019 - Brisbane Lions vs. North Melbourne

[Football Pope]

Always been the home of the AFL circus...so many clowns

 

[lioninthesand]

Save the hate guys Norf not worth it. For me they just an irrelevant, nothing club. Let’s face it everyone just shrugs their shoulders when it comes to them. They evoke about as much emotion as the bye for me.

Yeah I don't know why but I am always so flat when there is a game on and it's North, has been like that for a few years. All my Mates agree, just something about them. I think it's being middle of the table, irralivent for so long and no real story over the last decade. On the other hand we are compulsive viewing for a lot of neutral supporters apparently.

Zorko digging his fingers into a young players surgery scar then spitting into the face of the North player who comes to remonstrate - thoughts?

Thoughts on the AFL coming out and saying that the free to Ben Brown was incorrect?

 

[CarterS]

Mods on their board automatically delete any post from a non North supporter? I posted actually agreeing with something they said and I still got deleted.

They are opening a can of worms. They will be discussing 30 decisions every round.

 

[BRAB]

Honestly we got rinsed by the umpiring. North lucky to be within 10 goals.

What ever happened to Duritz? He would have loved this.

They spent a small fortune on that squib Jared Polec for some star factor. What more could you possibly say.

Oh boy I forgot all about Durirz.

Yep, umps don't have the benefit of a technology-based system as used in cricket to assist the match officials with their decision-making...Has seconds to make a decision and calls it as he sees it...not going to get every one right....and that's where those on the wrong side of the decision question the white maggots parentage...but, that's what I like about our game.

Ch7 show tonight was quite fair saying they should also pass verdict on the Brown decision. Darcy was pro Lions.

About to watch that now, glad someone has at least highlighted it but Darcy was rightly miffed during the call.

 

[Dylan12]

Talking Footy just stated that they contacted AFL and they admit they got the Brown decision wrong....

Good to see SEN / 3AW and AFL360 all proactively mentioned that, however, as I've said, doesn't fit a narrative that Norf was robbed.

Same with On the Couch tonight. Healy made the point the Brown free that occurred 3 minutes before the "controversial" free was also a bad call and should have been called out by the AFL....

I'm nearly at the end of the second quarter in my "Umpiring decisions review" and I can honestly say I am hard pressed to find one 50/50 in our favour.

Compiling the rest of the game soon.

I suggest people read the North board match thread too. During the game quite a few North posters said the Brown free was wrong. One poster even said “I hope we kick another one. Would be embarrassing to win off that free”.

The next day they all seemed to have conveniently groupthunk themselves into believing it was a fair free. Like you said, it isn’t compatible with the “we waz robbed” narrative they needed to cling to. So the truth shifted.

Got perma’d.

Just got the text from fages.

I will be defending Harris at the tribunal.

Send through your best arguments

“Good evening your honour. Lol Norf! The defence rests.”

Good on Gerard Healy on On the Couch for baking the AFL on only making comment on one wrong decision, but not the other.

Have North's board finally recognised this yet?

They should change their name North Korea

 

[jonnobackpocket]

The North board is actually next level messy. They genuinely suggesting the AFL is manufacturing a lions run at the flag ha ha. Yep Brisbane winning the flag would be a perfect outcome for Gillion They a special lot but choosing to follow north in the first place suggests that anyway.

No it was a free kick 100 times out of 100 according to some of them. Ha ha

Was awesome seeing Healy call that out. The media have been telling a small piece of the story and it's been frankly pathetic.

Harris Andrews getting suspended for an incredibly innocuous incident that the media wasn’t even aware of beforehand must be some serious 4D chess by the AFL.

 

[Hollow Knight]

My kingdom for anyone who can upload the footage of Healy as well as Talking Footy into a convenient Shinboner Bitchslap video.
