Apologies for the intrusion lads, just wanted to voice my concerns with the umpiring. Was awful towards us, I couldn't believe how lucky we were. Apologies for that.
But, take heart from your performance. Your young lads were great, and you will be there at the end of September (hopefully with us).
Here's to plenty more great games. Hopefully with decent umpiring.
It's not lucky.
It's f***ing payback by the VFL mafia and we are over it.

If you guys are so brave play a game - just one game - without ump assistance. It's pathetic.

Dogs are playing with a 25 pt headstart.

No level of talent beats that in a competitive matchup.
 
I want the club to make a statement publicly about it. Cop a fine. Whatever. It's gotten to the point where even the most die hard fans like me are second guessing even watching. Is that what the AFL want?

I thought they wanted to grow the game? Don't forget who got them to the stage they could do that. Us bloods fans stuck through the late 80s & early 90s. Don't forget us AFL. You will regret it.

Problem is they know too well that you will get over it and watch again next week. I feel your pain I feel the same.
 
We were outplayed for the most part but showed some fight to stay in it which was pleasing.

The Bont is an absolute beast at the stoppages, our midfield looks undersized in comparison and struggled to compete physically.

Franklin and Reid >>> Franklin and Tippett.
 
Umpire 16. Brendan Hosking. Remember the name

Must have given half their free kicks including the deliberate against Mills. Skinny little runt

The filter is pretty close with the change to runt.

So the Dogs were #sobrave but we're missing 6 of our best 22 and Tippett went down in the first quarter?

The commentary was abysmal as the umpiring. Disgusting.
Even they were starting to mutter about the deal Syd wete getting. You know it must be rough...
 
Mills is having 2nd year blues ATM

Hayward will be the best of picks imo , love florent too

We need a stringer like in our midfield asap , need that break away pace ( Hayward )

If Newman can get more of the ball we could use his skills of HB

Harry lol

Reid shoved it up me again

Aliir is going to be an All Aus
 
Just a quick word from a neutral then I'm outa here. You guys were robbed blind by those umps, shocking performance, de ja vu the GF. Dogs are the new bum chums of the umps,used to be the Hawks, cant touch em and its a dogs free,they ruined a great game. See you guys in Sydney next week, just hope its a great contest not ruined by the umps, as this was. Cheers.

Second and third quarters we got done.

Put that solely at the feet of our senior players.

Keep Hewett in the middle. Looks very good.

Lloyd was also very good.
 
We will have a good year though, feel confident of that

We'll improve no doubt, but I don't think we'll get to another grand final.

Apparently Horse is on the phone to the club accountants asking what his allowance is for the presser..
 
I try to be the level head who doesn't blame umpires, but that was just beyond a joke. Again.

There were some dead set superstar players plying their trade on both teams (Buddy anyone?), why did the umpires feel they had to have their own impact on the game?

That Mills 'deliberate' rushed behind. Seriously. If that had been Bob Murphy up the other end you could have a million to one for that being paid.

Umpiring aside, I was so pleased with the effort tonight. Didn't think we could take it up to the Bravedogs with the limited cattle we had available. We deserved better on the night.

I'll set up a go fund me page for Longmire to help him pay the $10,000 fine to roast the umpires. Disgraceful umpiring again ! Last week we lost to a better team this week we got beaten by a team with 4 extra players on the ground.
On a positive note great first game by Nic Newman. Great last quarter cameo Buddy and keep up the great work Sam Reid !

Horse is too classy to do it but I'm sure all the supporters would back him just absolutely unloading on the umpires, AFL etc.
