While an exciting finish i saw something that caught my eye. Prior to the Motlop goal McGovern clearly gets pushed in to the contest and under the ball by nead. The umpires in a pretty clear position to see the act that ultimately lead to a pack of crows getting knocked down. Has this decision cost the crows?

Bet he can find that 40 or 50 frees should have gone Adelaide's way in this game too.


If only they'd be able to play at their home ground like they should have. It's just unfair.

Again, it was the corrupt AFL manufacturing a fairy tale against Adelaide making them play at Ports home ground. It’s bullshit as Adelaide were higher on the ladder at the time.

We robbed ourselves of the game in the third quarter. We also had 3 players who made errors in that last play to varying degrees. We were in a winning position and failed.

We need to be better than relying on a whistle to win a match.

But its an away showdown and thats never easy. As long as we learn something from it to win the flag we wont care in 6 months.

Lastly, noone does themselves any favours by calling out individuals and this thread is deteriorating into a trollfest. Would hope its either moved or locked.

Im sure in the reverse showdown with 50k crows fans the umps will give us a few.

So true: We were in a winning position and failed.

Funny how crows fans object, yet don’t seem to complain when certain said individuals make total campaigners of themselves in numerous threads about the said point made. You make your bed, you lie in it.

Say said again.

18 clubs, 18 sets of dickhead fans. All clubs have fans on here who troll. You should know given you are one for your team. Moralising like this is worthless.

Funny thing is bus, i never start it, but, boy oh boy do i enjoy responding. And that’s the point of my posting here. I merely hold the trolls who start shit to account.
And that’s what seems to cut a few up rough. But understand, I won’t stop. So trolling v responding. Have a long hard think about it.
And i’ll let the personal insult slide this time.

I don't think he was pushed but was definitely being held.

While I agree Port out played us, the umpiring in the second half was nothing short of woeful. Port got more goals in the second half from soft free kicks than Adelaide got free kicks (13-3 or something?).

Crowd advantage felt like a real thing, the Wingard push in the back, the Gray high where he ducked his head into a stationary Crows player, yet obvious things like Gibbs being tackled front on while he had his head down or Otten being dumped into the ground well after he got rid of it weren't called.

Or how about when advantage was not called for Adelaide as they are running into an open goal? Play was continuous and there was an advantage.

Not to mention the ruck contests, Ryder appears to push his opponent in the back nearly every time.

I think something that is becoming really obvious is that too many of the rules are far too subjective and probably a little complicated over all. Must be an absolute nightmare for the umpires.

Trolling trolls with trolls doesnt actually teach them a lesson it just gives them what they want.

Dealing with a troll with logic and reasoning usually defeats them and they move on.

But hey, be a warrior for internet justice if you like, its a job with no end date though.

I also fail to see how your original comment re:Adelaide is a response to a troll...it seems like you were trying ti start a shitfight.
 
The paid ‘mark’to Matt Crouch when down by 5pts in the last which led to Adelaide’s goal to hit the front was much worse.

Umpires this year seem to have forgotten that you can't use your hands to push your opponent out of the marking contest

Whoever is coaching them is a dead set imbecile

They pinged Laird for it earlier.

13 of the last 14 frees went to Port, but odd.

How far did Motlop run?
