Sugar-coat it all you like but the medal ain't his, Murphy hasn't played a game since June...
So suffer you ugly mofo, you get the pretend medal, LOL!
That's what I learnt! |
Really?
So much hate in such a little person.
I thought it was a brilliant touch.

Beveridge gave it to Murphy for his virtual coaching role, since injured.
A great gesture.

Leon Davis didn't exactly love his medal, I tend to agree, nice touch but it ain't the same if you haven't won it on the ground.

That is a little harsh.
But anyway they all spoke glowingly about Bob.
It got me thinking that you you need someone great in the playing group or in the support group.
We had Maxy and Millane in our GF wins.
I know the Aussie cricket side has some weird dude as their mascot
( maybe Donny may enlighten us on this )
Anyway you need some spiritual leader or someone who has great respect.

Sure bloody helps when you have on your side the umpires, one of the most biased umpiring efforts I have ever, ever seen in a GF, the swans could not buy a free kick, think it was 17-5 at one stage, just a joke, the dogs got two goals, fifty metres from very doubtful frees, Even the League official site is questioning the biased umpiring, check it out, no joke. Having said that, the welfare had a day out, the swans had a number of players well down, like buddy and heeney, tippet etc.

5. Did the men in green feel the pinch of a tense Grand Final?
As hard as it is for the players, the job of the umpires must be even more difficult on Grand Final day, and there were some puzzling decisions at the MCG. The Bulldogs led the free kick count 12-4 at half time, with more than a couple of head scratchers going their way. The third term ramped up the pressure on the players and the Dogs were given another two or three questionable decisions, with a 50-metre penalty against Jeremy Laidler, and a high shot on Clay Smith among them. The Swans didn't land a free kick at all in the third quarter, and co-captain Jarrad McVeigh certainly made his feelings known to the whistleblowers. The below the knees rule also seemed to be abandoned with Tom Papley and Dan Hannebery both brought down by Dale Morris and Easton Wood with no whistle.

^ lol Piesnchess!! The umps definitely had their doggie collars on today, and I loved every minute of it, loved every dodgy decision they payed to the dogs just to see those Cola sipping toffees up north suffer in their jocks and the crystal pure water tears on Mount Franklin's face.
I learnt that umpires can decide games if they want to and there are no rules in Grand Finals. Holding the ball and leg chopping did not exist today.

I thought the umps did a good job today
The game flowed a bit better with less umpire whistles.
Although the below the knees decisions were strange.
Dogs had the rub of the green today.

I thought the game was umpired well, they let it go and put the whistles away for most of the game. There were a few times you could have called for a free, but I'm glad they didn't.
A good game for mine is when you don't notice the umpires. This was one.
The one having a big sook is the clown who put $375,000 on the Swans to win.
Suffer dickhead.

Really ? lets see you laugh your head off in next years Finals, assuming we make it, and play the Welfare, and we get reamed up the ass the way the swans did today by the umps. Don't think you will be too full of mirth then, will you, and the welfare topped all teams for most frees for this season, think on that too.

Couldn't agree more! That's exactly what I have been thinking too.
Every team needs a spiritual leader to achieve its best and sadly, we don't have one at the moment. (Nothing against Pendles - he's a fabulous footballer and a good guy, but he lacks that "follow me over the cliff" type leadership). Perhaps one will emerge in the near future. |

Our coach isn't a motivator. |
