Buckley's rolling zone? Is that what we are calling last years monstrosity? |
In no fault of he’s own, cam also predetermined Ginnivan would win obvious free kicks. And we all know how that ended.

I love mcreery, but we gotta get more going forward from him
With Grundy and mihocech coming back either mcreery or hoskin Elliott will come under pressure |

We’re trolling the competition now 😂 |
^ One of the most entertaining things about today's win was Elliott's missed set shot from about 50 out, just left of centre. About a million Essendon supporters are eating their own livers after seeing that. |
GOLD ⭐️🌟🥇
LMAO 🤣

I rarely comment on umpiring, because it is often used an an excuse to camouflage poor play. But......seriously, Port were gifted at least 4 goals by the umps, a trend which started before the first bounce!!
Aside from that, it was a gutsy win by the Pies against a hard team playing to keep their season alive. Losing Adams and Howe made the win more commendable.
Anyone who doubts the worth of De Goey, watch a replay of this game. His power and presence around packs was match-winning stuff. We need to keep him if we are to keep our Premiership window open over the next few years.
'Magic' Johnson is a beauty. Ginni needs to just play the ball and don't expect to get any free kicks regardless of how he is tackled. He is a natural crumbing forward specialist.
I thought it was Lipinski's best game for a few weeks, and the best 2nd half from WHE. Bianco had a few bad errors in the first quarter, but had a good impact later, especially in the final quarter. Carmichael can play!
Cameron is very good all over the ground, despite not often being recognised for his performance by a lot of Pies supporters.
With Grundy and Checkers due to return next week, we should be even stronger, which we will need to be to get over the Dees.
10 in a row! Go Pies.

I get frustrated with the umpires because as a rule I don’t give them the time of day but geez you can’t be stuck in utter denial that their performances at the moment are crook 🙄 Very ordinary effort but my frustration is that the AFL either don’t seem to notice or don’t give a shit 😡 They are scared of the Fuhrer. Pathetic really 👎🏾 We are doing well to beat 25 opposition players and umpires 🤬

I will revisit this quote. And it's 'his own'.

Exactly RB. And I’m pissed off that the Martians are causing people like us who don’t really GAF about umpiring because it is a necessary function, to notice how shit they are week after week (I’d forgive them for one or two bad games because that’s a given) but so many this season? Seriously?😳🤬

So far this season I can only recall one howler that went our way and that was last weeks Murphy non 50 metre penalty before the winning goal.
We've had to endure multiple anti-Ginni highs, that Moore deliberate rushed behind and todays abominations to name just a few.
One that really set me off was McReary's textbook tackle on Dusty being paid high. It ruined our momentum when the game was hot. |
That wasn’t a howler. Was a correct non award. Listen to ray chamberlains explanation on the Whateley show.[/quote]
That was technically correct because the umpire hadn’t entirely motioned the free kick with his arms. It’s not when the whistle is blown (cos the whistle could be for anything) but it’s when the umpire motions and points. Technically correct non call.

Mate, you know, and i thiink your from my vintage, i honestly believe the umpiring was far better, fairer, back in the day, of just two field umpires, or even yep, way back, of only one umpire. Like the days of Jeff Crouch, and Bill Deller, John James, the aboriginal, it was better then |
It was, except for the deaf as a post umpire Robinson who didn’t hear the final siren in the 1977 night GF until Kerry Good had marked the ball many seconds after the siren and kicked the winning goal for North 😭😢

I agree with that, Skids. I'm still scarred from memories of 2003 and 2011 when we belted plenty of sides but still weren't good enough in the end. And we all kind of felt that way going into those grannies, too, if I remember rightly.

You obviously didn’t watch the game. You of all posters should know that the free kick numbers mean Jack shit. It’s where the Martians pull them out of their arse.

One way to phrase it, thinking back on those years, is this: better to know we've got an extra gear than to know they've got an extra gear (which was the case in 2003 and 2011).
This year, even if we think an opponent might have an extra gear, we and they also know we've got one, too, which is a much better mental script to take into a knockout final.

| I liked the way Fly said it was more like a win by a few goals. Reckon it was his way of saying the umps gifted Port several goals. |
