AFL Grand Final 2021 Grand Final - Melbourne vs Western Bulldogs - Sat, Sept 25 - 5:15pm AWST / 7:15pm AEST

[grumbleguts]

Cheats making out like bandits in this league, which is not a league.

 

[Simon Crawshay]

it's up to you, Melbourne. The other 3 teams are unlikeable scum.

All my chips are on Melbourne, come on the Dees!

 

[Iceman!]

Gabba isn't neutral

Yeah it is, they are all Broncos fans

Please be a Demons and Power grand final

The umpiring in that game was an absolute disgrace. Lions should feel robbed.

Some weird free kicks paid during the game, some completely in contrast to how they have been paid during the whole of the season.

Then with a minute to go ruck free to the Dogs.

Go figure

Ummm, was at the Gabba…

I know, I was being ironic. At least I thought I was.

You clearly don’t know any of the mouthy Melbourne supporters getting around.

 

[Simon Crawshay]

I mean to call a highly technical centre square infringement like that at that at stage of the game given probably less than one a match gets called on average a game....

 

[RoughysMullet]

Melbourne Port granny please

 

[Ram-Man]

Umpiring was poor and appeared to favour the dogs, however the lions ball use was deplorable for most of the night … dogs were slightly cleaner … no wonder the Hawks beat these two teams.

We shouldn’t expect any better, the umpires have lost the plot. How the hell can you pay 2 HTB‘s when a player is legitimately trying to take possession and then ignore the Bulldogs player laying on the ball with a few minutes to go. Then you have Daniel’s “insufficient intent” when hacking a ball out of mid air. What planet are these morons on?
FFS, can’t they develop an understanding of the game and how it actually works?

That is not even the bad one for me, that no HTB call when the Dogs player dove on the ball just before the Smith goal is wild... That has been called all year every time.

Staggering decision

 

[Tuck In]

Enormous dilemma for AFL if Dogs and Cats win. How do they split the bullshit free kicks?

Gutless decision. They paid they exact same thing in the 3rd qtr against McCluggage.

 

[Mercy Seat]

You know the umpiring is bad when ex AFL umpire boss has this to say.

Unstoppable force meets the unmovable object...

We will finally get our answer

The world will implode.

You can't even say they swallowed the whistle because they were paying EVERYTHING...

 

[The Jet From Poowong]

Good luck to the dogs
But do they ever lose a free kick count in a game. Serious question

 

[killerspud]

ice in the veins

It was definitely something in the veins, should have used it last week

deliberate OOB was also bullshit.

 

[Off The Couch]

Umps werent great but Lions have themselves to blame , played a poor game and were up at 3/4 time at home.

Straight sets 2 of the last 3 years and a prelim loss last season .

too be fair, given they were one man down from half time, I reckon they went okay

 

[TylerDurden]

Epic game.

IDGAF, I just want the Cats gone and to see Selwoods and Dangers faces on the siren. And C Scott.

 

[CliffMcTainshaw]

The standard of umpiring across the final series has been underwhelming.

Abysmal weren't they. McInerney's throw near the centre and Daniel's kick ruled as deliberate were two I remember when the pressure was really on.
Without the Bont and Weightman I can't see them beating Port next week.
