Imagine a sport where you can kick more goals in the championship match and still lose lol

 

[Southerntakeover]

I mean, this ****ing year of all years we still have people turning up on the Adelaide board of all places and claiming that the shittiness of AFL umpiring doesn't cost games.

Good god, what does it take for you people?

 

[dogs105]

At least we can stop saying "what if this umpiring costs a team a GF one day"...

But but but the umpiring was good for the majority of the match

 

[Scorpus]

Of course it did. The game was balanced, that decision dramatically swung the probability of winning.

This dull need people have to to apologise for the absurd dodginess of this league is beyond me. Do we think they'll reward us if we just accept the non-stop interstate dicking over with good grace? Spoiler: they won't.

The game wasn't balanced, Brisbane were down by 4 points with a minute to go. Collingwood would be heavy favorites to win from that position even with a free kick 60m out to Brisbane.

premiership player.

Sheesh.

No ill will towards the guy but it’s criminal that people like Noble, McStay and Adam’s etc miss out and don’t get a medal.

I don't remember the Frampton handball

The AFL's official stance is "If you don't want to be dogged by umpires, then kick more goals earlier."

 

[Shuestar13]

I don't remember the Frampton handball

It was on the boundary line during the third quarter

A fascinating viewpoint throughout the last few pages. As I am a guest on this board, I shall refrain from commenting

Do you not understand how the scoring works or something?

They had the opportunity to execute an attacking play when a singular score could take the lead. That's as balanced as a game is capable of being at that point, other than scores exactly level.

 

[Brett Cummings]

Glad this seasons over. Worse than the covid year.

 

[Moonwatcher]

Can't wait for Teflon Gil's acknowledgement that it was the wrong call next week.

Should do it tonight while everyone is distracted by Australia v Netherlands ODI

You should occasionally remember that we tolerate you, and stop being smug.

 

[Owen_AFC97]

I don't remember the Frampton handball

Was on the outer wing. Couldn’t see it on the tv angle.

 

[Moonwatcher]

Goad this seasons over. Worse than the covid year.

Has been a good year. The Crows gave me hope for the first time.

Good god, what does it take for you people?

It was a bad decision. A terrible one.

But didn't directly cost the game.


Free kick 60m out with most of the 36 players in Brisbane's forward line. Collingwood players time to set up.


Unlikely to get a goal from that. Lions had few marks inside 50 all day.



Is also likely the Brisbane players knew this and played on after hearing the whistle. Chaos ball more likely to score a goal v a free kick 60 out.

It was how they scored all day.

Haha

 

[Crowbling]

It was on the boundary line during the third quarter

That and an attempted kick off the ground, and half a dozen missed opportunities to take a mark inside 50.. or as Matthew Richardson would call it, a lockdown performance on Harris Andrews.

There's nothing unlikely about it. It was entirely within the realm of possibilities: Collingwood were rattled.

Billy Frampton premiership player.

Thats the way the cookie crumbles. Happens nearly every year.

History will forever say Billy is a premiership player now and no one can take that away from him.

Who cares what sort of game he played..

For all we know he played the exact game (by dragging his oppenent away from the contest) mcrea wanted him to..

Is there a touch of tall poppy syndrome going on in here… or professional jelousy?..

Good on Billy I say!..

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

It was only one decision in a pretty well umpired game overall

However what odds would you have that the one dodgy, late call would favour Collingwood?

$1.00000000000000000001

vs favouring Brisbane paying $260billion

 

[Moonwatcher]

Billy Frampton, worst gf game ever?

Probably, there have been players to get fewer possessions but they are unlikely to have wasted as many goal scoring opportunities. Cameron Mooney had 0 disposals for North Melbourne in the 1999 GF.
