I don't understand all the chest beating here. Am I the only one who is not at all happy with the win? Our season now looks to have an asterisk on it all over a rather dubious score review.

Don't get me wrong, 8 in a row looks sweet on paper, but it now looks undeserved.

The game will always have controversies. But this one kills me inside. I want my team fighting and winning fair.

Wouldn't it have also been better to lose that one for the sake of the players' psychological approach? I don't want them getting ahead of themselves now in these last two games.

the umpire stuff is out of your hands, just like petracca's one-handed handball. i don't feel great about the petracca goal, not because i'm sure it was a goal but i would prefer no controversy either. but we've got the 4 points, it's done. i suppose some of the chest-beating might be people taking pleasure at melbourne fans feeling they were hard done by but that's not really football related, that's something else entirely.

i was frustrated most of the night actually, but still happy with the win. melbourne always seemed to be at the fall of the ball, we rarely seemed to get a look in after a contest. but that's the frustration of playing a good team and not having it your own way.
 
Vossy said in the press conference that marchy said that he definitely did. It's in the book as such now.
Marchbank was frantically gesturing that he touched it as soon as he hit the ground.

Based on not much, Marchbank doesn't seem like the type to make it up.

Thatis a terrible take. Decision could go either way. Someone was going to be unlucky.

Have an asterisk against it. Just absolute rubbish. How about the dees getting a goal from the most dubious dump tackle ever. Razor ray watches tackle, calls for a ball up and second guesses himself and thinks I better pay a free. Clearly if the dees win there would have been an asterisk against it.

Next you'll be getting a British passport and bemoaning "the spirit of football".
 
I’m blown away how many start chirping when it’s not quite happening.

Even after 7 is a row - playing the best team in the comp, leading by 3pts - all they can do it’s b****.

This is so exciting - can’t imagine why some just can’t enjoy this.
If people want to react in the gameday thread, let 'em react.

Not everyone's the same when they watch the game we all love. It's part of the charm of the thing.

To be fair to Ray, he was content to let the play continue; it was called by a (much) further away umpire. Made me wonder if it's possible for one umpire to overrule another once the whistle has been blown

How many times have we lost because of our players being a ragged, frees not paid.

It’s football - the umpire made the call and it is what it is. There’s no asterisk on this win and that is a totally defeatist attitude to have after we’ve just broken a 10yr finals drought.

Each to their own tho, you can feel how you want.
 
Great coaching to nullify Lever and May’s impact; only 1 genuine key forward runs the risk of making us too predictable but despite our inefficiencies going forward, we still avoided them running it out with ease.

Jack Martin had a bit to do with that. Incredibly smart footballer and a terribly awkward match up. Knows exactly where and when to lead. Can’t wait for a set up with him, Charlie and Harry.
