Autopsy AFL 2019 Round 15: Essendon v Greater Western Sydney, 7:20pm AEST Marvel Stadium

[Coasters7]

Other thing that pissed me off was the excitement of the voices in the box when the ball was bounced after the touched incident. They all knew it was touched but it didn’t fit the narrative and excitement so said nothing.

 

[Jobe Watson]

Sydney in Melbourne and then our bunnies North Melbourne to come. Decent shot at finals from here.

 

[Lance Uppercut]

This wouldn't be the "win" to gloat about champ

Really? Why's that, turbo?

Also, the quotation marks are a bit misplaced muscles

 

[Magma]

mckernan knows it's touched too with his celebration.

do the system properly or dont bother.

 

[Andronicus]

Geez.
West Australian umpires got banned from umpiring our games remember? This shows the AFL accept bias.
And yes, I'd be happy to have neutral unbiased umpires in Perth thanks.

It's better for the game.

Brilliant.

 

[Xtreme]

A shame that the second favourite for the 2019 premiership lost tonight

But they will rebound next week

 

[Numero Uno]

that game reminded me of WC playing the Dons in melb for 25 years

dead set Victorian cheating

 

[mxett]

Hooksey was massive that quarter

 

[Eagleboy68]

Uhhh.

Banned eh?

You might wanna check where Margetts is from and who he umpired last Thursday night.

Meh.

Why fight something that's not an issue unless you know it's a fact
He was suspended for same games...happy?

But your cheating umpires vfl constantly cheat every week against interstate sides and the vfl does nothing because they'd run out of umpires.

Carry on

 

[JayJ20]

Umps had a big influence and I don't care one bit after the Sydney, Collingwood and every other BS umpiring we've faced the last 3 years. Delicious win.

 

[GuzzLG]

Now we have to hear all the flog fans and media crap on about a "gutsy" win, when the reality was it was handed to them.

Frauds

Who’s claiming it was well earned?

 

[Andronicus]

Rarely. Hence the warning.

Gaff rarely punches Brayshaw.

Warning it is

 

[Milanista28]

If we had Joey and Jake in that last quarter we would've kicked 15 goals, the dominance we had was awesome.

that game reminded me of WC playing the Dons in melb for 25 years

dead set Victorian cheating

and every team playing the eagles in Perth

 

[Power Raid]

It will be interesting to here Gil's assessment of tonight

I hope you aren't a close observer of stats.

 

[Pakenhamsaint]

Going off the SD footage off twitter I reckon it was about there it happened.

 

[juss]

Has to be a directive to Seven not to discuss the touched goal.

100%

They don't want more attention on their amateur system. They have been getting slammed all week on talk back radio about it. Whately is leading the charge against it.

Thanks for proving you have no common sense.

Shows why you think your club is always getting robbed by the umps.

 

[boncer34]

Which games? Links to articles please.

Also where is Dalgleish from and where did he umpire last Thursday night?

 

[Eagleboy68]

Ive got no horse in this race, and a dons win is actually good for the Eagles...

But that was hard to watch.

It's a really sorry state if affairs when you can pick the moment in a final quarter where umps are going to stick the boot in.

About 3.5mins to go and gws had control and a goal up.

Suddenly kicks arent 15.

Play-ons called immediately.

Heppell not pinged despite not even attempting to get rid of it.

Then gets a free for high contact when kt was a grazing arm as both players were tangled and going for it (gws player beating him to the ball).

Ugh.... aweful to watch and even worse to stomach when its backed up by bruce losing his load over it.

Commentary not making any mention of jt. Just how great Essendon are.

Nothing short of a blight on our game.

Umps should not be allowed to change their adjudication at any point in a game regardless of time / momentum / result etc.

So angry and cant imagine how GWS fans would be feeling watching that crap.

I can imagine it as we have been shafted by the bias cheating for 30 years including stealing home finals we've earnt and playing Essendon in Melbourne when it should have been in Perth.

This is a massive issue for the AFL and the incompetence and bias is a blight on our game

 

[Numero Uno]

and every team playing the eagles in Perth

this Victorian lie..sheesh

just like last week where we dominated yet the umps managed to 'find' Essendon 4-5 goals

 

[Beats]

Genuinely trash umpiring. What was the free kick count in the second half? 16-1?

 

[Eagleboy68]

Which games? Links to articles please.

Also where is Dalgleish from and where did he umpire last Thursday night?

Find it yourself.

They were suspended after the Eagles bombers game last year that you won.

And I admit there was bias...like there was tonight.

The review system is an absolute disgrace

Yep and if the CEO can not get his staff to fix it up which he clearly can not then it falls on him . He is completely inept .
