Autopsy AFL 2021 First Semi Final - Lions v Bulldogs Sat September 4th 7:20 EST (Gabba)

[jackess]

Those two free kicks were there though.
Don’t do anything stupid like that by Cameron. Neale didn’t get close with his kick from a ‘deliberate’

At least the deliberate call was consistent with the McInerney deliberate. Other frees were pulled from nowhere

 

[banzai]

On a side, these media flogs are trying to get Weightman into the prelim. Would be an absolute rort if they got away with it.

To be fair Port subbed Fantasia off when he wasn't really injured. I'm sure he's back training fine inside the 12 days. The whole 12 days rule is the worst in football.

 

[RichLeMonde]

We all knew it would happen.

We all saw it happen.

We all know nothing will happen.

The compliant media will pretend it didn’t happen.

Business as usual.

Presume you're talking about Brisbane going out in straight sets?

You're right. We should start a campaign to make sure the media don't let this slide.

 

[adogsfan5]

post the dogs free kick counts for this finals series.

dare you to do it

I have some stats. 2 wins and 1 jab on the boundary.

They were all alone inside fifty, sprinting towards goal and onto a loose ball. It was a massive play. Looked for all money like Charlie would use his speed to weave his magic and maybe kick the winning goal (or at least scrub a behind and tie the game up)

Hell of a spot for Duryea to be in, but he did bloody well to somehow get it across the boundary line

With hindsight, that was the Lions' last real chance to win it.

Charlie was well blanketed by Duryea in the 2nd half. He fluffed that golden opportunity in the 3rd quarter… and that was basically it.

 

[almuz]

Is that what he was doing

That was weird, would like to see the reverse angle what was he doing?

Basketball celebration

 

[toxic]

INTENT!!!! Look it up in the dictionary.

He was 10 metres inside the boundary and tried to kick the ball straight, are you saying every single kick that comes off the side of the boot is a lack of intent? Because that would increase the amount of frees by a lot I would imagine

So he kicked the ball by CHOICE

it went nowhere near a team mate and straight out of bounds.

It's a free every day under the rule as it stands and has been adjudicated all year.

Do I personally like the rule - NO - but the decision was right imho.

And fwiw I had the Lions running for a LOT$$$ to win tonight

 

[hk89]

Dogs flogged v Port next week

I hope not. I'm looking for a close game with Port winning from a goal after the siren that resulted from a dodgy free kick.

 

[Kangaroos4eva]

Didn’t think the umps were a major contributing influence. The dogs were too good in the end.

 

[Smeg Head]

Are you gonna report it while In Perth.. or when interstate? Would only make sense if interstate.

Me? I thought you wanted some assistance in reporting in.

 

[Dazza the Viking]

On a side, these media flogs are trying to get Weightman into the prelim. Would be an absolute rort if they got away with it.

Don’t think the umps can get Weightman over line for next week

 

[adogsfan5]

Me? I thought you wanted some assistance in reporting in.

Never asked. Someone else wanted it.

 

[hutchy31]

The Bulldogs got to Brisbane on Thursday. They were allowed to train once, go for one walk, had to stay in their room at all times, only leave for meals, with one third of the team at a time. The only other time they met as a team was at the ground, before the game.

Insane for a Semi Final.

But umpires?

Thank you for a semblance of reason within this shithouse of a tinfoil-hat wearing thread.

They’ll be doing something similar next week when Port players wander around doing what they want. But if the dogs manage to win it’ll be umpires umpires umpires.

For those of you keeping count, that’s Tasmania and Queensland down. SA and WA to go.

 

[fishardansin]

Those Bummer tears must be still salty !!!

zing! .... that was a joke ... right?

 

[jonnobackpocket]

Weird to think that Brisbane and North achieved the same amount this year in the end

Weird to this someone is that thick they could write that.

 

[YeoShuey]

Who do the umps usually support in Bulldogs vs Melbourne matches? Probably two of the most protected teams in the league.

 

[Freshwater]

Toby Green did exactly what every non Vic fan would love to do purely for what our clubs have to endure in this biased league..
The AFL called it a bad look and dont want it at grassroots level, the irony is that kids all around the country have to watch cheating scum umpires on national TV every weekend but not carry that with them into their arena's.

Getting worried?
Bonts goal disallowed was the worst decision, then Calebs deliberate out of bounds crap. And all the times the Lions threw the footy? So it evens itself out.

 

[Astro35]

Bulldogs win from a free kick. Well blow me down with a feather, didn't see that coming.

 

[Checkered]

Just validates what some of the great Geelong teams of the late 80s through mid 90s showed - attractive, attacking footy with mediocre defence gets shown up at the pointy end of the year.

Brisbane have some good individual proper defenders, but the foot speed is bad with the talls plus Rich and Birchall. Their good midfielders favour pushing forward over helping down back.

Only one point in it tonight, but I reckon Brisbane need to sort those game plan and personnel problems to go that next step.

Yeah very aware of our slow backline. Birchall should be done, and hopefully Answerth can get back to developing. Coleman just had his best game running off the back flank too so that was promising.

 

[PenfoldsFan]

I love it how Brisbane are given a free kick shot at goal to win the game after a ridiculous deliberate but he misses

Then The Brisbane ruckman blocks instead of competing for ruck at last contest...clear block...dumb sh*t

But its all the umpires

If lachie Neal kicks that goal and Brisbane win... no one is moaning about the umpires

That was a gutsy win by the Dogs.

the 2016 GF was complete corruption and a disgrace... people still have scars.

I love it how all year you flogs protest that theres no Vic/non Vic bias in the league yet when a fellow Vic team gets carried across the line you all come out from under your non finals playing rocks and prove otherwise.
Like night follows day.

 

[philthy05]

The dumbest part of these conspiracies is that the AFL want nothing more than to see GWS be successful ( and to a lesser extent Brisbane). That's what would grow the game and improve the bottom line the most. The AFL gain nothing from the likes of Geelong being successful as they have fully capitalised that market already ( especially with Geelong and WB having both been recently successful whilst for Brisbane its been 2 decades and GWS never).

The afl absolutely does not require gws or other non-Vic teams to win premierships, especially not multiple times over a successful period.

All they require is access to those markets via playing games there to get a bigger broadcast deal and sponsor money.

neither of those things are at risk by brisbane or gws or whoever getting knocked out in finals

 

[adogsfan5]

Who do the umps usually support in Bulldogs vs Melbourne matches? Probably two of the most protected teams in the league.

Shhhh be careful..they are a touchy breed on here.

 

[LeoMessi]

? Definitely Brisbane and GWS actually.

And Port against the Cats. That was a shocking umpiring display

 

[Black Saab]

Neither seem to have enough KPP depth to beat us in a 50/50 game. You'd think they'd have to sh*t on us in the middle or we'd have to have a terrible night in front of goal.

Yeah, though it was a cracking game it was hard to pick one team more dominant than the other. Brisbane's injuries would have been significant next week and I guess we'll see who makes it through for the Dogs.

I was impressed by both teams ability to hold off a collapse and fight back against the momentum when they didn't have it. The Dogs fell 3 goals down in the third didn't they? I thought that could have been it but they showed serious resolve to get back in it.

 

[FreoRicci]

What happened to Daniher? Thought Lachie was meh.
