I was pretty shocked at some of the calls going the Dons way late

 

[CatToTheFuture]

We are at home against a team out of the eight.

We will win.

I said this about us and the dogs.....

.... F*!

Rachele talking finals with 5 games to go….

 

[Sherrinator]

It has been years and I still get shocked he was a DFA from Brisbane

He was a terrible player with us which was a shame as he’s a Brisbane boy. Just needed more opportunity in a specific role so good on him for carving out a career.

Yeah guys don't get delisted for no reason so makes sense, but turnaround for him is stark

 

[Lavender Bushranger]

Has there ever been more sh*t spoken by a coach at a post-match press conference than what Scott served up?

Oh man.

I'm not sure that 'resultist' is even a word.

 

[CrowToon]

Arm Free - No attempt - Obvious holding the ball

Got a kick away (albeit accidently)

I agree the second one is fine as the ball hit his leg below the knee.....but where the hell are you seeing an arm free in the first one?

You genuinely need vision correction if you aren't seeing both arms held in a tackle. Arm free is an arm not caught in the tackle.

Yikes

 

[Golden_6]

That aged well.

Why?

A good offensive game doesn’t change the consistency over the whole season. I said he was a good offensive player and he showed that in moments last night. There were numerous poor efforts again throughout the course of the game.

A couple of good moments doesn’t change what I said that and it will have to improve considerably for him to live up to the player he thinks he is.

It’s not hahaha

 

[Leather Poisoning]

Talking about results is resultist

It's possible

 

[Osho]

That tall blond bloke on the run to goal with 2 pass options decides to outside the foot kick, on the run, at goal.

Then there were a couple of times Bombers tried to kick the ball off the ground in the back half, rather than head over ball and pick it up.

These decision - execution errors are typical of an emergent team. No doubt, Bombers are on the rise, these are learning experiences. I think they'll do well to win a single final this year.

Pressure will be much higher from 2025. Scott's hyperhidrosis will only worsen.

Caddy shack.

He's showing plenty of good signs; just not composure in forward 50 yet.

end up with, did he break the record?

 

[MickG88]

If Tex played instead of Thilthorpe the game wouldn't have been close.

Yeah, Essendon would have won easily.

 

[MickG88]

Official Stats:
Essendon 6 goals from Free Kicks.
Adelaide 1 goal from Free Kicks.

Didn't realise they kept official stats for umpire assisted goals.

 

[Elixuh]

That was a classic game from the package last night. His team needed him and he spudded it up. So overrated.

on band 1 compo money is looking good, for the 17 other clubs in the comp. He's your standard 2nd tall defender being played as their no.1.

 

[OverseasCrowNA]

Yeah that’s up there with one of the worst decisions I’ve seen.

AFL umpires under finals pressure

With just two AFL games on this weekend and four clubs facing sudden death semi-finals, the league's umpires will be under more scrutiny than they have faced all season.

Umpires boss admits mistake

Jeff Gieschen has conceded the umpire made a mistake in penalising Crow Scott Thompson for a push out in the final quarter on Saturday

www.afc.com.au

Funny how we always get screwed against Hawthorn in umpires

 

[BACCS]

Defensively, these teams are both terrible

Well, hate to break it to you, but we are the best defensive team in the league since round 11 and have been consistently top 6-8 all season. Last night we lost our best KPD early and our 2nd best just before half time, that’s always going to make things harder.
