Game Day AFL Finals 2024 - Match discussion party thread

[DJ75]

That insufficient intent free was absolutely wrong. They really need to review calls like that automatically to correct the incompent or malicious calls from the field umpires.

And wildly different to the two blatant ones they didn’t pay against Port last night

Swans-Port Friday night
Cats-Lions Saturday twilight

Would be the most likely.

Would be good to know the the Port result early. If Port win then I will barrack for Geelong as I feel they are best equipped to beat Port. If Swans win then I'd prefer a Brisbane premiership so will barrack for Brisbane.

Disgusting joke of a game..
Umpiring was just ridiculously biased toward the lions

The sentiment seems to be mostly gone now but it always surprised me how long people would spew out the "AFL wants GWS to win a flag" line. Nearly every single big, close final they've been in they've been absolutely dudded by the umps.

I don't know if it's a noise of affirmation thing, but goodness me they get bent over.

Sydney, Port, Geelong, Brisbane. **** me dead, what a shit sandwich to have left.

Only redeeming factor is that 3 are non Vics, but still, ugh.

Can't get behind Brisbane?

 

[SugarShane]

Can't get behind Brisbane?

Cameron, Zorko, Daniher, Hipwood. That's a no from me.

 

[SugarShane]

Biggest finals choke since the 93 prelim. Unbelievable to lose from 8 goals up.

Even bigger.

Second biggest ever.

AFL

Second greatest finals comeback ever 😎

Yeah, Cameron winning a premiership would be ordinary.

 

[Cap]

Well that was unexpected.

Well done Lions...not sure what you take from that if you are GWS

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

People are actually arguing the deliberate out of bounds free?

 

[GreyCrow]

I tipped Brisbane

Only keeping a lazy eye on proceedings but it seemed a massive choke by GWS which made it a great game to watch

 

[Eagleboy2011]

Three key moments:

1) Ash goaled halfway through the 3rd quarter and they celebrated like they'd won the flag. Was the turning point.

2) Daniels took the advantage when they had a set shot free kick 10m out directly in front and missed in Q4

3) Lachie Keeffe's pitiful set shot in Q4

I believe anyone watching thought game over at that point.

Didn’t see it, so it was or wasn’t a free?

 

[GROTTO]

I dont think it should have been paid, but the umpire probably didnt benefit from the angle we could see on the TV.

Doesn’t look clear cut to me. Pretty harsh

 

[BRL121]

Including Ash and everyone else in the GWS team. That's the salient point.

If they were playing Port in the GF I can

So how does the Adelaide Bigfooty board feel about super coach Adam Kingsley now?

Still would have more coaching ability in his left butt cheek than Nix has in his entire chrome dome.

Port were horrible and didn't turn up against the Cats. I can't see it happening again, especially as Port won't have the favourtism tag in a GF.

I think whoever wins Friday night wins the flag. I think it will be Sydney.

Thanks

The first shot you say yeah pay that every day - the 2nd angle does show the attempted side hand to somebody down the field

But in the moment call it deliberate

 

[GreyCrow]

I did think there was a free not paid in the dying minute which would have allowed Brisbane to kick downfield

I was shocked to see the umpire throwing the ball up

( as noted only half eye on screen)

 

[jenny61_99]

Still would have more coaching ability in his left butt cheek than Nix has in his entire chrome dome.

And has achieved what? Has had how many concessions and top 3 picks?

 

[kirky]

I’m not a bragger or a gambler but I’m putting all four of my houses on them.

Sorry but we don’t include Monopoly houses.

 

[ftmch]

Cameron, Zorko, Daniher, Hipwood. That's a no from me.

Yep. You can add Rayner, Neale and Lohmann to that list.

Can believe I'm at a point where I'm hoping for Geelong premiership.

I genuinely don't reckon it was there

 

[Crow-eater]

The deliberate call was very harsh.

The blatant throw 2 seconds earlier not being paid was egregious. Swings and roundabouts.
