The game was far from over if ford put that in. Couldn’t believe my eyes.. “he did didnt he? ****”Gosh when I saw that cheap 50 given against us, I was quickly reminded of Scott not getting one against the Pies.
As much as we chirp about Ford missing the shot late, and it was a bad miss, the game was already handed to them by that stage.
Lol how about Souve playing on and falling over within the first minute? We had repeat entries in the first Q, should have been 3 or 4 goals up, instead down by one.score should of been closer than the end result! the Logue howler kick and Kerch having a brain fade
I haven't and won't watch the replay, but I swear Zurhaar copped a blatant shove in the back in a marking contest that was just ignored by the umpires.Was staggering when an umpire 5m away with a perfect view missed Larkey copping one to the face.
So an umpire much further away had to pay it.
Bit like when Larkey was in the pocket and copped one in head, with umpire watching about 2m away and ignoring it.
Starting? Ive hated the AFL and the game of AFL for best part of a decade. Its trash.I’m actually starting to hate it. I love North, I hate the AFL.

Issues in the game are not new. This isn’t down to one single person. The game has been ****ed for years and years and if I recall Laura hasn’t been there that long. But you go on hating on a woman. Man ****ed this game up.Laura couldn’t run a chook raffle.
She’s a blithering idiot that has a job because of her gender and not on merit.
The quicker they punt the clown, the better it will be for the competition.
Agree, i believe she has the job due to being a barrister like her bossIssues in the game are not new. This isn’t down to one single person. The game has been ****ed for years and years and if I recall Laura hasn’t been there that long. But you go on hating on a woman. Man ****ed this game up.
Probably. The AFL has always been a “jobs for mates” Industry.Agree, i believeshe has the job due to being a barrister like her boss
Correct. Same as the head contact to larkey nominated by scottywiperI haven't and won't watch the replay, but I swear Zurhaar copped a blatant shove in the back in a marking contest that was just ignored by the umpires.
Spot on. Despite our dumb mistakes and some dodgy umpiring, we were well in that game. One of those things we can control. Clean up the dumb mistakes and the shit umpiring is much less devastating.People can blame the umpires, yeh they screwed us but we screwed ourselves more
Hitting goals like that are far far more important than the 50m.The game was far from over if ford put that in. Couldn’t believe my eyes.. “he did didnt he? ****”
he was in a position where its almost harder to miss the goal than it is to kick it.Hitting goals like that are far far more important than the 50m.
It'll happen if the team reaches its ceiling. Good sides don't get punished.People need to move themselves past thinking we will ever get a clear run at it from the umps.
We need to be better so they aren’t a factor.
It is abundantly evident we will never be getting a ride. We need to nail every opportunity we get.
The ceiling of this side is significant, it won’t be long and free kicks won’t matter all that much.
Ump made up for it soon after when Jesse was able to infringe without being penalised. So it evens out in the long run.And the worst decision of the year goes to Jesse Motlop.
The free for no one touching you.
I hate to say it, but leaving aside general umpiring incompetence (which of course plays a role) I think Larkey is paying the price for over-egging too many ‘marking contest infringements’. He doesn’t get paid a lot that are there, but also puts way too much mayo on a lot that might not quite be there. I think he’s got a reputation for that now amongst umpires that is hurting him when genuine ones are there.
Stop playing the woman bashing angle. She useless, actually she is beyond useless. That’s not gender based, that’s just her as a footy administrator.Issues in the game are not new. This isn’t down to one single person. The game has been ****ed for years and years and if I recall Laura hasn’t been there that long. But you go on hating on a woman. Man ****ed this game up.
I can ****ing list em, Adrian Anderson, Brad Scott, Hocking, Gil, Macburney, whoever the head of the umpiring department before that clown.. there is a plethora of men who ****ed our game. But its all Lauras fault. She isn’t void from criticism but your lack of understanding is disturbing.
You would be one to blame a government that has been in power for 3/4 of a term and blame them for the current economic status in the country. Its from years and years and years of neglect.
I see it now It Must Be Them
He must be popular with the umpiring crew? That free kick in the second against, actually I am still trying to figure against who as no one actually infringed against him was beyond belief.Ump made up for it soon after when Jesse was able to infringe without being penalised. So it evens out in the long run.
He's the new anointed whipping boy.As usual, Jy played well, but for some reason, people have unrealistic expectations of him.
I’m not as ballistic as some on here concerning HTB decisions overall. The biggest problem is that it’s been rendered almost impossible to adjudicate. Therefore, there’s always going to be “winners and losers”. Every contest becomes a “hold your breath” moment, waiting to see whether the outcome goes your way. Unfortunately, we were on the wrong end of very important decisions that resulted in goals. The Fisher and Curtis situations were the most obvious. Personally speaking, I’d prefer to see HTB removed from the game completely. It’s just too hard. I know, I know, it will result in messy “maul” situations. To me, fairness trumps those concerns. Obviously, I’m not a traditionalist. I only started watching footy when I was 31 in 1986. I’ve played Gaelic, Rugby, Soccer, Hurling and a tiny bit of footy. Therefore, I’m never going to be as stuck in my ways as others. Having said that, footy is my favourite game of all.the fogarty htb near the boundary was terrible as well! threw an arm around around fisher and knocked the ball out of his hand and that gets paid holding the ball.
