Enormous respect for the JYD’s football knowledge.
He’s more than just a pretty face. I agree with all of his ratings.
Nah Swans are big enough in Sydney now even a few years in the bottom they have a strong enough base that it wont drop off that much.
AFL will give Swans prime-time slots that will bring in big crowds. And going to the SCG under lights is a great night out on a Friday or Saturday night.
I will never for the life of me understand why that was not HTB against Heeney when Darcy snaffled him up. Had prior, went the fend, thought he’d be able to sidestep him. Didn’t. Should have been a shot on goal for us.
I had no problem with it. Don’t think he had much prior at all

Will keep coming back to that one in the middle in the 4th.
The non-call that resulted in a goal to the swans. Think everything else was neither here nor there. But THAT one. ><

The non-HTB to Freddy inside 50 baffled me when he had the Sydney player dead to rights for a good 5 seconds but the ump doesn't blow the whistle and lets the Sydney player break free. I was under the impression they were supposed to be blowing the whistle quicker now.
The Warner running backwards on the wing was questionable as well. Took a few steps, stopped and evaded Frederick with more steps. Clearly held on for too long.
Can’t see it. He was the best for the first 5-6 weeks but unfortunately only get maximum 3 votes v the 10 coaches MVP votes.
Then Gulden and Warner have come to the front. Wouldn’t be surprised if all 3 make top 5, but steal votes off each other at the wrong time.
Cripps will probably ease home given Carlton’s red hot form. Has no one to take votes off him.
Wouldn’t have the balls to call play on in that instance. The shanked kick made up for it.
What if that was Buddy? He was allowed to deviated quite a bit off the line.

Remember , if Freo had lost (or Drawn) the reason was not manning up on Blakely at that final throw in. So completely obvious.
I think they forgot the score line and the time remaining and setup as per normal to attack the ball from rucks. But at that time of game and trying to stop scoring it should have been man on man everywhere . Especially on a champion ball magnet like Blakely.
So umpires make mistakes . but it didnt impact a win or lose for either side.
WE had some great luck with the shanked kick. But need to look at 3rd qtr to work out how the sydeny players got so much run on versus the first 2 qtrs especially the first qtr
I am sure Justin as coach will not be thinking bad umpiring. he will discuss the 3rd qtr and that last minute in detail then move on with the players

Fair point.
I do admire how good Sydney have been with their list management over the last 20 years to keep themselves in the mix.

You know what I loved. The celebration at the end of the game by Clark. He was going off. Really great to see the passion and hunger of the group.

Yes, to be fair to Gary Lyon - who in my 2 doses of full replay gave appropriate kudos to Freo - he urged just prior to the Blakey grab that Freo needed to guard the back and “someone needs to be on Blakey!” Next thing you know…
It is nightmare recall territory but JL should be across it as you say.
It was a bit loopy, but yes. I really didn't think he should have called for it in such a dangerous spot. He was very insistent that Davies kick it to him. He was as much to blame.

Think partly because he was meant to man Blakely at that last stoppage but was too busy directing others lol ..
Let's see what he says on the poddy
seen discussion of this so here is the AFL rule
20.5.1 (b) where the Kick will occur after the siren, the Player shall be entitled to approach The Mark from any direction, as long as the location of the Kick does not improve the angle to the goal posts.
So basically the player can take an arc from one side or the other. but MUST kick over the MARK.
Starting your run in on the line of he mark and then heading to right or left on an Arc is not allowed. You must at all times kick over the MArk or it is playon
But hey umpires make mistakes. luckily they make less mistakes than players.
