No Oppo Supporters Non Bulldog Footy Talk - Bulldogs only - Part 4

Great game and all, but seriously, the last 10-15 minutes was horrifically umpired.

It’s almost as if they were barracking for Richmond.

 

[Lex22]

How about Taylor's commentary 'Richmond lose...Richmond lose...Richmond are out, Richmond are out.................


..........


........Brisbane go on to play next week.'

He and the umpires were spectating hard for the Tigers.

Strange man, BT.

They started playing the Richmond song after the game then they quickly changed it lol

That’s understandable, they were just playing to the script.

Surprise ending, though.

How's Luke Hodge barracking during the whole call for Brisbane.

This is the standard of AFL commentary they accept?

 

[bresker]

Darcy Wilmot is a character , nice story

BT & James Brayshaw do it every game.

Hodgey I’ll half forgive, as he’s as dumb as dog s***.

The callers need to be more professional, though.

 

[bresker]

Is Shaq spending all his gambling ad money on doughnuts? Bloke gets fatter after every goal

Good to see the consistency of the dissent rule this year, what a ****ing joke to say the least. Robinson should have been hit with a 50m penalty for arguing over the late bump but didnt. 1/2 a season ago even raising your arms was dissent.

Brad Scott and his fairy umpiring rules have to GAGF'D

 

[Dogs Rule]

Just remembered that Caroline Wilson is a Tigers supporter. Johnny Ralph as well.

 

[Sentinel]

Pretty spurious evidence to overturn Lynch’s goal. Hometown decision. Reminiscent of the Brisbane timekeeper last year.

Depending on the angle between the different camera shots, I think they actually were able to make a conclusive call on it given all angles showed the ball over the post.

Relieved we don't have to hear 'The Human Meatball' again this year. Seriously, WTF?

However we don't get away from Taylor's odd fascination with umpires, bouncing the ball and just all round d***ishness and Gil's brother and his This is Your Life style of commentary.

 

[Chicago1]

Hardwick seems a bit perturbed

 

[jdz101]

Thats just his normal face.

He just comes across as a black hole of fun on the field.

I suspect that the last score review might get a few mentions over the coming week.

For mine, It looked to go straight over the post. Correct decision.

There will be a bit of gibbon-screeching about it in the media but it was the right decision, even if they got there in a roundabout way.

The umpires didn't make 4 Richmond guys fail to defend or spoil 1 Joe Daniher in the end.

 

[wian]

Good to see the over achievers back to reality..

 

[Chicago1]

The team that hit 100 points first didn't win tonight. How sad.

 

[wian]

Re : Lynch. (The loss couldn't have happened to a better bloke ) lol

 

[Libbaaaa]

Lynch controversy evens out the awful free paid against Daniher. He made a genuine attempt at the mark and knee’d Tarrant in the shoulder.

That was a shocker, Tarrant literally got a free for fairly losing a run of the mill marking contest.

Imagine if that Bolton missed holding the ball late had resulted in a Tigers goal? And how about Cotchin just blatantly holding the arm of McCarthy for about 30m before one of those last stoppages.

Even that Rich call was harsh.

Shocking umpiring.

 

[Chicago1]

I was just watching the call of the last goal on Triple M's YouTube channel and lo and behold one of my former students from the 70s appears to be one of the callers - Barry Denner. Had no idea that he is a broadcaster. He was a really nice kid 40+ years ago!

 

[Chicago1]

They played the start of the Tigers song when the siren blew

LOL

I was comfortable with the Daniher free. You can’t just take a bloke out of the contest and not touch the ball. It only feels controversial because of the consequence. If it was just Tarrant and Daniher with no-one else around then people would see it as an obvious free I think.

It was a marking contest that Daniher was in, it wasn’t like he run well under it and made an unrealistic attempt.

I don’t know how that can be a free kick.

I've seen similar contests get called play on, a free to the forward and a free to the defender, it's pretty much a raffle.
