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

Melbourne will easily win next week, you saw tonight that Carlton shit the bed when swans ramped up some pressure and Melbourne is able to do that 10 fold. No straight sets this year, top 4 will make it through

 

[Snarls Barkley]

Their biggest mental hurdle was winning a final, I can see them challenging Melbourne and winning. Would be funny as * if they did.

Definitely could be the case. A big difference will also be that everyone was expecting them to win tonight, anything further is just a bonus so maybe some shackles get lifted there too.

Its their third win in the last four weeks by a goal or less but they never look in control of it. Always look panicky and hoping for the siren.

I know both games have been close, but that doesn’t always mean it’s been great footy.

Skill wise, both games have been crap. As annoying as it is to be a neutral this season, hope for better for the prelims & GF.

Think Carlton did get the better of it but I can live with reading six months of Sydney melts

Sydney are in no position to whinge about umpiring after being gifted a finals spot.

 

[Dogs Rule]

I love a Swans loss and even more when they whinge about umpiring because you just know it'll burn deep for years and the butt.hurt will go on and on and on and on...

Just a shame one of Melbourne and Carlton have to go through.

Particularly ironic this year, as they were only in the finals due to an umpiring error.

Collingwood and Carlton were very underwhelming winners.

I can't remember another season where there was even 2 underwhelming winners in finals.

conspiracy

You now slide to the next stage of the conspiracy - where the number of frees suddenly becomes irrelevant, and it’s all about where the frees were paid, plus the ones that weren’t paid

Sadly, I think you’re right. There’s a big drop in class after the top four.

Carltank got them when they needed them

Cripps a huge protected species

Cripps is not a lonely soldier on that front .......Curnow If Naughts could get the same ride he does he would bolt in the Coleman

True. Don't think Curnow had a big impact last night though

Didn’t get too see the match last night was just speaking in general terms

 

[CarnTheScray]

He always has an impact. If he isn’t marking it he is doing the next best thing and tapping it to the best spot for Carltons smalls. Like I’ve said before their forward line is useless without him.

And McKay is a liability. Missed two shots from distances that even Naughton would kick 100% of the time.

 

[dergert]

Can you imagine if it was Bevo who moped after each loss and blamed the umpires. Longmire gets away with being a sook by the boys club.

 

[Dogs_R_Us]

Did anyone mention that near-stuff-up by Carlton in the goal square? Third q I think. Handballing when you're 2 metres out from the goal line??

Yes. Would have been all over the papers if Carlton lost last night. That and the McKay misses.

No experience playing finals, you can’t afford to do things like that in the first half, because the other team is always going to come back and punish you and Sydney very nearly did.

 

[Mr. Walker]

It’s just so depressing to see the efforts of some of the teams in the finals and realise we managed to play badly enough not to make it. Nobody’s fault but ours.A truly poor effort.

Hear hear, so poor we couldn't even manage to fall into the eight.

 

[W W Biscuit]

St Kilda ain't winning this. How are they even there?

 

[Iamspock]

Sydney look like a team that shouldn’t be there, and they shouldn’t.

It was the umpire's fault.

 

[Iamspock]

The good news is that we’ll have six months of Sydney ump whinging

I don't think it has actually stopped since 2016.

 

[ossie_21]

Saints are putrid.

Seeing this shit is unreal about how much we pissed away a whole season.
