Pity Suns lost. Could have got 13th. Pick 6 and bottom 6 fixture next year

Essendon and Pick 6. A winning combination.

If Geelong lose tonight and the swans win does that mean the cats can’t make the finals? (Assuming Dogs beat the eagles tomorrow)

As it stands only the Dogs can move into the 8.

 

[mIKe9441]

Saints may still not make the 8 with 13 wins if they lose next week and Swans, Dogs, Giants win next week. That would be stiff

 

[mike14]

Honestly thought the Cats had another year before they dropped out of the 8. Tonight has surprised me

 

[sameolds33]

Not sure what's worse. To miss the 8 by being humiliated like us today or to miss by losing like the Crows just did, on an umpire's decision.

Definitely worse for Adelaide, I’d be absolutely raging.

Yes, you'd be angry if you were Adelaide. But at least it'd be righteous anger. As the PIL song goes, anger is an energy. Not the case for us.

It’s definitely worse to concede a record score I don’t care what anyone says.

 

[VelvetSledge]

Wow.

 

[citizen-erased]

Wow.

Swans with a close win and a dubious call

Lloyd grabbing the post won them the game.

 

[VelvetSledge]

I’d like to thank the umpire in the Swans / Crom game because he’s made sure that our dismal performance will not be the biggest news story this week.

 

[ant555]

I do not really care. Swans or Crows . Meh.

 

[Mercurial89]

Umpire was wrong but media need to shut up that he should have called for a review.

They hammer the umps for not backing themselves and relying on the goal review. Now they hammer him for an error and not calling for it.
He made an error, just how umps have missed things for decades.


Hopefully this brings about enough pressure for the AFL to not be so amateur about this tech and the process of reviewing scores.

I thought they review everything anyway?

Nope, only goals

 

[Mercurial89]

Only goals because there is time.

But better tech, and actual proper process and you could catch some of this stuff.

But AFL don't have the pressure to be better.

 

[Call Me Cake]

For the next two weeks we go for the Dees.

 

[eth-dog]

Hopefully Geelong, Richmond and Adelaide win next week.
