Non-Lions discussion 2023

[M Malice]

I think I am against the prevailing opinion but I thought the umpiring was quite good, they let a lot go, felt like the same for both teams though.

If it's a choice I would prefer they let stuff go rather than play tiggy touch wood free kicks.

 

[Warwick]

Remember when North, Eagles, Hawks, and Giants were considered 4 easy kills this year?

 

[martinson]

Putting the whistle away when Collingwood are giving away free after free is tough.

Respect to Giants great season.

Gotta be honest the Pies have been mostly ordinary the last few weeks but somehow they got it done and they're in.

Giants probably just lacked that bit of composure that would've given them another goal or two.

Looks like Dan's done which is rotten luck for him.

Interviewing De Goey whilst they show vision of Maynard

 

[Pns_blister]

McStay looks like he knows he won’t be there next week.

All G. I'm sure our boys will let him hold their premiership medallions.

 

[luthor]

Clear Giants free in that marking contest then Green legged immediately after.

Giants players had no heads and no legs in that last quarter.

At least three blatant frees ignored by the Umps "cos they put the whistle away"

I fear for the umpiring in our game.

The romanticism of a Coll v Carl GF might be a liitle hard for them to resist.

 

[Gadzorks]

Gotta get it done tomorrow. If it's a Collingwood vs Pies final I'm not leaving the house or listening to any media for a week.

Ummm..... arrrrr
... well....

 

[Ceebee]

I feel for the the Giants, they played so well....hope the Pies have exhausted themselves playing at that pace.

..Darcy Moore is looking more and more like he should be playing AFLW

He looks like he belongs in a horror movie .

The umpiring was fine.

They missed a couple of sodas in the last but the Giants got the ball straight after and had their chances.

 

[BrainOfMorbius]

I hope McStay is ok. If the Pies win the flag, the one positive would be seeing McStay getting a premiership medal

 

[SizeMatters]

All G. I'm sure our boys will let him hold their premiership medallions.

I don't give two ****s about McSpud. He was a bog average footballer and a turncoat. Hope he never wins a Premiership.

 

[pulpdriver]

They can’t play themselves . I think you mean Carlton

Ummm..... arrrrr
... well....

The thought is so offensive I couldn't even get it out cleanly.

 

[LionsMaw]

Giants losing by 2 pts The wrong team end up winning

 

[Gadzorks]

Tough and emotional game. One point win is epic - hopefully they start high as a kite for a few days then crash big time next week.

Mcstay was good but that ankle won't be full strength by next week.

 

[Tom14]

The umpiring was fine.

The umpiring stunk. Hurt GWS slightly more in the last because they were chasing but both teams weren’t called for obvious frees throughout the game.

 

[luthor]

WTF?

I suppose you are going to be delighted for Vossy if Carlton knock us off tomorrow night?

 

[BrainOfMorbius]

What are you talking about? I said THE ONE POSITIVE.

 

[Lace Out]

If it is to be..much rather beat Pies

 

[Tom14]

What are you talking about? I said THE ONE POSITIVE.

'Jordy' De Goey getting a premiership medal would completely outweigh it for me. But I don't wish Dan any ill-will and it sucks he looks like he'll miss the grand final.

I think I am against the prevailing opinion but I thought the umpiring was quite good, they let a lot go, felt like the same for both teams though.

I thought the umpiring was poor but for the same reason - they let a lot go. I don't think it really favoured one team over the other after the first quarter.

If it's a choice I would prefer they let stuff go rather than play tiggy touch wood free kicks.

I'd rather they pull everything up since I have no doubt that'd lead to a lot more open and free-flowing game once players adjust, but I've given up expecting anyone in the AFL or umpiring association to have the balls to do that.

 

[luthor]

They're our bunnies.

Get past Carlton tomorrow night and I'll be extremely confident

Genius of the Pies to realise umps won't blow the whistle in the last 90 seconds so they can bend the rules as they wish. Reckon they did it in another close game earlier this year as well.

 

[Big Sauce 21]

Incredibly disappointing from the giants having Keefe ruck the end. He was gassed and didnt offer a thing.

infact, the entire team was. Who would have thought with a 6 day break. You can't make this shit up. Move the game forward for Carlton tomorrow but make the Giants play in Adelaide at 7.50 when they knew they couldn't fly home that night. How can we contend with this bias.

 

[martinson]

The umpiring stunk. Hurt GWS slightly more in the last because they were chasing but both teams weren’t called for obvious frees throughout the game.

I didn't care who won the game and thought they were ok tonight.

They missed a few which you'd expect in a game like that.

I don't think it was deliberate. Collingwood had De Goey stuck on their bench at the end too - the play never got over that side of the field, and being a man down while your player runs away from the contest to interchange is too great a disadvantage.
