Review Round 22, 2024 vs Melbourne

[pstew2dstew]

When do we start thinking about changing the brownlow to the Horne-Francis

 

[gbear]

29 disposals by Boak.

 

[PA88]

Never seen a port side make so many dumb decisions in a game. Shoutout to BZT for making about half a dozen of them single handedly.

Typical Hinkleyball really. Absolute unorganised crap on field but individual brilliance of JHF, Boak, Butters and in Q4 Rozee pulled a W out of nowhere.

Never? We've had umpteen years of this close game mishaps and panic football.

This performance keeps big doubt on whether we can win a prelim still.

 

[foxport]

I've got the Horn!

 

[Moo87]

Highlight of the game was Drew giving the umpire a deserved spray.

 

[ibd77]

Terrible game by Jordon Sweet.

Needs to focus on ruckwork and not on using his jumper for hold onto Max Gawn's fist.

Gawn was a protected species tonight. Can't compete against someone who is getting the royal treatment from the maggots.

 

[Gryllis]

What's the official AFL rule about how long play can carry on before they are can't call back and have a second look at a goal review that the umpires haven't called the first time?
Or are we just waiting for it to cost a Victorian team a game before they make a decision about that being something a professional league needs to think about

I'm fairly sure they can't do what they did here, and just made it up. But the AFL will tick it off.

Surely being able to call a review can't be dependent on if a mark is taken relatively soon after.

 

[bomberclifford]

A wins a win I guess.

 

[PJ Power]

That was a shit display of football that instills no confidence in our ability to hold up to finals pressure.

But still, good to beat a team the had the umpires and commentary team on their side.

To win when we really played poorly for most of the night is important.

Our backline held up exceptionally well. Forwards were meh. They defended us really well. Credit to Charlie for kicking two. Ratugolea does a lot right as a forward but his kicking for goal is going to hurt us.

Our mids were beaten comprehensively.

 

[Donuts_]

Played shit mostly but gutsed it out and got the points. Beat Melbourne on the MCG, their whinging umpire's pet Gawn and the umps themselves, so that's a very satisfying 'stick it right up ya' win after a tough watch.

They're building me up to knock me down in September again though.

You think finals is going to have a big step up on what Melbourne brought in this game pressure wise?

 

[True__Believer]

Beat the umpires. Beat the shit Melbourne Lyon-esque game plan. JHF what more needs to be said

 

[Windy Cindy]

Take the 4 points, that’s about it..

Reiwoldt right, ya serve that up and lose by 60 in a final, as we have seen before

 

[chiwigi]

Ok, that’s over.

 

[Windy Cindy]

Gawn 7 frees and sooked like he should have got a half dozen more..

 

[Shane_Mag]

Not a pretty win. Couldn't get the game on our terms as much and by god the umpiring was atrocious. Great to bank those ever important 4 points.

 

[WillemDaDrew]

SO WHO’S PUMPED FOR THE SHOWDOWN NEXT WEEK????

 

[Ford Fairlane]

Terrible game by Jordon Sweet.

Needs to focus on ruckwork and not on using his jumper for hold onto Max Gawn's fist.

It was terrible the number of times he puts his guernsey in Gawn's fist to try and milk frees. Luckily the umpire was awake to that.

 

[rainwizard39]

Such a luxury having all 3 of Rozee, Butters and JHF.

These umpires are so unserious and MCG is so overrated with their seagulls getting in the way in so many games.

29 disposals by Boak.

Turned the clock back, he was very good.

 

[Weez]

Umpires pulled the Melbourne train all night to no avail. Free kicks 24-15. Commentators tried to will them over the line.

Absolute farce, they literally called us for everything.

 

[davesnothere]

Mostly impressed with our ability to target talls in the forward line.

That the tall was mostly Gawn wasn't great.

 

[PJ Power]

IMO, it’s really simple for us come finals. Wines and Drew do their job to make sure we win the contested ball and stop the opposition winning it, and we will be alright. If they don’t, which was the case tonight, we’re in trouble just like we were in last year’s finals. Wines and Drew, this season comes down to you. ****ing do your jobs.

If ever we are gonna flag, this is the year
