Round 4 Fremantle V Richmond; 13.03.08 Subiaco Oval 14:30wst

[beautime]

the first grand final for the year has been played for fremantle

We wont see their good football for a while

 

[Bradesmaen]

Onya Umps

Do they still teach them how to bounce a centre bounce at Umpire Academy?

 

[Cuzz09]

Fremantle will still win this.

By 3 goals I say.

 

[estibador]

Getting smashed and 2nd to the ball = less free kicks.

Not usually a ratio of 3 to 1 though.

Not worried about the ones the Tiges are getting. Just that Freo aren't getting the same frees in return. Seems like Freo players don't have heads or backs today.

 

[Altum Volantes]

No way Freo will drop this one, Richmond's inaccuracy will be their down fall.

 

[PHX]

No but your mob has dissapointed me before i recall you guys playing like this me slagging off dorkers mates in a pub and having to shout them when they won. So kick straight and smash em it'll make my Monday a hell of a lot better.

Haha that would hurt. But yes, a lot of let downs happen with the Tiges.

But I'm trying to not think about that side of the coin!

 

[Cuzz09]

No way Freo will drop this one, Richmond's inaccuracy will be their down fall.

Agree.

 

[Tiger bait]

Umpires haven't been very kind to Freo.

Frees 14 to 5.

why do people think that free kicks always have to be even, obviously we are getting first to the pill and earning them!

 

[estibador]

Getting smashed and 2nd to the ball = less free kicks.

Btw last year when Richmond played us at Subi the free kick count was 25 to 14 in their favour - even though we won the game.

Seems the umps like the idea of fairytale upset wins.

 

[Bradesmaen]

why do people think that free kicks always have to be even, obviously we are getting first to the pill and earning them!

Because that is usually what happens, atleast be close.. but to be 9 different at HT and only 5 in total is pretty crap, considering my dad (an Adelaide fan) has been yelling more than me about how crap the umpiring has been.

 

[Philhawk]

Score?

 

[CaptainDavey]

Has Bowden been missed by the Tigers during the game?

 

[estibador]

Yeah but we aren't getting the ones we earn when we are first to the ball.

Perfect example was that scramble in our forward pocket involving Dessie and a couple of Tigers. There were a couple of high contact and in the back frees that could have been paid to Freo but the ump puts the whistle away.

But then as soon as a Freo player touched a Tiger the whistle blew for in the back and the Tigers cleared.

Either put the whistle away for both teams or blow it for both teams.

Perhaps your guys are just filthy cheating dogs.


Could be.

 

[CoastersFlag No.5]

All the top 5 contested possession winners are form Richmond did the umpire do that too?

 

[Tiger bait]

Has Bowden been missed by the Tigers during the game?

i think he still would of been a valuable contributor say playing on fremantle's third tall instead of mcguane.

Interested to see how he went at coburg

 

[CoastersFlag No.5]

Fremantle 3.3 6.7 43
Richmond 5.7 10.11 71

 

[DemonDoob]

Is Solomon injured?

 

[stmookeyj]

WTF, Solomon's back on!?

 

[CoastersFlag No.5]

Solomon is concussed. 22 less contested possessions for Freo.

 

[stmookeyj]

Is Solomon injured?

He was carted off on a stretcher seemingly concussed in the 1st quarter, yet he's on the forward line to start the 3rd.

 

[DemonDoob]

excellent. There is still some hope for my dream team yet!!

 

[Arecsa]

Horrible disposal from Fremantle, missing multiple handballs and kicks, now Brown has marked it 50 out and will have a shot, and he goals it. 77-43.

 

[stmookeyj]

2nd goal to Brown.

FREO 6.7.43
RICH 11.11.77

 

[CoastersFlag No.5]

This will be a pretty bad choke for Richmond to lose this.
