AFL Autopsy Round 4 vs Sydney and City Hall

[SydneyBomber]

I'm not sure there's a more succinct way to put it - once again, Sydney only won because the umpiring was unfairly biased in their favour.

How the fu** is this league still alive?

And THAT is why I refuse to go to dons games at.the scg anymore. Absolutely ****ing corrupt.
Would be great to play that scum in Melbourne a bit more often too...

Great effort from our boys though, Truck doing well.

Piss pooor umpiring really let us down. Really frustrating.
Anyway positives were that we didnt have our lead dragged in and then lose comprehensively. We kept up with them all game and it could have gone either way.


Perkins showing a bit. Cox showing a lot. Could play anywhere on the ground. Great endurance for a young player.

Ham and Snelling look to also have taken the next step. They dont appear to fade in and out as much.

McGrath down on his usual output, just an outlier.

 

[Mercurial89]

Three goals, one a joe the goose. Hardly the stuff of terror.

Appealed for frees all night like a flog and overall had minimal impact on the game.

Let the 7 sycophants rub themselves raw.

I would like a little bit of kudos for Francis is all instead of the rinse repeat headline the media turn to, it's so lazy.
I thought he played a really good game and that is now two in a row at least.

Now it may have been a bit closer than it should have been due to their inaccuracy but if we have a ruckman and they kick straighter Its probably a similar result.

Tender meets Girl looks fine aswell

 

[citizen-erased]

Eh. Umps in Sydney will do what they do.
Swans can't beat us without them.

Looking at the positives.
We held our nerve and didn't get blown away.

Poor call by truck late having cox rucking, Hickey had his way despite probably hatching three non htb calls

Apparently deliberate oof is only a rule for us too

The way Wright was rucking - we weren't going to do worse than him being in there.

It was more fo rour mids to stop the rot when the ball hit the deck.

 

[rumply]

Yeah imagine Draper still in this side, we halve the clearances & win comfortably, maybe

 

[Sanj48]

I'm sick of us turning up every year, having a red hot crack and being completely worked over by the umpires.

Blokes like Hooker and Heppell must be sick of the standard story that never changes.

 

[Beerfish]

And Waterman reminds me of our own Tory Dickson

Seemed like Tory always saved his best games for us so I guess I can get around this. Wifey always called him my boyfriend because I would always be wailing his name when you guys played us

 

[Jade]

Hopefully the media get up the umpires after that rort

But they wont. They love Buddy and the cinderella swans too much.

Result aside, plenty of exciting things to see. Cox was unbelievable, Perkins showed glimpses and Waterman and Jones worked hard. Plenty to get excited about

The umpires should be fired immediately, and Buddy is a ********er not fit to hold Lloyd's boots.

That shitful leech club should be removed from existence - pieces of shit have never earned anything off their own efforts.

 

[Donakebab]

I'm still angry.

It's not HTB when you take the ball out of the ruck, correct call.

Did you read the post ****wit?

Yep. He is very solid.

 

[Blind Turn]

I’m not nearly as devastated as I was with round 1 and round 2. This was a great effort in never letting the game get away from us. 35 tackles in the last qtr!!

 

[coastalpipeline]

The prior opportunity used to be the tap out, if you were tackled taking the ball out of the ruck you were gone. The rule isn’t you can take half a dozen steps and then get tackled, its if you take the ball out of the ruck and are immediately tackled you have had no prior opportunity

Umps can't tell between a few steps and 10 metre kicks.
Wtf do they do @ ump school?

It's not HTB when you take the ball out of the ruck, correct call.

it is when you get it run 5 metres and get tackled

Jonathon Brown gave Francis points for the match-up. Everyone else is too busy with the circle jerk..

problem is the umpires only care about fitness nowadays

It is if you take a number of steps and are then tackled.

Hitting them where it hurts

 

[bombreys]

Plenty of positives.

If we won the free kick count 29-15, we would have wone by 4 or 5 goals.

Also why is that Francis spoil being called deliberate not all over the news/social media? Have I missed something? That looked to be one of the worst call I’ve ever seen

 

[Doss]

It's not HTB when you take the ball out of the ruck, correct call.

When you take a step (or several) after taking possession, it is. Keep walking.

 

[srobbo]

Just gagf with the non ump decisions.

Death, taxes & Dons losing in Sydney under a kick.

 

[Howard Moon]

It's not HTB when you take the ball out of the ruck, correct call.

He grabbed it and took 4-5 steps, isn't that an evade of a tackle?

 

[coastalpipeline]

Poor old Guelfi, he tried hard but Sheesh umps hated on him badly
