The pre-excuses from Port fans all week were laughable. Just a weak attitude going into a prelim final, and their side followed suit as it's exactly how they played tonight.

It actually showed all the garbage that WB play a disciplined game and first to the ball means they get looked after. The WB gifted the Brisbane final no arguments no idea why the umpires rode them home. The Port game showed they infringe as much as any team it’s just not pulled up.

Keep in mind, we were playing the team that received the most free kicks in the home and away season.

Port have won the FK count the last five times we’ve played them, so they must get particularly looked afterShouldnt matter apparently the WB play an incredibly disciplined game style apparently.

LOL.
Dogs were on the brink of bankruptcy in 2016. Now a thriving concern in the city's west that require no AFL attention, and less AFL money.
I don't think the AFL umpired them to a flag for that reason, but this post is silly.

Where did you get that idea from?

Let's see this evidence that we were on the brink of bankruptcy please?

Carrying debt is not equal to 'brink of bankruptcy'. To 2015 we'd posted modest year on year profits, absolutely still carrying a lot of debt and by no means in a strong position, but not about to collapse.
So you don’t have any evidence for your claim about being close to bankruptcy.
A person with a shred of integrity would retract it.

First time in a decade the Bulldogs have won a final and not ‘won’ the free kick count.

Dees fan getting in early and trying to preempt a loss with umpiring deflections two weeks out from a historic grand final?
Weird.

Cause that worked so well for Port people on here. You’d think you’d have some confidence in your team, finishing top of the ladder and making the grand final at a canter.
I guess you can post anything you like on an anonymous internet forum, you might even believe it is true.
Trouble is you are incorrect and making these statements does not give you any credibility.
They are neervvous

We'll be very disciplined in the GF. Umpiring won't come into it.

See that's the problem so many of you nuffs have, you think it's something to 'win' like a mini contest
And if you do happen to 'win' it, you can't possibly have done it legitimately by infringing less than the opposition, there must be another explanation.See that's the problem so many of you nuffs have, you think it's something to 'win' like a mini contest
Oh, this thread is still going. Brilliant.

A person with their priorities straight wouldn't give a **** what some rando on a footy forum said about a sporting company's finances.
There you go Port get the most frees in the comp and have been ahead on the differential every time against us, but we still win comfortably.
We have suggested things like game style as part of the logic behind frees and the final against Port is on trend to support that.
In the Brisbane game we conceded 19 frees and against Port we conceded 22. The difference in that is really attributable to Stef Martin conceding 5 by himself.
This also supports the view that it is frees conceded more than frees received that account for our overall differential.
