What's worse than 'diving' to get a free kick?

Would have come under real scrutiny if they had have goaled from it.

Not a good look for a 380 odd gamer to resort to that in the hope of a positive result.
The whole umpiring in that game should be put under scrutiny, you were being handed a win and couldn't get the job done. Sinclair holding Goldstein at every ruck contest and wasn't pinged once. Natanui got his usual cheap frees everytime anyone touched him. Pathetic job by Razor an the other incompetent dimwits.

Eagles choked big time, playing the last with a gale behind them a 3 blind mice in their pocket ;)

Man the same shit happens every week. It's no difference to players claiming they touched it off the boot or claiming it came off the boot when it it almost goes out of bounds.
 
I look forward to the tears coming out of North Melbourne in September after another year of failure.
I look forward to one day seeing a freo flag. Unfortunatley I don't think I will live long enough.
 
That had to be the luckiest game of all time

It seemed EVERY little bounce and possession went North's way

I'm not one to usually believe in the supernatural... But this game has got me believing.

You kicked half of your goals from 75 metres out.
 
A few years ago in a final against Sydney at Subiaco, one of our players stepped off his line to allow a Sydney to run into him and then appealed for and won a 50.

It's hardly anything to get too upset about.

Stenglein wasn't it?
 
I don't remember which team but I remember a few years ago a free kick was called and the umpire turned around to see the ball coming back very badly to the player who won the free and the umpire immediately called a 50 metre penalty not realising that it was in fact a team mate that threw the ball back badly and not an opposition player.

No where near as bad as Harvey though as what Harvey did was deliberate.

North magically won possessions and amazingly half their ****ing team is open and getting uncontested possession after uncontested possession

How about this,

North kicks the ball, get caught up in the wind and goes up about 30m in the air....

North marks it uncontested.

No joke.

Some supernatural shit on North's side tonight.
 
Knocking the ball out of someones hands deliberately then jumping up and down/pleading for a 50m penalty acting like the opposition deliberately did it is blatant cheating in my view.

Slight exaggeration of events there, it shouldn't have been given but had Priddis handed the ball when he should have never would have happened.

Get the Coaster fans reactions but some of the neutral fans carrying on like he staged an assassination is mind boggling.

If a something got me worked up as much as people get worked up over Thomas/Harvey/Brad Scott, I would honestly give the game away.
 
Well they are not going to win the premiership this year and with such an old list they are going to have to start rebuilding soon.
Agreed, its quite concerning the way they have topped up with old washed up players, they'll have to find a way winning without cheating if they want to make the most of them.
 
Not Harvey's fault. Blame the stupid umpire. People are acting like he's the first guy to ever appeal for a questionable free.

But these tears are delicious, so do continue.
