LMFAO. Why bother? Sure, some were there. But when you have to slow the tape down to slow motion to prove a point you look like a bit of a *smile*. Plus the margin was 8 goals so even if all that was paid I doubt they would have got close because their football was inferior

Someone is sooking it up big time. If you really wanted to, you could probably pick a game a week to do that to.

It's was an orchestrated win. The afl wanted Richmond to win hence told the umps to give all the frees our way...

Some of them were just laughable. The guy completely lost credibility when he call BT "great"!
 
Couldn't watch it all. But boy what sook.
This Kid really needs to get out more
 
I watched the game with alternate radio (SEN) and it seemed to be out at first but kind of went alright by the end of the quarters.

On the highlights DVD it went quite off on one of the 'rounds' highlights but was OK in the next 'round'.

My daughter is very sick of watching footy... ;D

Oh well... :cupgold

This is not going to get old quickly. I have at least 1 season before I calm down... :hearton
 
I thought we got some soft frees on the day but we still smashed them regardless.

Umpiring was just another thing that went right for us when it counted. Dimma said a few things after the Geelong game when the count was at -74, then we went +15 to the end. Genius or happenstance? Don't know, don't care. Suck it, Crows.

Thanks so much for this information.
I contacted them yesterday upon reading this and already received a reply. Just had to supply proof of purchase and I'll receive a new disc in December when they start sending them out.
Good stuff.

I got this message from them re the Blu Ray sync issue.


====================================

Hello Peter, thanks for getting in touch.

We'd like to apologise for the synchronisation issue relating to the radio commentary on the 2017 AFL Grand Final Blu-Ray. Historically, fans have asked that the AFL Grand Final be available to them at retail as soon as possible following the event. This is possible, but the risk is that the production team can only spot check the radio commentary within this timeframe, and a minor radio commentary synchronisation issue may occur. Beyond appreciates the feedback and will at no charge replace your DVD or Blu-Ray if you are not satisfied with your purchase. If you would like a replacement product please:

1. Email us at [email protected]
2. Tell us your delivery address and contact phone number
3. Attach an image (photo/scan) of your receipt/proof of purchase

In the 2018 season, Beyond will be reviewing the inclusion of radio commentary in next day product to ensure a similar issue does not occur.

I hope this helps!

bloody hell. someone is seriously obsessed. Few points they don't seem to understand, zero understanding of:

1. The nature of finals, and GFs in particular, less tiggy touchwood frees get paid. Most are on the video are tiggy touchwood.

2. Doesn't know the difference between a push in the side and a push in the back. Or that barely-there handballs have hardly been penalised for the last 15 years, and a bunch of other stuff, like says Dusty's fend, a push in the chest, wasn't legal when he didn't have the ball, but ball was well within 5 metres, there are more I won't even bother with.

3. The side that is making the play get the most frees.

4. If I had the time and a tech assistant I could put together a similar package in our favour cancelling out most or all of his whinges.

Finally even IF they got a raw deal off the ump, I don't think they did considering the above points, if the score was close he MIGHT have a legit beef. It wasn't, it was a good old fashioned flogging.

Excellent video. Clearly demonstrates all the plays and the only plays in the game that could be scrutinised in this manner. The Crows have a legitimate case to lodge an appeal to replay the Grand Final.

That will give the RFC another $5M in merch and us another smashing to enjoy watching over and over again!! :cupgold

When compared to their kid glove favoured treatment when they play at home, Adelaide get get a raw deal. But when you compare to the treatment of Vic clubs interstate, Adelaide were treated different.

Overall to the winner go the spoils. We got a couple of 50/50 out way which I attribute to the bright yellow Premiership (I love that word) jumper and the fact we were constantly attacking the ball.

Clearly some crows supporters have been psychologically scarred by the events of September 30th!!
That YouTube video is a cry for help.
 
Butt Hurt much .

I could go through the game and highlight just as many “frees” Richmond didn’t get too.
