2020 finals–week one: the other games

Naughton is ready to play water polo with that helmet

 

[Mr Brightside]

Much better watching Footy not having to hear Razor or Bruce going over the top

 

[achillesjones]

I think we match up better to the dogs. (Rucks)

Saints look fast and sharp.

Also would rather lose to the dogs than the Saints if we have another mare next week.

 

[MD Jazz]

Daniel an AA defender my arse. Gets praise for playing on no one and being a nice kick. Made accountable and exposed as a midget with no defence. Joke.

Channel 7. Sorry to bother you but a game of finals football seems to have interrupted your advertising stream.

 

[MD Jazz]

I'd much prefer to face the Dogs next.

Same, dogs defence is poor. Forward line is ooor too. Saints have more upside.

 

[artball]

Umpires a bit less visible than the first 2 finals , could be the nature of the game ?

Yeah rucks make a big difference. If they're going with Dunkley as second ruck we can use a Caddy or Broad.

How the hell was that a free?

And where was the 50m penalty after the Saints player kicked it away after the free was paid earlier?

 

[tigerlove]

And Bulldogs were given a free and Saints player kicked it away, no 50. We were pinged twice.

Touche just saw your post

 

[Tony Braxton-Hicks]

Just tuned in. Who was the injured Dog? What was the injury?

Right! Every single time we get punished for these technical things

 

[ToraToraTora]

This is a fantastically entertaining game. Stk has the harder edge.

 

[mexican_radio]

Cordy, some sort of ankle/foot issue.

They have crutches busted out now, doesn’t look good

 

[MD Jazz]

Geary destroying Daniels. AA defender being exposed.

It’s quite apparent watching this that there is no consistency in umpiring. Richmond given 0.5 sec to dispose b4 being called for HTB, similar situation in this game, play on. Wallis gets a free for marking interference that if Jack was judged the same, would have 6 frees every game. 50 mtr penalties judged totally differently.

Nah it’s just the AFL getting Brissy into the finals.

And this is why some of our players and our coach get frustrated. Not all players, some prob dont even watch the other games. But we are umpired differently on occasion. And the frustration can build.
