2020 finals–week one: the other games

[zippadeee]

Special mention to ArChee, had 2 chances in the last qtr, both were atrocious attempts

Compare how long Collingwood players can hold the ball compared to us.
Thomas got tackled twice and it was still called play on.
Milockeck gets tackled falls to the ground, ball up.

Last night Vlastuin got penalised for holding the ball. Robinson didn’t even lay an effective tackle. He tried to grab Vlastuin but he bounced off him and the ball spilled loose. That is play on.

There is absolutely no doubt that we are umpired to a different standard and at a vast disadvantage. You just have to look at how all 7 other teams were umpired this week to realise that.

We get *smile* over every week.

everything ah chee touched turned to poo. Feel a bit sorry for him

Took so long to actually kick the pill; only needed a behind for the draw. Could have goaled if he didn't want to run 15m! Such an error.

The eagles midfield doesn’t work hard enough

I reckon that succincts it. They go hell for leather in spurts then just not enough in big moments. Good side, not a great side.

 

[Mantikorr]

That would have to be the closest week 1 of finals ever wouldn't it? There's usually at least one flogging somewhere

 

[Ridley]

Ryder out is massive for us. He absolutely dominated today and could see him doing the same next week.

Our task next week is somewhat easier with his misfortune.

Richo gave Mihochek the MVP. 10 DISPOSALS

If Chol had done what Mihocek did, we'd already be in the PF.

Wtf is going on this weekend? Did any “favourite” get over the line?

Treloar pushes the ball out of Gaffs hands NO 50.
Adams runs away from pack after the whistle has gone, the umpire is waving to him to stop.
Its not his job to tell him to stop,
Pay a 50. Like he wouldve paid against us.
The Collingwood players at least 3 times walked over the boundary, for the umpire to call for a throw in.
We get shoved across the boundary and we get pinged.

And yet Cameron wasn’t pinged for exactly the same thing. That was play on, nothing to see here. Until the umpires are made to publicly explain conflicting incidents like this, it will never improve.

Whoever wins out of Cats or Pies makes the Granny. Bears are ripe for the picking. They played their GF and Fagan couldn't believe they actually won last night.

Shorter quarters help but feels like these games were maybe close regardless.

Carlise has a baby due as well. He may be stupid enough to attend that.

We are due some Karma

The qtrs are tooo short.
Teams take 4-5 minutes to settle.
16 minutes is ridiculous

St Kilda are hoping he is!

What a *smile* weekend of footy finals. We lose and the Scum win. Doesn't get much worse than that. The 2018 PF was worse but this is not far behind. I'm *smile* pissed off.

At least we are still alive.

Still can't believe that game. Who would have believed that Cox would take 3+ contested marks and kick 3 goals. That Mihocek and DeGoey kick freak goals when the game is on the line at the death.
The WAs must be so happy with the media that ran the 'Dirty Pies" front page article. (Bet it was Murdoch owned) Gave them such motivation for a result they arrogantly believed impossible.
But umps really did their part.

The best thing about it is that the Eagles players lost yet still have to serve 2 weeks in quarantine

McGowan has really *smile* them over.

Yes, saw that; even the poor emergencies who didn't get to play!
