Early Openers- Prelim Finals

I'm still conflicted. Blues only ones who can beat the Pies next week. Not sure what is better, a non Pies Blues Final, or seeing the Pies supporters inconsolable again.
I think seeing Fly and Leppa win it tips it in favour of hoping the Lions win tomorrow.
1 *smile* point and as expected with the scumbag flogs fingerprints all over it.
Lions ultimatum now.

agree. The governing body is responsible. Its incompetent. And nobody is allowed to criticise and says its a hard game to umpire. As for that last Q, how about just umpire, pay a free maybe?

I hate Carlton more than Collingwood. I think the Lions can beat Scumwood; they are not that good. You could make a fair argument that neither Carlton or Collingwood should have won any of their finals thus far. Their opponents in both games have butchered so many opportunities. Neither team has been convincing. Unlike us in 2017 and 2019 where we were dominant.
I could care less about Fly and Leppa. They are with one of our mortal enemies. I wish them zero success.
Only if you're bored, and I don't recommend it, but just saying have a read of the comments on any tweet the AFL have put out about tonight's result.
It's overwhelming the reaction to the standard of umpiring and a fabricated result.
I know that's not the reality, but the perception of this comp by the greater footy community is really poor. Nice work Gil
4 umps on the ground apparently, 4. Couple of coathangers too, Daicos on Greene and another I forget, where I just thought seriously? How can anyone not pay that let alone 4 umps?
I reckon the AFL are rubbing our noses in it.
The way they treat Collingwood is over the top, no way they want the giants in the GF instead of the pies……and then on the AFL website they have a picture of Maynard celebrating the win, he shouldn’t even have been playing ffs.

The Pies took the Giants to the cleaners in terms of clearances. It is where they won the game. It was pretty even otherwise.
Is there any other elite sporting competition in the world that gets adjudicated depending on the circumstances of the match - i.e. late and close = whistle put away?
I couldn't name you any other.

Say the Lions get up tomorrow (highly likely) ... at least they can put the media-driven 'noise' theory in the f*****g bin - GWS had f*** all supporters there tonight and only just missed.
I've said this many times. It is more likely to happen with four umpires than two. Read about the Bystander Effect regarding human reactions to a crisis.
Two is company, three or more is a crowd.
It's now time for the Lions to wake the *smile* up and win. This is their best team in years and with the Fitzroy crowd behind them next week, they have to win.
