Finals Week 1: The acid reflux games.

At ground I thought the free Cripps got where he kicked a goal in the third was very lucky. Swan slippedthe tackle and got a scrappy hand ball away?tv viewers have a better angle?

Did get a handball just. The thing was that they were reluctant to pay holding the ball all night.

I've no voice left, and a mammoth hangover.

The short of it is I think we got out of jail. Should've won by more, should've buried them - and nearly made to pay.

On the other hand, the Swans were never going down without a serious fight so to win's certainly a hell of a lot better than losing.

It's interesting that I didn't find last night as satisfying as 2013 was, likely because last night wasn't against an arch-rival, we led all night, we actually earned our way into the finals and the expectation to win was there.

But geez, I've missed finals footy!!

100% goal umpire called that touched due to the players reaction. No way known he saw that hit the hand
It’s interesting. I was at a function where razor Ray was guest speaker. Unfortunately he comes across as a very decent guy. Does some good stuff in the community. Anyway he was asked why no umpires in the ade swans game called for a review. He basically said the umps never take player reactions into account when making decisions because they cannot be trusted. Clearly not the case here.

Usually you have a side that comes out and puts a steak n the ground in 1st week and shows who's boss
None of the 4 teams I've watched showed they are capable of playing consistently high level for 4 quarters let alone through 1 month.
This is going to the Humpty Dumpty premiership. Who ever wins it will fall over the line.
Very underwhelming start to September

How ironic Longmire and co. complaining about goal-review technology when they were actually only in the finals because of its incompetence.

Call it karma.

A good win BB. What's wrong with Cripps ribs? Looked like he had a mattress protecting them.
 
Membrey withdrawn for the Saints for personal reasons.

Um something there. Don’t want to speculate and say what I’m thinking.

Today was the passing of Danny Frawley.

And R.U.Ok day.

To be fair, he said, "You'd like to think [the technology can get better]. We've been on both sides of the fence, haven't we?"
