AFL probably feel their team needs an extra player out there
Someone maybe can confirm this.
Were not these same 3 that umpired that over officiated game/final between (guess who) GWS vs Lions. ?
The 54 game free kick one?
At the end of the day ALL we want is pay the free kicks that are there, be vigilant with the holds (at the start of the game) to set the tone of Dusty, Cotchin , Prestia , Edwards, Jack, Lynch and dont pay the stupid tiggy touchwood ones.
But we will be up against 25 players now , say thats say 3 goals to GWS minus us playing at the G, 4 goals with our crowd = a close game between 5-11 pts.!
Lions may have had more free kicks that game BUT its the ones where they got paid for GWS that hurt the Lions in the end.
54
I think he’s talking about another one. 10 minutes left in the 3rd Miers takes another dive and Bolton ran off with it. Ray stood right in front of him Trying to stop him but he still kicked it in to our forward line. Probably should’ve been fifty that one. Maybe someone had a word to him half time about the Danger one.
What direction will the AFL give to the maggots this Saturday? Probably none. But what outcome would the AFL rather have -
a) GWS winning a flag and its minuscule NSW fan base not caring much; or
b) Richmond winning a flag and its pre-eminent, enormous fan base spending millions of cold hard aussie dollars on AFL licensed merchandise in the weeks that follow?
Sorry but that is a cop out.
When it suits them every single AFL wastes time with a theatrical who do I throw this to routine, which includes at least three confirmations with the umpire before they throw the ball as slowly as possible.
They can't have it both ways.
