Have to agree Bird.
The umpiring was woeful.
One incident, two Port players, took each other out, yet they got the Free.
Hmm, anyway, we'll take the win.
Cheers

Well we're about to go live with the Cats and Lions. Will the Cats at home do a precision clinical job on the Lions like the Swans on Port or will the sting of the loss in last year's GF produce a dour arm wrestle and win the day? Stay tuned folks for who fronts Sydney but the Cats should start favourite.

Sportsbet,
Cats, $1.80
Lions, $2.00
Not that I bet, seems there is nothing in it, maybe ground advantage to the Cats.

So we're back to Tony Lockett GF calls with Rampe and grease our palm to fly when here was me thinking the Houston call was all about deterrence not to mention the long term effects of concussion and the plethora of ambulance chasing buzzards nowadays. Forget about clear intent and the elbow up around the head being the most dangerous act in the game folks. The penalty simply depends if the hittee's cheekbone or eye socket is intact or his head doesn't hit the ground and they can pick themselves up after a while and carry on.
https://thewest.com.au/sport/afl/dane-rampe-sydney-swans-veteran-set-to-face-match-review-scrutiny-for-hit-on-zak-butters-c-16126134

You know just like Tom Stewart in the first quarter with eyes and arms up only for the ball with blondie-
https://www.theroar.com.au/afl/video/unreasonable-its-a-prelim-tom-stewart-in-disbelief-after-being-pinged-for-perfectly-legal-bump-1382824/
Tom has form but unlike the crowd is dumbfounded at why there's even a free kick  ???

Fair enough call on Danger as it was enthusiastic but at least he met the opponent with welcome to country open arms and he was low down and underneath the opponent and not dumping him from on high-
https://www.msn.com/en-au/sport/other/dangerfield-avoids-afl-suspension-for-mccluggage-tackle/ar-AA1qZczX?ocid=msedgntp&pc=U531&cvid=4c8fb445fba14856879dd789684df6cb&ei=37

Get the picture of teams full of some very skilled blokes playing scintillating knockout finals footy here folks and that's all you come up with and then you look back and around for some consistency with the sighting and Tribunal and just what it is they're trying to do with the penalties all things considered. Try mens rea and actus reus here chaps if you're struggling with it all  :police:

Well here we have 2 matches for concussion outcome for a sling tackle that you'd be hard pressed to say there was any intention in the outcome-
https://www.msn.com/en-au/sport/football/tigers-midfielder-mckenzie-has-aflw-ban-overturned/ar-AA1r12Ep
Nevertheless that's exactly the concussion outcome the League is red hot to umpire out of the game for the obvious now.

So we deduce Mr Houston copped another 3 for intentional/late/brain fade/bump and end of all finals and season for you boyoh.

Tribunals don't listen to players like Mr Butters as we know full well players are thick as thieves in such situations-
https://au.sports.yahoo.com/zak-butters-in-classy-act-for-dane-rampe-as-swans-star-escapes-afl-grand-final-drama-020518670.html

Neither Rampe nor Stewart should have got off without any match suspension while Dangerfield was sailing close to the wind but rightly given the benefit of the doubt. To see that the Match Review/Tribunal only had to consider how the rest of the players in 4 teams played out their games in the modern era as they play great footy and we want to see them all lead a long healthy life when their time is up. The AFL is all over the shop with that at present.

And then there were 2 soon to become  :cup: and the Footy Gods do like it with a twist. These being the last 2 season's consecutive bridesmaids while the other 16 are clearly a bunch of amateur no-hopers with useless coaches, sports med dudes, shrinks, etc etc with one more about to join them  :'(
Best to be there and there abouts and take the wins you can and one day the Footy Gods might smile on your lot  ;D

Well there is no sin bin or send off in AFL and the bad old days produced the 1991 SANFL bloodbath GF-
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hq-ksH69N5s&t=3s
and it started from the get go in the first quarter-
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N5KGSLBH2rk&t=2s
so much so there were lots of mums on the airwaves pledging their little Johnnys were only playing soccer in future :o

You couldn't blame them-

"The funny thing is, we actually started well for once. I don't think we could have prepped any better, mentally we went into the game great, physically as well… the footy gods had something else to say,"

Yep they're no respecter of finals-
https://www.afl.com.au/news/1233307/we-couldnt-go-with-them-sydney-swans-rue-contest-work-lack-of-pressure
It's a fine line between being 5% on and 5% off at that level and with the 6:6:6 rule you can't flood back to get your balance and they nail you on the scoreboard in a quarter and then they can attack every contest with confidence and get that winning feeling.... :cup:

Load of drivel for clicks and you can see it time and time again when you're not emotionally invested in the outcome-
https://www.msn.com/en-au/sport/afl/not-again-shocking-swans-capitulate-on-the-afl-s-biggest-stage/ar-AA1rmtwk

The money quote-
But it felt like the ball just wasn’t bouncing Sydney’s way, figuratively speaking and then literally.
Yeah it's not a round ball and the footy gods control it.

Sydney players were clearly busting their gut just the same but it's not quite happening and once the opposition feels they're 'on' and attack the ball with confidence the scoreboard can blow out to anything. Sydney can luck out with meeting better sides in those GFs or simply get nailed like Brisbane playing a blinder at the time. Would it feel any better going down by a kick? Ask GWS as they were stiffest in that regard and at least Sydney got there when 16 other teams couldn't make it but there's always next year.

Reading sports groups, boards, the amount of people calling for Longmires head, and some it is brutal.
He's been our most successful coach, hope he doesn't go the way of The Port Adelaide coach or The Broncos coach.
