Post Match. Pies v. Giants. All comments, please.

Unless we rectify our inaccuracy, we will continue keeping the opposition in the game and therefore having to use up maximum energy every week just to win.
This prevents players from conserving energy in the marathon 22 games.
All other aspects of the game are working well but this is a big problem long term and unless it improves, we struggle to be a serious contender.

I just want a game where we win without the massive end game heart attacks! Is that asking too much?

Feels like I say this every week.

I thought today was going to be the day.

The umpiring was a disgrace.

They deserved to be booed off the ground.

[Mr Miyagi]

We won. Be happy. We’re in the 8 when we were pegged bottom 4. Old players look rejuvenated in new roles and there’s a hunger and positivity in the team that we haven’t seen in a few years. The only way is up so enjoy the ride. Go pies!

Disappointing last quarter. The umpires were simply cheats. How do they get away with it? Last night we see a Richmond player cleaned up without so much as a free kick. Today we saw a 100 metre penalty paid against us because the umpire got disobeyed. Frankly I'm sick to death of the AFL. Pure amateur hour. Why don't they take a leaf from a true professional football league - the NFL.

BTW Brian Taylor is a low life scum. There he was in the heat of the last quarter trying to dig up more dirt on Quaynor and Ginnivan. Time somebody stopped that fat bastard in his own tracks!

This, 100%.

I'm wondering if Murphy got injured on a couple of occasions.
Hope he's alright.

[Mr Miyagi]

And yeah, holding your arms out and just giving the ump an “are you kidding?” bemused look is considered abuse and worthy of a 50m penalty. What a joke

[Return of the baldfacts]

Blew a chance to build %.

Gross. The only sport that ‘rewards’ a miss with a score.

We technically lost if it’s about scoring goals through the big sticks.

Never change, Pies.

IF we win a flag by a point, you will take that, of course.

[Haff]

Sigh. Umpires don’t cheat. They get them wrong for sure. No umpire has ever thought, “hey let’s get the other team back into it purely with one sided calls”.
100 m penalty was correct. Deliberate for mine was correct on the replay but you don’t always see them called.
I talk some crap in the game thread due to my views on when I get positive, but this one is for calm reflection. Surely no one actually thinks the umpires cheat?

I’m a bit worried about Pendles, looks like he aged 10 years in a week. Reckon he’s stepping back for the new brigade to take over, and stepping up when needed though

Wrong! You score if you get the ball between the behind posts. You are rewarded if you can kick it though the two goal posts. The sports doesn't reward a miss. It rewards those who can kick it through the goal posts.

We technically won as the score is a combined score of goals and behinds.
