This is rigged, if a team can get up & win it from 7th, what's the point in finishing top 4 then, there's absolutely no advantage!

I'd love to see Collingwood get 12 free kicks to 4 in a half of football won by the other team. Hands up all those who think that will ever happen?

Dogs had a lot go right that half, things seemed to fall their way in general play but still 2 points down.
Buddy injured early, playing on 1 leg.
Also, 12 free kicks to them 4 to the Swans for the half.
Any 50/50 call went their way. Grundy mark not paid early in 2nd quarter, led to a goal. Mark paid to Johannisen, when Hanneberry was in front.
Free kick against Jack for high, could easily argue should have been below the knees, then a 50 was paid. Goal from the resulting inside 50.
Obviously evenly poised, but think the Swans have the potential for things to run their way in the 2nd half.

Almost every other stat for the game is 50/50.

Free kicks are 12 - 4.

Playing favourites much?

I like the way the umps have let the play keep going.
No soft frees except for that last one

Unsure what game you are watching. 16 disposals, 14 in the 2nd quarter. 2 goals. 5 tackles.

Nothing's rigged mate.
If the Bulldogs win 4 finals in a row then they'll deserve it. If you beat WC in Perth, Haw, GWS in Sydney &. then win again in the GF ...what more is needed.
Plus forget the finishing 7th, they won 15 games, that's only 2 less than Sydney. Not a massive difference after 22 matches.
I reckon Sydney are better.... but not a helluva lot better!

I'd respectfully invite you to review what he did with the first dozen - he was very much the weak link in Sydney's chain and cost goal after goal with poor disposal and bad tackling. His last goal was very good.

If that week off after the H&A season didn't favour the Bullflogs, then I'm a monkeys uncle!

We have non AFL listed players running in the GF sprint this year.

And wholy gee wizz, one of them has won it.

Better make a new forum Nicks Other Non-AFL Football so we can discuss it.

Yes that was weird.

I popped all the blue ones.

If you go around the corner, there are some kids eating ice creams in the park. They are sitting ducks if you'd like a nice choc-top...

Doesn't matter. They played to the same rules as every other team.

We won 4 in a row with a bullshit challenge rule. It's stupid now, but it was the rule that applied.

Bulldogs are playing the same system the other 7 finalists are playing.
