Wild speculation, unsubstantiated rumours, silly jokes and opposition delight in another's failures is what makes an internet forum fun.
Blessed are the cracked for they are the ones who let in the light.
I finally watched the game last night.
Ok i am convinced there is something fishy down at docklands..how the hell did the umpires pick out free kicks in front of goal to allow Port to comeback? Almost all weren't there. The Bird HTB was shocking and since when is it a free when your shin gets in the way of a players head? When did the rule that states if your opponents head merely touches your shin its a free. Is it only enforced when the swans play?
After watching Geelong get so much latitude on Saturday night i am convinced that the AFL is one rigged silly code.
Prove me wrong.
I don't think anything / anyone will be able to prove your opinion wrong, as it sure seems pretty rusted on - .
However, Mattner did get a similarly softish free kick earlier in the year for his head making contact with an opposition player's leg - can't remember who we were playing exactly, but I am sure that some on here would recall the discussion (most on RWO argued that the free kick was unwarranted and that Mattner had made the contact, not the player 'standing still' - I argued that it was an unlucky, but fair free kick, but I was in the minority).
Also, on the weekend I actually thought that we had the run of the umpiring decisions in the first half.
I reckon we would be sitting in front of Carlton if it were not for those ridiculous calls resulting in port scoring... actually I'm quite impressed we still beat them by 38 points.
