1st QF Swans v Giants

[AnnieH]

It's an honour to get a death threat from Annie.

Can I have one? I'll trade you some Neil Diamond records ......

Let me think about it.
So long as the sweet bloody caroline bit is scratched...

You'd feel my death threat.
Undo the elastic in your undies.
It's affecting the oxygen getting to your brain.

Heeney non-Mark/non-free kick is discussed on Whistleblowers. Hayden Kennedy says decision not to award a free kick was correct - but he would not have disagreed if a mark had been awarded.

How can we expect decent umpiring when this is how they're managed.

This isn't a once-off - its symptomatic of how their hierarchy assess the umpires performance each week.

It isn't always black or white, but if they cut the bull@@@@ in instances like the Heeney one and just give honest feedback to their umpires and say they made a mistake, then we might actually see them make the right decision the next time.

Yet we regularly see this crap where they say that whichever way the umpires pay it, it would have been the right call - which is ridiculous and weak management / leadership.

Please, no more death threats annie. Its so unbecoming

Of course the swans are going to sit back at take it... that's what they're good at.
If we DO say something, we get fined.

Welcome to the I hate the blacktown bogans club.

I will never put money into their pocket... even if we play them at home 10 times in one year.

I'm with Annie on this one - that filthy club will get none of my money. They can go screw themselves after their disgusting behaviour on the weekend.

But just think if the prelim is Hawks v GWS they will be belting the crap out of each other - bring it on I say!!!

Or they could both just play a fast free flowing game.

Haven't seen the replay and probably won't but from watching live at the ground I thought it was falling into his back after the mark was completed

Ahhh, that would make more sense! I was a little confused and just saw the replay on the big screen and thought it was for shoving someone other than Papley in the chest and thought it was a bit stiff on Wilson (but was happy about it!).

Wilson seemed to be the one guy we were able to keep decent pressure on, I can't really recall him having a big impact (and I think he's the most damaging, if least consistent, of their running backs). Does anyone know who was matched up with him? Was it a good job by them, or just a down game from Nathan?

[goswannies]

Yeah I am torn BUT at least with the hawks its deserved unlike if GWS win it.

Hawks deserve it more than GWS, but I don't think they deserve it this year.

Maybe you should hold your breath waiting for that Sydney granny.
You'll eventually go purple and die.

Please, no more death threats annie. Its so unbecoming

All a bit dramatic ... & off topic ... doesn't look like she threatened you at all.

Back on topic, I don't know if I want the Hawks to win to deprive Stevie J a grand final or GWS to win to deprive the Hawks of the oportunitirs of the 4 flags ... carn the Bulldogs!

We assumed that it must have been for a high fend off at the ground and I didn't twig it was because of incorrect disposal until seeing the clip on Whistleblowers.

Whilst we're on things I missed- can anyone fill me in on the 50m penalty against Wilson that resulted in a Papley goal? It looked like he was shoved in the chest by a Swan, shoved him back and then the whistle was blown straight away? Did the commentary mention anything beyond that?

As the lone rational voice on here at the moment, i tipped this . Johnson 1, mummy 0.

TBH Barry we all knew this would be the outcome, but hoped otherwise.

There was no way in hell that Dumbford would get suspended at all, Johson they can do without, but not Dumbford.

[Meg]

Worms: there's too many worms!

Yeah but they were all running around above the surface wearing orange!
