2023 Finals Series

Afl app says Dunkley was injured. No mention in the commentary?

I think he had a dislocated finger.

Ha! But I was referencing umpiring across the whole season. Even watching games where the Swans weren’t involved, there’s been some dreadful decision making, and not even in terms of bias. Just bad and befuddling umpiring. It’s a real issue for the game.

Agree. It's like a bit of a raffle with high contact, 50 metres and standing the mark just to name a few.

Four point game, but Lukes Darcy and Shuey can't find a vote for a Brisbane player?[IMG][/IMG][ATTACH]2438[/ATTACH]

Yeah, well, it’s Luke Darcy.

And by the way, even if the umps wanted to pay advantage, tell me more about the miss of the over the shoulder high on Zac Bailey. Shocker.

Great grand final; Collingwood the better team and deserved to win.

Sticks in my craw but agree.

I thought it was a great spectacle

Rrrrrrrrrrr ????

Was a great game I agree and yes no media for 48 hours

Since the West Coast win of 2006, there's been 16 Victorian premiership winners and 2 to the rest of Australia. Which suggests that there's a reason or two, other than luck involved.

This is generally the worst year of umpiring I’ve seen in 30 years of footy, and I’m not even referencing how it affects us. They’ve added a fourth umpire to the field, but they keep overloading them with new rules and interpretations. I actually have some sympathy for them, but some of the decisions today were so subpar and lopsided - summed up by the last play re advantage. Brisbane neither knew it was their penalty, or had taken any control of the ball - so how they could have taken a decision to play on is beyond me.

did you miss 2016?

Pa congrats to our ex players Mitchell and Cameron etc

Mitchell is getting 0 kudos from me. Grub of a player and person from what I've seen

Screw Mitchell, he can go jump.

But Cameron has done well for the toothless ones.

If you were a Lions fan that Jarrod Berry 50m (which I thought was fair) and that non-advantage advantage would be etched in your memory for years to come
