I’m still in shock. What an unbelievable game. Horrible, ugly game, terrible skills by us mostly. Stuffed up umpiring in the early days and seemingly you can drop the ball when you’re tackled and that’s acceptable.
But make no mistake, we had that to lose by deplorable skills and missing teammates - shithouse games really by setterfield,Peterski-seton, Kennedy! Cripps played awful. Gibbo nowhere.
Newnes what a kick amazing!

I have to say, that is probably the worst 10 minutes of umpiring perhaps in the history of the AFL.
Both sides had the right to feel ripped off, it felt like three umpires in uncontrolled bum decision free fall. They made some horrible horrible mistakes, either outright errors or disgraceful non-decisions, then just chased the errors getting more chaotic and error prone as they went.
Nice to be on the end of Newnes kick, one that he probably should not have been taking, but that is about the only positive to come out of the last quarter of football. Excluding that is was crap disposal, fumbling, hospital hand-passes, panic stations, bad umpiring and straight out cheating.
Uber glad that smug Lobb was standing on the line to watch it sail over his head, what a piece of human detritus he is!

“ The Blues finished up winning the disposals 220-212, clearances 34-26, tackles 52-46, contested possessions 118-106, free kicks 13-9 and scoring shots 15-11.”
We were by far the better team in the second half, Cripps stepped up and Murphy got more involved. (Has Spanner gone to bed?)

Remember a similar horrid, close win against Freo over there in 2016. Worst game ever. then we won 5 of our next 6.

Not sure if anyone else agrees but the 5 possessions that Honey had, makes me think that he could be a player. Just moved like he belongs.
