Umps were hideous against us in Q2. Charlie pinged for holding the ball though tackled as he took possession then 3 htb decision that should have been paid were called play on.
Then Daisy got done over twice - the ungainly handball that was legit then the non mark call that was mark.
And a tackle by Jack I50, near goal, that was holding the ball every day of the week. BT brushed it off saying the defender disposed of the ball correctly - sure, but afterbeing held in the tackle for an eternity.
All that stuff cost us 3 goals one way or the other....
A big 'change' in a tight game...
More later but does make you wonder if the AFL wants certain teams to 'succeed' - or others not to...
I'm sure they have a certain narrative in mind for each and every season. Possibly a two-peat for the Tigger faithful?
Their next project will be "Project Bomber Rehabilitation". Ch 7 (Ch Bummer) was playing its part enthusiastically last night. I think playing finals would be their intermediate goal for this year. :
Reality always wins in the end.
