AFL Rd 22 2023 Post Game Prognostications Carlton vs Melbourne

[Thryleon]

Before we get all high and mighty about the umpires Cripps was gifted a goal he probably shouldn't have had for a throw that was really an illegal disposal.

That being said, they get a lot wrong both for and against both teams and the result was the correct one imho.  We were due a bit of footy gods luck.

Razor was going to ball it up.  A non-controlling umpire 30-40m away paid the dangerous tackle free.

What about the blatant throw from Petracca that resulted in the Neal-Bullen goal in the third quarter?

Yes was going to mention that. Razor looked from side to side to see if any of the other umpires were going to pay the free kick. He was the controlling umpire and was directly in front of it.

No wonder their sponsored by OPSM!!

Has anyone in the media mentioned WHY Ray has been afforded the luxury of not having to bounce the ball at centre bounces?

Honestly, i think the bounce is a very outdated tradition.
We are losing good umpires, and preventing new ones from joining the elite, because they need to perfect the bounce.
Forget that. Throw the ball up and get the best umpires we can get based on decision making ability and knowledge of the game......not a party trick.

Oliver threw the ball and it was unquestionably a free to Cripps.

It’s disappointing that so many throws are let go.

Just watched the replay ?

- didn't capitalise on early dominance. High pressure but also missed a couple of easy one's
- last line work is next level
- leaders led
- role players played their roles
- 100% effort 100% of the game
- Harry-less Charlie double teamed again. Held, pushed, but kept fighting
- we made a mockery of some of the commentary
- priceless celebrations by players, coaches, and game day staff (Vossy's bear hug with physio summed it up ?)
- our supporters are so important (bring it v gws)
- we have cohesion, commitment, team focus, and some kind of x-factor going on. Then there's momentum!
- just one more W
- any Voss doubters have been challenged

Go Blues

With our win over Casey, it's just become a Deelightful weekend for Bluebaggers.
Someone had to say it ?Anyways it's got to be better than "isn't that good" or "woowee". And it doesn't cost a cent?

Waverley Blues defeated Montrose Demons in U11 GF as well.  Great weekend.

Perfect. Pretty sure the U11's would appreciate the humour. Or not ?
