Indeed. Cheats. We won in spite of their obvious cheating in giving us 20 frees to 14.

Not clear cut from the umpires. He was very good but not outstanding. Reckon big Ro might have attracted their attention more.

I reckon the ump must’ve had him in his multi to kick a goal

Re: Match Thread Saints v Dockers Round 23 2021
To be fair, there was only one howler against us today - that 50m penalty which should have been get back 2 metres or the mark set and the player put on an angle.

Re: Match Thread Saints v Dockers Round 23 2021
Well done Saints. It's nice to go out on a winning note. We had at least 7 players out which would be starting 18 so it was a good effort.

Yeah they must mean regular season tackles because he got 7 today and he's on 186 and all the players with more played finals that year.therabbitinthehat wrote: ↑Sun 22 Aug 2021 4:21pmweird, they're saying he's averaging 9 a game but is actually averaging 8.5roskilde wrote: ↑Sun 22 Aug 2021 4:12pm Got it from the Saints official website:

Re: Match Thread Saints v Dockers Round 23 2021
It is not over.
If Collingwood defeat Essendon, Fremantle can appeal the match result.
They will claim they are entitled to the win because they are powerful club, and they are entitled as they are a purple haze from Western Australia.
Besides the AFL is corrupt and there must always be a West Australian team in the final series.
