I'll cop that every week for the 4Jaz wrote: ↑Sun 09 Jun 2024 5:32pm Always happy to win but are we really happy with how the game is being played? Less than 100 points total for the game and 30+ were helped by umpiring decisions close to goal. Pretty sure that’s the second lowest winning score at marvel, no surprise we have the honour of the lowest winning total from 2010.
If that’s how you feel, mate, I feel a little bit sorry for ya

With Gold Coast leading by three points at Marvel Stadium on Saturday night, Andrew was penalised for an off-the-ball hold on St Kilda spearhead Max King as the pair jostled close to goal.
Stephen McBurney, the AFL's Head of Officiating, conceded on Sunday that both players were grappling and the correct decision would have been to call play on.
"(The umpire) assessed that Andrew put both arms around Max King and paid holding the man. We think looking at the full context and with the benefit of all the angles we had, we think the better call in that situation was no call," McBurney said.
"We don't think there was enough to constitute holding and we think there was significant contact both ways as they were grappling and running for position.
Despite the error, McBurney said the umpire in question will continue to officiate at AFL level, saying "he absolutely will not be dropped over a decision like this".
"We can see why the umpire has paid the free kick. It wouldn't be classified as a major error or a critical error under our assessment. It was a judgement call," he said.

Did the opposition sides in those games not have coaches?
Packing the backline is a coaching move as old as the game itself, it may or may not save games but it is not going to help create a good team game in the longer term..it's actually bullish*t and the sign of a desperate coach. Lyon has brought this type of negative rubbish football to the club, and he can wear the consequences.Yorkeys wrote: ↑Mon 10 Jun 2024 2:10amDid the opposition sides in those games not have coaches?
Ross is indisputably a great structural coach whatever talent or lack thereof he has to work with.
P. Roos may be the best ever at defence and negating oppo strengths.
Ross isn't far behind.
It should be possible to dislike his style immensely but simultaneously acknowledge his comparative advantage.
I guess the stat quoted is supposed to be derogatory. It actually shows you coach against Ross you better be on your game.
James Bartel, talking head, was a great player never a great coach. James any comment on how Cats are travelling, Hawkins geriatrics. Supporters, real supporters should see through how the Bartels of the world see us a soft target and they can hide their inanity behind punching down on us. Parasite.

Can we get something straight. He did not win – ugly or otherwise. The umpire won them the game. As per the AFL, the free kick wasn’t there. So, theoretically, they lost – again.
But they are happy paying the same free to Dixon, Curnow et al....
I certainly agree with you, Sainter-Dad. But, the fact remains that we only won by default.Sainter_Dad wrote: ↑Mon 10 Jun 2024 12:57pmBut they are happy paying the same free to Dixon, Curnow et al....
Of course the free was not there - Max was wearing RW&B
