Match Day Thread Rnd 4 V Fremantle

[GoSouth33]

We weathered Freo's red hot stuff and very nearly stole the game off them. Don't mind losing we we played like that in the second half. Freo on the other hand fell right away after that start and despite the crowd and the umps being on their side should be a tiny bit concerned.

We'll be there at the pointy end, no doubt, and as good a chance as any. This season is shaping as a cracker!

[MattW]

correct weakest call ever let the crowd get to him.

Yep, he was bricking it. Gave two different reports; changed his mind after boundary umpire had alternative view. Goal umpire not up to it.

Is everyone watching the post match on fox??? I hope they continue to put the heat on these disgraceful goal umpires/video review! Absolutely had an impact in deciding the game and horse should demand a formal apology from the AFL!

Don't have Fox. Is it a replay or a discussion you are watching?

[longmile]

umpires have enraged me

[Hotpotato]

That was pretty funny take on the goal umps fiasco stuff ups x 3 by David King...
He always pretty fair .

[troyjones2525]

Thought Hanners was magnificent.

Hanners always gives his all and is already a swans great! But there's no denying that his unfortunate turnover pretty much cost us any chance of winning. Well that and the video reviewer!

[MattW]

For whatever reason, intensity off in the first half. Pleasing to see they can turn the tap back on, with all players buying into the revival, but the likes of Lloyd, Reid, and Rohan particularly satisfying. Loved Tippett's two second half goals (should have been three). That will sting, but I'd like to think we won't turn up soft in the first half in a big game again this year. Kieran Jack needs to start pumping out four quarter performances.

Fyfe and Fremantle have taken a step forward, I think. Very hungry, and better without the distraction of Crowley and Ballentyne.

David King pointed out how the goal umpire was overruled by the field umpire who was a fair way away. I hope that umpire is taken out the back and shot

[aardvark]

I'm over honorable defeats. That first half was woeful. The reason we gave away so many frees is because we were second to the ball the whole first half. The one positive for me was Sam Reid. He's set the benchmark and I expect that sort of performance from him every week now.

Nah, they shouldn't be concerned. We didn't kick a goal after the 12 minute mark of the final term, and they kicked the last two. They did well.

Discussion on the 3 video reviews! David King got stuck right in and showed that insipid goal umpire change his mind on Bird's goal after the boundary came in and said it was touched (looking through 2 goal posts mind you!) It absolutely had an impact on the result as we were flying at that time!

Apology from the AFL you are delusional. Gillon the dill will come out with some garbled crap like he did about not allowing swans to trade. It's obvious that they want GWS as the top team in Sydney

[troyjones2525]

Lol King is really hamming up those poor review decisions!
