    I was halfway through a goal umpire inspired rant being typed on here when we kicked the 2nd last one. But the footy goals smiled on us in the end - and i cant stand the bombers, so doubly sweet!!!

      Rampe anyone? Dane's does look better though. Far more 'cultured'.

          3) Poor goal kicking.
          Corrected for accuracy. And still we won.
          Sometimes determination is everything.

              I thought it was a fair call at the time.......... Deliriously happy to be wrong!

                Wow.
                That was awesome!

                Seriously though, our field kicking is atrocious.

                  We played better and deserved to win. How bad is our kicking!

                    Ifs the problem of the system relying on trying to find sufficient evidence to overturn what the goal umpire initially thinks. In both cases, i feel if there was no decision given initially, the balance of evidence would give them both as goals. But because they need conclusive evidence to overturn the original decision.

                      I can't remember a more dramatic finish since Nick Davis in 2005?

                        Is there anywhere I can watch the replay of the last 10 minutes? I must admit that I turned the TV off in an effort to prevent any neighbour noise complaints, lol!

                          I still cant understand how we won that game. I decided 10 mins to go we had no hope. seemed pretty 2nd rate tonight, except for a few determined champs

                          2005 a much sweeter memory,2012 even better

                            Well done lads. They never gave up, even though I had.

                              They were gorn. Unbelievable. Particularly after Buddy's goal was disallowed
