Following our exes...................

Re: Following our ex's...................

That doesn't fit my we were robbed narrative.

Well I'm not really disagreeing with you - I 100% blame the umpire for creating the situation by saying it.

Of course, Brian could have helped by just holding off on the roughing up for a couple of minutes.

Re: Following our ex's...................

Pretty interesting time to start playing around with the rules and conventions of the game from the umpire.

Lake should have been able to heed the warning, but that the warning was made in the first place is beyond belief considering that type of contact was happening all over the ground throughout the entire game.

He's an interesting cat Briza, very funny guy but deeper than that I think. I don't feel any animosity towards him for leaving, I actually have spoken to him about this over beers at the local footy club when I was there and he was just disillusioned at the Dogs and needed a change.

Re that Reiwoldt incident I barely remember the conversation but I believe he said he either didn't hear the umpire or he didn't bump him with any force the last time.

Edit : I actually raised it with another former defender during the Saints game this year (recently departed to QLD) and I even re-enacted the dive.
He shook his head and walked away. I think because of my play acting mainly.

Also that bump was before the ball was bounced, and Riewoldt either over reacted or is a big pussy.

At the end of the day, that bump did not lose us the game.

Another piece on Stringer, because there's not a day that ends in Y that he's not talked about on SEN (I assume):

Re: Following our ex's...................

Wow, just watch Tim Watson and the Channel Essendon sports report run with this one tonight. Couldn't be bothered reading the article but wondering about Jake's private trainer, what's her name and what year level is she completing in 2022?

It certainly put us on the backfoot big time. It was a scrap to score goals and we gifted them one.

We still had two quarters to play. We kicked 1.4 in the last and they kicked 2 goals.

Agree with this entirely.

It was unquestionably the play acting.

Also weird that Lake said he didn't hear it - as I recall the umoire said it directly to him.

If one of our players did that and it gifted us a goal in a game where goals were priceless you'd be all over Twitter with Photoshops of that player pulling the wool over the Umps eyes and saying he should be king of Moomba.

You don't fool me.

Anyway, in my opinion the deliberate out of bounds against Akermanis and Shaggy were far more dubious.

Re: Following our ex's...................

Ultimately Riewoldt dived but it was stupid of Lake to do it. Even then we lost the match due to inaccuracy.

It was a while ago I could've inserted a memory that doesnt exist.
Like that time me and Brian had a fight and he pinched my Adam's apple in the pocket at Telstra Dome when I was Drew Petrie.
Rude!

(I've had a long day at work)

Don’t turn to facts to support your argument!

These two....Shaggy's clear kick for a holding the ball decision, Aker's kick to position and out of bounds deliberately were just some of the new rules introduced that night.

The Brisa "don't touch one specific player even though everyone else is doing it right now" rule is just the cherry.

He always does that, he literally can't help himself.

Oh that's right it was holding the ball. I knew I didn't feel right when I wrote OOB.
