Game Day Round 7 2015 - Western Bulldogs V Fremantle

Re: Game Day Round 7 2015 - Western Bulldogs V Fremantle

We'll have to agree to disagree on this one. I thought the outcome was definitely influenced by Fyfe's left leg slipping from under him first and him falling awkwardly. Given the sudden loss of footing - I really don't think it was a considered action of malice.

Don't think there was malice either but believe he had intent to stop Kobe.

Couldn't agree more, I feel intentional tripping is not only dangerous but also cheating. There should have also been an auto 50 metres to stop this sort of thing.

There was and it was a good rule. I'm buggered if I know why they got rid of it.

So it's gone? Wondered why we didn't get 50 for it.

Does anyone think that Riewoldt should have been reported for a careless tackle? Forget that he knocked himself out, but Bridie Smith was also concussed? What is the difference between that bump and the May one last week?

Brodie had the ball, Nick made head high contact. Yes, it should have been looked at.

But they didn't because it was Nick? It makes you wonder.

Yeah it's been gone for quite a few years now. I found out a few years ago by screaming at the umpire for not paying the 50m only for the guy behind to point out the rule had gone a couple of years earlier.

It was a good rule that took away the incentive to trip someone to hold them up. It should be brought back.

Goodes doesn't really get much love in here sometimes, but his hardness is really important in a developing side.
Such a solid bloke. I reckon Mundy will be sore for a few days after that head cruncher.

And I'm finding that out this year.

Is anyone else still really really angry that we lost? Not annoyed or frustrated but angry. Still.

It's good. I like it.

I got used to losing in the last few years and it didn't get to me when we lost. But this loss has made me angry. We should have won that game because we are a better team than Freo and we played better footy on the day. I'm really looking forward to thumping Melbourne on the weekend.

Two weeks of anger in fact.

I found all sorts of reasons we lost to the saints and it almost made sense to me that we gave up a ten goal lead. I was fine with it.

But this loss has really stuck in my craw. I'm counting down the days until we play Melbourne.

I'm the opposite. I'm proud of how far we pushed Freo, but I felt they deserved the win. A little more experienced and polished when it counted, but it gave me the confidence that in 1-2 years we can challenge.

It did, however, and still, makes me bitterly angry about our loss to St. Kilda because we never should have lost that game. No excuse when you're 55 points up in the third quarter against poor opposition.

Agree.. All key stats show that Fremantle were the dominant team on the day, but our ability to take our chances from limited opportunities and hang in there gave me a sense of satisfaction after the game.

We really would have pinched this one if we had come out victors.

Same for me really. That St Kilda loss will stay with me, and burn.
