Three things I've learned-Round 7 V Richmond

Re: Three things I've learned-Round 7 V Richmond

Not something I have learned but something that is starting to really annoy me.

Every time we win a close game lately the focus post game is about the umpiring. It is either a "controversial" umpiring decision or a lop sided free kick count in our favour that "robbed" the other team of the win.

And last year it was all about the pre finals bye, and then the biased umpiring in the Grand Final, insinuating that our premiership was not deserved. It was all some AFL conspiracy.

After listening to Bevo on the couch last night and in some of his post game pressers, it seems I am not alone with this observation.

Can't wait for the salt when we go bark to bark, with the free kicks 45-0 in our favour in the Granny.

I have made the same comments as you. I am sick of people insinuating we won because of the frees and don't forget that we were only team that had the bye at the end of the home and away season.

Even on Sat night, a bloke in the pub said - no wonder you won a f flag.

If it is not about the frees, it is about the handle balls - or throws as they are calling them. Personally I am a bit over it.

Agree he was great in the final moments of the prelim but his commentary during the game was ordinary to say the least. He tends to grab a statistic or observation and runs with it the whole game. In the prelim for example, it seemed like every time Clay Smith went near the ball Darcy would mention he kicked four goals in the first half. He really is very limited and like other commentators, he has phrases he trots out incessantly.

Partnered with Basil and Cameron Ling is my worst nightmare. Sorry if I have taken the thread onto a different tangent.

That's OK, conversations expand. And i44 posts in I reckon we can handle two topics at once.

1.Cameron Ling is an out and out Douche Bag and Dog hater.
2.Being behind by 4+ goals at qtr time pisses me right off.
3.Letting Tiggers get to about a 5 goal lead and beating them by less then a goal.
So much fun to watch when their fans start imploding and turning on each other.

Isn't it sweet. It's beautiful to watch.

My attitude is "Jealousy is a curse so *!*!*!*! 'em. We're the Premiers"

Things I have learned the past two weeks

1. Attending a wedding when the dogs are playing is really, really annoying

Twice in a row! Like seriously, who does that?
