Winning ugly can also so be winning beautifully.

Croze is AA

You can jump on a bloke's back, wrap your arms around his throat and still come out with the free...

The umpiring, mostly in the last quarter was awful. There were about 4 non htb calls against the suns in their forward 50, but then Libba got pinned when he had no chance to get rid of it in our forward 50. Same with another call on Caleb. Although some players still haven’t clicked on that you need to look like you’re trying to get rid of it. Vanda was an example and he was about to get pinned but luckily Bailey Smith dipped it from his grasp and it was play on. I loved that from Bailey.

There were also horrible non calls on Wallis (in the back), Caleb in a head lock and a blatant throw in Ben King. I never say umpires affect results and it still wouldn’t have but there was some dubious umpiring last night

At one stage in the last quarter Gold Coast were playing basketball in their forward 50. They threw the ball to each other three times in one stretch of play.

The Bont one? That was an unbelievable decision

Wasn’t one of their goals in the last qtr clearly an incorrect disposal? I mean it was so obvious and the ump was in a position to see it. The other one that really got my goat up was the slide on the far wing which involved Suckling. I was totally gobsmacked when the free was awarded to GC.

There were mystifying decisions all over the shop. But I thought that the worst were some players blatantly throwing/handing the ball to each other.

1. Our backline is settled and is gelling together well. The type of backline you need in the finals.

2. I was bumfuzzled by some of the umpiring decisions.

3. Young can kick accurately at goal.
