AFL 2021

Lions were banged up and were hanging on
But the Carlton cheerleading was ridiculous
Good win in the end. That goal by daniher was repayment for being a useless shit the rest of the game

God they flogged them. Big night for Melbourne

What an amazing piece of scheduling by the AFL to have their Anzac day fixtures include 4 of the bottom 5 clubs, and 1 who is destined to finish with them.

Another poor second quarter, injuries. Melbourne played the much better football for the conditions. They look like being a real contender for finals based on this form.

Jesus what has happened to St Kilda? That's appalling
Other 2 games today were actually pretty good but the saints are a hot mess
Entire comp tipped on its head this weekend
-
Good news? Lions in to the 8
Bad news? Lachie Neale out for 8 weeks.

@mariner4life Must have been 10-0

Gotta ask questions of a sport that can't even keep track of the ball being in the field of play.
Twice now I've watched goals given when a replay clearly shows the ball completely crossing the boundary line.
Essendon player obviously didn't keep the ball in play and then kicked a goal.
Bemusedly everyone watched the replay showing out of bounds and then watched the resulting centre bounce with the best excuse being "ummm i guess it's too late now"Not so in the Cats game where the player was off the field being interviewed as the officials finally confirmed a goal - and interrupted a tv interview!
Strange lapses in reason.

I find there are numerous instances of confusing and/or incorrect calls by the umpires, and half the time the commentators are purely guessing what's happened. It's like it's just an accepted part of the sport that there will be a significant proportion of grey area calls that might be noted at the time by the comms but they're never fully delved into and nor is there a mechanism for reviewing them (possibly because this would take far too long and create far too many stoppages).

Another massive game for the Premiers. Having copped a hiding last week, they now get the form team in the comp. If they get beat again, my confidence that it will all come good at for Richmond at the right time will be dented.

@mariner4life A loss I can cope with. Going to sleep in the second quarter and being flogged on clearances is a different matter.
