AFL Finals Week 2

[RB]

The 7 commentators appear to be barracking for the Hawks.

How’s the old duck giving Ginnivan the bird!
Classic

How do I explain this rough tackle crap to my 7yo - total joke.

Don't take them to ground?
Pretty freaking hard when you're running flat out.

Brilliant umpiring by Rosey and Hosko. Dumb footy by Port you can’t put the mayo on tackles and risk slinging players and have their head hit the ground first

Player protection and safety is paramount

You surely don’t genuine believe this? Trolling effort 9/10

Usual shit umpiring.

Easily the worst professional sports league for umpiring.

Terrible bilateral positioning with abysmal line of sight vision and shocking use of the mouth closed with a slight head shake. Don’t start me on their whistle to mouth performance. Affects both the pitch and volume of the blow.Anyone else notice the socks are not pulled up to the same height on three of them.

Absolutely you can’t sling players and have their head hit the ground

For it to be HTB it has to be a legal tackle and Jones and Burgoyne both executed illegal tackles when the used two motions to sling both Hawks into the ground.

The AFL are actively trying to protect tve head so the umpires are instructed to err on the side of player safety when it comes to head knocks with either the ground or the players.

Who wins from here?

I think the Hawks but not by much

Watch it again, Moore flopped.

Taking Rioli with him

That was shocking but can't blame him for trying with what is happening at the other end.

How good is the pressure of finals/knockout footy!

[Armchair expert]

Port are missing Dixon 100% serious

[Armchair expert]

Time for JHF to take over in the last quarter

Port are missing Dixon 100% serious

I was at the pub in the pre-game but did I see he was warming up with the rest of the team?

Late out (illness)

[tigerpie]

This should be a cracker last quarter.
I'm hoping an umpire doesn't impose himself late and effect the result.
I thought last weekend the umpiring was great.
Tonight not so much.

I know that, but if he was sick why was he warming up with the team?

[Armchair expert]

Yes Brian Port kicking goals is dangerous for them.....
