Grand Final. Swans v. Bulldogs.

[ANNODAM]

So I hear people commenting how the Bullflogs supporters outnumbered the COLL ones when it came to post-game celebrations.

Fkn bullshit!

No way was there more Coode Islanders at the Western Oval yesterday than COLL ones, especially after 1990, the whole of Smith St & VIC Park exploded back then!
I saw yesterdays event & the attendance & nup no way!
Plus, I attended the 1990 & the 2010 post-game celebrations, so I can make a comparison, no way the Bullflogs out-numbered us!

Admittedly, 1990 felt a bit more special than 2010 only 'cause it was at VIC Park but 2010 was right up there as well...

So yeah, go fk yourselves you useless bandwagoner twats!

From the Australia:

The umpiring of the grand final has been found to be below the standard expected from officials at the elite level.

The AFL reviewed the performances of the game’s umpires and found that three to four incorrect decisions went against Sydney, Fox Sports reported last night.

Decisions deemed incorrect included some failures to call sliding free kicks, most notably the slide by Western Bulldogs captain Easton Wood on the Swans’ Dan Hannebery that resulted in a medial ligament injury to the midfielder in the final quarter when the game was in the balance.

At least one other slide that didn’t receive any sanction was viewed as a mistake.

Incidents that were contentious included below-the-knees contact from Toby McLean on Kieren Jack, with the free kick going against Jack, as well as a slide from Dale Morris on the wing that saw Tom Papley tumble over.

Another incident in the third quarter involved Dane Rampe being called for holding the ball, which the league deemed an incorrect decision.

The free kick against Rampe was quickly followed by a Clay Smith free kick for a high tackle, from which he scored.

Overall, the Western Bulldogs received 20 free kicks to the Swans’ eight. The differential of 12 was the biggest in a grand final since the three-umpire system was introduced in 1994.





No surprise there, but with the game still anyone's at the start of the last quarter, you'd be a little pissed off as a swans fan!
