Ha, this quarter summary runs pretty long…
QUARTER TWO
-
Hart-Aluni’s hands aren’t great in this game. Not wet/NT-enough!
-
Bernardi having the running shot from 51m out on the boundary. Greedy, on-the-full.
-
Commentators counting Molan fumbles: up to 4 after 27 minutes. Very not usual.
-
7:45 well done umpire. Huge duck and fake punching-the-ball-out results in holding the ball.
-
9:00 lovely ground collect by Morrow and feed out to Ryan.
-
We are still in this. But at 9:15 Tassiopoulos get doubled-dudded on HTB. She then gets harshly treated again 10 seconds later in a marking contest. Doijok pumps it deep forward, and a gross in-the-back of Robinson in the goal square sees perhaps the sealing goal. 3 of those 4 decisions within that minute were definitely wrong. ■■■■■■■ hell.
-
LOL, Gemma clearly watched the Essendon AFL game, because she goes out of her way to blame us rather than the involved umpires (who she concedes set up the play). No, they just ■■■■■■ us over 3-4 times in a minute and directly caused that goal. We had no time to have a sook, and we didn’t.
-
Says we “were trailing everyone to the footy at all times”. You just saw Robinson out-sprinting two Kangaroos to the goal square, which allowed them to put two hands through her jumper number. FFS.
-
11:10 “dangerous tackle”, my arse.
-
11:30 Molan is tackled by the neck, ump has a perfect view and says NO.
-
12:30, everyone stops for the whistle and goes “huh?”… except Barba. Alana has her back to the ump and has no idea what the free is but keeps running. Got lucky.
-
Gemma says we are giving away the frees; I yell ■■■■ YOU.
-
14:05 BRONX CHEER after Norf are pinged for dragging it in. That leads to good marks by Davidge and then Richardson.
-
15:20 that’s not opportunity. ■■■■ off.
-
“We’re not here to complain about umpires — we’re here to talk about the game itself”… ■■■■ umpiring is absolutely part of this game.
-
Again says Essendon are distracted by the ■■■■ umpiring and haven’t bounced back in the past seven minutes… somehow forgetting that Norf haven’t legitimately scored in that time either.
-
16:10 WTF was that?!? Norf player deliberately runs into the back of Tassiopoulos rather than contest the ruck, and the ump pays them the free 20m from our goal. Wow.
-
Gemma says our coaches need to tell our players that the umps are morons, and that will make them less moronic. Get stuffed.
-
16:55 if the third Tassiopoulos decision 7.5 minutes ago was deemed too physical, then why do they not pay Molan’s big spoil now? UmpLotto is why.
-
18:00 “Scar” is not going to die wondering vs Dojiok.
-
18:30 unclear whether that is a mark (and hence goal). Robinson manifestly demonstrative.
-
Wow. At best 1 legit goal from that quarter, very possibly none. And the game is over.
-
I didn’t enter this re-watch expecting to go off like this… but holy ■■■■ that was bad. Across 9 minutes I make it 7 shockers against us and 2 debatables. Call it 7 and 1, because Dojiok debatably should have got a holding free not long before her possible-mark.
-
It does tell you how bad this ground is for watching footy… though the first Tassiopoulos tackle was incredibly obvious from 100m away, as was the high tackle on Molan.
