Preliminary Final - Glenelg v Sturt @ AAMI - Sun 27/9

[Dirko]

Let's hope our game on Sunday is not affected like the VFL Grand Final is tonight by poor umpiring decisions.
May the best team win 'cause they're the best team...not by dodgy game affecting umpiring decisions.

The umpiring tonight at the VFL game has been

Glenelg to bounce back on Sunday to set up a Grand Final rematch with Centrals.

The Umpires for this game are

Field:- Richard Williams, Colin Rowston and Tony Dey
Boundary:- R. England, A. Meade, J. Moore and D. Fenton
Goal:- S. Paunovic and D. Hoskin

Tony Dey, surely he has got compromising photos of Shane Harris, how does he get league games still let alone finals????

[Cambridge Clarrie]

We don't have a hope in hell with that 'Dream Team' officiating...

It's a bit of a worry when Williams is the one I'm least worried about!

Holy shit! It's the Holy Trinity! Blood red skies in Sydney, floods in Adelaide, there's surely gotta be a plague of locusts somewhere! Not to mention the Devils son being lauded a false prophet and winning the Brownlow.
Either it'll be Judgement Day or a remake of a 3 Stooges film. gnuck, gnuck, gnuck

My prediction was sooooo wrong last week that the tigers would beat the dogs in the 2nd semi but lose the Grand Final.

Funny game footy, my excuse for such a stupid prediction was i didn't realise Glenelg had won 14 in a row up until then. ( they were due for a loss )
Knowing that now i'm tipping the Tigers to beat the Blues in a tough one sunday.
For the big one next week geeeez i can't believe i'll be barracking for the Tigers to beat the Dogs.

Come and join the Louts NM and help kick them home!

I might just do that Dutchy!

But I suppose anything is possible!

Who would have thought on the evening of the 26th September '82 just after that prelim that 27 years later Graham Cornes' own son would be playing in a number 18 Port guernsey?

And a big hello to Col and Richard who I know read this site, two good umpires who reward the blokes who get front position and play the footy. Whatever their faults you can't say they aren't consistant. Very happy to see them umpiring tomorrow.

It must be tough having been the best team all season to be facing the probability of a straight sets exit tomorrow afternoon. It must feel just shocking.

Horrible. This needs to be drummed into their players heads how bad this scenario would be.

i dont think we were the best team all year

the best team has been centrals and they will win the flag no matter who wins tomorrow

No kidding!

Central, from what I've seen haven't been the best team this year. They've won two finals within a goal and I expect that regardless of who they end up playing they be found wanting next weekend...

Glenelg have been the best team this year and I expect they'll be holding the cup aloft on Grand Final day...

[Psyber]

Centrals will be down to business and win this years GF too, I expect, by sheer professionalism.
So tomorrow's match hardly matters.

Really? Cool, let's just call it off then. Save a few dollars.

Yep, the Bays have this won already, with Rowston and especially Dey officiating. Earlier in the week I thought Bays by plenty - now I think Bays get a dubious free kick into time on to snatch it. I could be wrong though...Sturt need to be 40 pts up and 2-1 FFvFA at 3/4 time to "snatch" this one from the umps - but, I fear that this will be 11 games on the trot for Sturt FA > FF. We are rooted
