A tie between us and the umps for dumb decisions and execution of them. The umps were biased and shocking but we still should have won. 

Pickett's "dangerous tackle" call has to be one of the worst umpiring decisions ever made. I wonder if we will get a worthless apology now during the week like Brisbane and Geelong did ::).
. We led most of the game and the decisions cost the outcome.  The other thing they kept getting away with all night was shoving players in the back at marking comps even into other players.

If any of the following happens in the last qtr we win the game

1. Jack halves a few contests
2. The umpires don't shaft us completely with ridiculous decisions.
    - The last contest of the game was a free kick to Bolton for a push out
    - Pickett free kick was a joke
    - Grimes free kick when he hand balled it was a joke
    - Kennedy grassed a mark from a kick that went 8m.
3. Chol being willing to work hard to get to defensive contests
4. Cotch being able to go with Yeo
5. Flossy hitting a target with his kick

We didn't get any of these right and hence lost.  Get one of these right and we win

On 360 they measured Ryan's kick at 14.5 metres (bullshyte) which according to Laurel & Hardy was "close enough".... ::)

Here's the segment from 360:

"Let's settle the debate..."

The #AFL360 team reveal exactly how long Liam Ryan's kick to Josh Kennedy was on Sunday night.

Was it the full 15 metres?

By AAP
15 June 2021

WEST Coast forward Josh Kennedy admits he was a little lucky to be paid the mark that led to his match-winning goal against Richmond, but he's adamant the ball travelled the necessary 15 metres.

Debate has raged about the distance of Liam Ryan's pass ever since Kennedy nailed the snap with 40 seconds to go that sunk the tigers by four points last Sunday night.

A measurement of the kick broadcast on Fox Footy placed it at 14.5 metres - 50 centimetres short of what is required under official rules for a mark to be paid (watch the pass in the player below).

Kennedy says it travelled the necessary distance but understands the umpires could have easily thought otherwise.

"They're the ones that sometimes they call play on, sometimes they don't. I was quite lucky in the end," Kennedy told 6PR.

"I felt like it was 15m and the umpire called it 15m, so we'll take it.

Kennedy also said drug use has never been a part of West C history or culture!

Talk about kissed on the Willy.  Cats give away so many frees that aren't paid at that poor excuse for a ground

Both teams are chuckers. Dogs actually won the free kick count 21-13.

Almost fell off my chair when Selwood was actually pinged for a throw  :o. Rarer than Haley's comet.

More than a few tackles in that match rewarded with free kicks that I have no doubt would've been ruled in the back had it been us.... :shh
