Should be an especially violent encounter.

I can’t wait.

Chrichton for Churchill medal.

Your team does not deserve to be the winners. Is the ref included in your CAP

Thanks mate. On reflection the refereeing wasn't as bad as people first thought

They got the turnover with the trainer correct, even though the rule is archaic and daft.

I was wondering if Whitehead was onside and then there's the question of contact with Keary's legs. Would the video ref have found a penalty?

As for the change of call, they changed it to the right call, so in that respect they got it right.

I feel for Canberra as they didn't have the rub of the green in those moments but the referees actually made the correct (albeit hard to accept in the spirit of the game I suppose) decisions

It was a great day and a great GF. We were worthy winners, in all said and done. Yes, there were calls that went against them, but we had a our fair share as well. Losing a player for 10 minutes was significant, not to mention Aubo off our bench. Put simply, our defense was the difference in the end, enough said.

Strongly disagree.
