I haven't seen much of the game other than the last 10-15min as I was at the GP. But all this talk of "an ugly win", "stole the game", what a load of nonsense. Couple of things:
- Stolen win - Nathan Williamson says hi. We have.had plenty of games "stolen" from us, what goes around comes around.
- Ugly win - A W is W every day of the week and Ill take it however I can get it especially on the road.
I have read Newman absolutely gave Tobey Greene a bath, that's excellent news. Greene is one of the comps few genuine match winners who I'd have in our side in a heart beat so that's a huge scalp for Newmy.
Whatever happened yesterday, its done. Review, reset and focus on smashing Norf this week please, it will be no easy gig but we MUST bank wins early and set the scene for the year ahead.

Same page here, GTC old son. I was honestly gobsmacked when I saw the headline that we stole the game. 10 more shots on goal and we stole the game, eh... FO. Absurd, wrong and insulting to our boys.

And Robbo wrote last night that the dissent call late in last was 'preposterous'... I can only assume that in a frantic effort to be 'first' and the most 'sensational,' Robbo forgot about the truth/reality. What was the umpire to do when Coniglio let rip on him? Mind you I understand Coniglio's frustration that H wasn't free kicked for incorrect disposal but as a leader, especially, you don't cross the line with your mouth at the umpire... and I think Coniglio realised that, judging by the look on his face after the fact. What did he think would happen when abusing the ump?

There's obviously been a bit more than just a wave of the arms.
If Coniglio has sworn at the umpire isn't that a reportable offence?

If you watch The Round So Far on the AFL website, from about the 5 min mark, you can see a replay of the umpire explaining to Whitfield why the free was paid : Coniglio puts his arms out and says "how is that not a free kick ?". If that's the extent of it, then it's a poor decision IMO.

There is a suggestion (I first heard it on the after match commentary) that there was also some swearing involved.

Ì wonder why the umpire didn't include that in his explanation to Whitfield  ?

I think the umpire explained fairly accurately to the GWS player (not Cogs), he stated that his arms were wide appart and he yelled what's that, the umpire then explained definitely "that's dissent". So as Baggers so eloquently stated, the GWS players and everyone else can FO!
