Round 14: Collingwood vs Hawthorn - MCG

[base615]

At least they are calling it correctly there.

I know. Just feels wrong when that is rewarded but a decent tackle isn't

 

[Damon_3388]

spoken like a true Collingwood whinger. Hows clokes kicking going? may need to send the tomahawk down for a coaching lesson

There's sweet FA difference between Cloke's conversion rate (32.19, 62.75%) and that of the Coleman Medal leader Josh Kennedy (46.26, 63.88%) this season, as well as other top goalkickers like Buddy (36.22, 62.07%) and Jeremy Cameron (35.20, 63.64%)...

Is it bed time yet?

this is the same flog who claimed buddy was just protecting himself when he can ran past the ball and bumped Edwards last week

 

[ItsOver9000]

I don't know what your spell check settings are but I like it

Starting to wish i meant that now

 

[Gasometer]

Why is Mitchell getting boos? For last week?

 

[loki04]

how many throws and just handing the ball over has Hawks gotten away with this game? f me dead got at least 3 of their goals from it.

 

[biggiemediums]

So you can jut throw guys out of a contest that dont have the ball now

Maybe if they called hawthorns 20 holding the balls it would be okay to complain about that one tackle...

 

[Lost_Deputy]

One of the games of the season. Bloody Pies are sooo good!

 

[Mkcaptain]

Umps seem to have put the whistle away tonight

 

[beerbandit]

Travis " Get out of my way " Cloke has been good

 

[Gasometer]

is it my imagination or has C7 turned the crowd noise up a couple of notches tonight?

Your imagination

 

[DT2000]

ripping first half of footy, finals-like atmosphere too.

 

[Mr Meeseeks]

Maybe if they called hawthorns 20 holding the balls it would be okay to complain about that one tackle...

20 huh?

 

[Biggy_Boy]

Great 1st half. 7-5 frees is good umpiring. No one had been favoured. Cloke lucky with a high fend off - Rioli a lucky goal from a poor decision. Nil all draw from the umps. Game on!!!

The game has rules. Few frees paid isn't necessarily a good thing if rules are being broken but not being adjudicated. If umpires don't want to call things like incorrect disposal, then that's all well and good, but I don't want to watch games tomorrow and see the standard changed. The problem is consistency. It's amateurish for the rules of a professional game to essentially change on a game-by-game basis per the discretion of the umpires.

 

[sherb]

don't talk about ruckmen carlton flog

I expect the elite players to be able to kick with both feet.

Don't you?

 

[DT2000]

Your imagination

really, you don't find the roars after goals are more audible than last night and previous weeks?

 

[Farang83150]

Bruce was edging the whole half, of swanny gets a goal in the 2nd half the com box will look like that room in the Alien movie where all the alien eggs where laid, dripping from the cieling!!

 

[DaVillaBlues]

Anyone who thinks the Pies are getting a hard done by the umps either is biased or actually has NFI.

Collingwood got a big leg up that quarter, Pies fans have no right to whinge.

 

[YES! YES! YES!]

Just putting it out there.

Is playing those drugs bus ads really suitable given the horrible events that have occurred today?

 

[Sprout]

is it my imagination or has C7 turned the crowd noise up a couple of notches tonight?

Still frustratingly quiet to my ears.

He has had years to improve his kicking, yet still cant convert better than young blokes like bruest and gunstan

 

[Gasometer]

No .

Saturday night is worse...that sounds like canned crowd noise

 

[sherb]

Cloke just has no regard for the rules of the game

He's the reason we have umpires.

 

[Long Live HFC]

yeah i dont get the hawks' fans' complaints about the umpiring. think we were very lucky in many non-decisions in that half.

 

[outabounds]

Chill out pal
