Collingwood vs Essendon

[Milanista28]

Cololington. Woooohooo.

Umpires tried so hard to get you over the line hahahaha and you still lost.

COLOLINGTON!

 

[Great8]

You missed the two laughable deliberates in the last quarter that gifted you goals, did you?

We won nearly every stat on the ground but got crucified in the free department.

COLOLINGTON!

You're kidding right?

 

[Great8]

It was poetic. The s**t was flying from all directions from those 4 idiotic spuds, most of it just happened to land on Essendon.

Let's not cheapen how awful that display of umpiring was by focusing on the fact that Essendon copped it far, far worse, if you have your black and white glass eye on, there was still plenty to be bemused and infuriated by.

Agreed they were terrible all day, none should get a finals gig

 

[Abomination]

Why the hell didn't I change my tip to the Bombers after I lost the comp lead... I'm so unbelievably annoyed right now.

 

[Great8]

Meaningless dead rubber...so obviously essendon went hammer and tongs. Their marketing department breathed a sigh of relief. The supporter base is so delusional they will bombard the essendon board with top 4 expectations for 2016 and buy memberships in record numbers.

Whoever comes in to coach them will have to carry the burden of this famous win. Shame on you collingwood for trolling.

Much like Richmond's marketing department every year hey?
Should probably be worrying about your own team next week than two sides going on mad monday tomorrow

Essendon supporters seem to forget that

Essendon supporters seem to forget that

Except they were both correct calls

 

[SuperSub17]

Lol you could argue the Pendlebury one but the Kennedy one was an absolute disgrace. Hemmed up against the line and the kick missed his teammate by half a metre.

Established - you have no idea.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Essendon are relieved Melbourne won that's for sure

absolutely. Disgraceful all around.

I did have to laugh though, because the only other time I've ever seen a player get a free for his own team-mate hitting him high was against us, when playing the Swans!!

Anzac Day: 88,395

that's a pretty impressive turn out considering how the season's gone for these two clubs.

And what a show in the end, couldnt look away even knowing there was nothing riding on it.

 

[fishardansin]

It seems like the only people saying this have Essendon under their name, however.

Are you serial? Pies got a massive ride all day. Crappy frees and 50s left right and centre while different set of rules the other way. Seems like Collingwood players can drop the ball in a tackle.

Essendon won contested and uncontested possession, clearances and tackles. That indicates they were first at the ball all day, which also normally translates to leading free kick count. Pies won that by 20-29. You got a ride.

 

[rumply]

Blues win the wooden spoon one day, Dons beat the Pies the next - season wasn't a total writeoff

 

[Mr Magic]

Let's get serious the Pies seemingly did their best efforts to have a result.

Adams effort on the boundary was amazing pushed off the ball for a Bomber goal, pendlebury's missed goal was a terrific shank and the goal opportunities for the Bombers at theend really was priceless!

 

[Halftimehero]

Lol you could argue the Pendlebury one but the Kennedy one was an absolute disgrace. Hemmed up against the line and the kick missed his teammate by half a metre.

Established - you have no idea.

So how would you explain the Hooker mark that wasn't paid? Both teams had there chances, the better team won on the day.

 

[Milanista28]

You're kidding right?

Lol if you think otherwise bro.

 

[rocket18]

They guessed down the other end as well when Hooker clearly marked it dead in front 30 out. It swings both ways.

No doubt, the umpiring standard has dropped again this year, something needs to be done.

As a neutral with nothing on the game i was frustrated with how the game was umpired. Would have been pulling my hair out if my side was playing.

Why complain? If Pies got the result they wanted?

 

[Mr Magic]

So Essendon had nothing to lose for and the Piesdid?

 

[SuperSub17]

Yes on replay that was clearly a mark, I don't think anybody would blame the umpire though as it was one of those ones that deflected upwards off his arms from close to the ground.

Umpiring was very average all day I thought, both ways - and has been in most games lately. We certainly did get some poor ones too.

 

[Mr Magic]

And Hooker took a leimate chest mark 30m out that wasnt paid. Collingwood had the best of the decisions today

Pies seem annoyed by that as well as Danihers miss, Edwards miss.

Boy they could have been relieved Hocking slotted it.

So would of those laying at 1.3 but then again they would have traded out well before

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Pick 4 will do more good for Essendon. Seeing as though the Pies are trading their first, a win or loss was largely irrelevant to them although I expected Collingwood to win
