Free kicks 14-17 and Dons were robbed? Lol. Never change Main Board.

If Essendon players kept their feet when it mattered they might have had the 4 points.

Another one who lacks the understanding that a free kick count means nothing without context.

It was about the fees that werent paid to the Bombers in critical, game defining moments.

 

[greatwhiteshark]

From a neutral the umps were shocking, did it cost the bombers the game???
The two head not paid to Tippenwoode were disgraceful decisions. Auskick umpires know they are free kicks.

 

[Sully111]

When the players from both sides stop on multiple occasions for free kicks and not paid you know something is broke with the umpiring. HTB cut from the rule book randomly.

I dont agree with essendon supporters booing through the medal ceremony though, and big respect for bucks calling it out.

I agree will everything you say.

Buckley is a class act.

 

[ziad]

Was Ablett playing I missed him. What a horrible stadium i would take children there.

 

[The Falcon Strike]

How is this travesty west coast’s fault?

That’s all I want to know

 

[Gaben]

Please, having one arm pinned has been deemed as having prior opportunity for years. If you have an arm pinned, you still have an opportunity to get a kick away.

Bull. If you grab the ball and instantly get one arm pinned, you aren't required to get rid of it correctly, you had no prior to be tackled.
Bigfooty worries me sometimes

 

[ItsGameTime]

The booing was aimed at the umps and rightfully so

Nope. Umpires left the field by then. Clearly aimed at the player.

 

[masai]

Game won by the maggots

Hocking if you want people to not abuse the umpires maybe hire some good ones

Let’s be fair, the umpiring was crap, but the Dons failed to deliver in the first half.

They were always playing catch up footy.

Referring to the free kick count- infinite IQ logic.

 

[Hirsty23]

Stringer had an incredibly obvious HTB that wasn’t called in the fourth quarter. The umpires just stopped calling it, I don’t think it was favouritism one way or another.

Agree that was an absymal call, I said the umpiring was amateur not that there was favouritism. The fact that they stopped calling it when it was so blatantly obvious wasn't good enough.

I couldnt care who won it just spoilt the contest as a spectator.

 

[brendan84]

The slow start obviously cost us in the end.

Pendlebury is one of my favourite players, but he did throw himself to the ground for a free kick. Lost a bit of respect for him when he did that. The booing would be a combination of that and frustration from getting absolutely r*ped by the umpires. It is what it is

 

[ossie_21]

Pendlebury has won a premiership

Ease up on him, Carlton probably have no ****ing idea what a premiership is these days

 

[Underdog]

they were protests about the umpiring, nothing personal against Pendles. Buckley was an idiot to suggest so much

The bloke was trying to give an acceptance speech. Time and place...that wasn't it.

Yet if you read my initial post, I gave a clear example where a player was twice in one game pinged despite not having prior. This is why people have the shits. Fro game to game, the decisions are completely different. The league is ******.

Why would I care about other games that were incorrectly officiated?

 

[Coldacre]

Essendon got 4 goals from free kicks. We got 0.

you were caught holding the ball about 12 times. we got 0

 

[Scotland]

Eddie in damage control.

 

[What else we can do]

Should take Anzac day off the Bombers after that display from the supporters. No respect.

Haha... may I ask who should Collingwood play then?

 

[Blue1980]

Eddie being reasonable re the booing, he knows they can’t be taking the moral high ground on booing matters.

I still find him a smarmy prick mind you

 

[Macpotata]

Why did the Bombers on 3 occasions late on in the game try to play on with hand ball? They ****ed it up every time. Had they shown more composure and poise under pressure they would have taken the four points. That being said, the umpiring was ****ing atrocious. The game - bloody marvellous. The Dons with their 3 straight goals to end the first half made it a cracking and intriguing affair after it looked like it was going to be a blow out bore fest. The 2nd half was a pearler and one to remember, much like the historic first one in 95 and one's after that in 2009 where Zaharakis nailed the winner and the 1 point win to the Pies in 2012.


Dons you played good and have a 1993 Baby Bombers feel about you. I've picked the Pies from day dot for this years Prem and will continue to do so. But I have Essendon along with the Cats as teams who could play alongside them in the GF, and possibly beat them.

Dons could roll us next week. Good game by both today.

 

[Cemos]

Lmao leave it up to a bunch of supposedly grown men to get themselves worked up over people choosing to boo at a game of football. This is a ****ing entertainment product at the end of the day, not an actual Anzac ceremony.

Snowflakes.

Good post! First qtr was the difference simple as that.

 

[Red Black and Blue]

Right on you idiot. Essendon fans have no beef with Pendlebury, hasn’t been dirty today or even against us.

 

[TennisPlayerAndy]

The amount of air time 'booing' gets is completely ridiculous.
