AFL 2019 Round 6: Essendon v Collingwood, 3:20pm AEST MCG

[Alphonse_]

Hardly a convincing win by Collingwood, if it went even one minute longer, Essendon probably would have won.

Not going to discuss the umpiring, but that 2nd half and especially final quarter fade out by the Pies should be troubling for Buckley. It cost them big time in last year's grand final.

I wouldn't be too crestfallen if I was an Essendon fan, they held their own after that garbage first quarter (which did cost them the win in hindsight)

Pendles still a champion at his age, and I loved Joe D's game today.

I get you are going to follow this one through, but if that’s your line mate you have your facts wrong. Incorrect disposal is a free kick even with no prior so long as it doesn’t come out as a direct result of the tackle.

It did come out as a direct result of the tackle though? You literally just explained why it wasn't a free kick.
Bloke without prior get tackle and ball gets thrown out as a result of the tackle.
Happens 100 times a game

 

[Gaben]

The umpire would pay it as Holding the Ball, incorrect disposal.

He did not correctly dispose of it nor correctly attempt dispose of it.

after being given a reasonable opportunity to do so;

So prior opportunity?

Yeah essendon can be all happy with themselves but proof will be in the pudding in the coming weeks.

Same with any side which has an honorable loss

[Farm Boy]

Were they booing Pendles flopping for frees all the time?

 

[The King!]

 

[mxett]

Lots of booing when Pendles was near the microphone, none when Bucks approached.

I can see why you want to believe that, unfortunately I don't agree.

they had no reason to boo Pendles. Use your brain

 

[SuperSteele22]

Essendon lost because in the last two attacking plays they kicked it to the opposition who marked it. Think it was tippa and Shiels.

Can't win a close game if you turn it over in the middle constantly.

Good post.

I’ll admit they had me worried a few times when it looked like they were about to pounce but they just keep handing it back to us when the game was on the line.

It was probably the umpires fault though.

 

[Farm Boy]

The only good thing to come of this is that the spotlight will be pointed on why HTB is not being paid this year? Why allow so many throws.

It's been going on all season. Steve Hocking explain that one will you.

My thoughts quickly return back to Anzacs today - tomorrow will be a different story

Because the AFL want more flow into the game, which is understandable because the umpires blow the whistle every 2 seconds and ruin games.

 

[Meli]

If Pendlebury is such a 'Champion', then why does he need to duck into a pack of oppo players then play for the free (which is no different to diving!)?
Should be fined imo.

 

[Pulsedriver]

Epic game from both clubs. Thoroughly enjoyable game.

 

[Ambrosia]

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

Yeah I don't get it at all. Crowds are gonna boo who cares

 

[Gaben]

You're required to make a genuine attempt.

Shoveling over your shoulder is not a genuine attempt.

Now this is the line people who think that's holding the ball should be taking, not that he incorrectly disposed of it because it's the subjective/contentious point.

 

[Ry009]

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.

Ah yes, my mistake, game defining moments only occur in the last quarter and are only relevant for one particular team.

 

[stevie26]

From a complete neutral:
Langdon non mark: correct decision
Baguley free (and goal) for Langdon holding on: Both holding- play on
Stephenson: definite incorrect disposal and free to Bombers
Definite HTB against Collingwood player (forgotten who) when everyone stopped.

 

[The King!]

they had no reason to boo Pendles. Use your brain

Yet they kept booing while he was at the microphone

Just morons then?

Pay HTB and leave the marking contests alone - they're knitpicking those

 

[CaptainHowdy87]

No one booed Pendlebury Bucks, dont try and make him the victim

They werent booing Pendles you knob Buckley

LOLOL

They booed throughout his entire speech. Are you watching an edited broadcast or something?

 

[Red Black and Blue]

If this is true, why boo when Pendles was talking? The game is over, what happened was still disrespectful however you approach this.

Lots of Bombers fans bad losers.

Because Bucks started talking about Anzacs and that clearly isn’t a time to show your displeasure is it?

 

[Sub_Zero]

If Pendlebury is such a 'Champion', then why does he need to duck into a pack of oppo players then play for the free (which is no different to diving!)?

since when is bending over to pick up the ball from the ground ducking? you're a ****ing idiot

 

[boncer34]

Now this is the line people who think that's holding the ball should be taking, not that he incorrectly disposed of it because it's the subjective/contentious point.

So....you concede when you shovel the ball over your shoulder you havent made a genuine attempt and should be pinned?

And btw umpiring was poor but we gave you a 5 and a half goal win. That's what cost us.

 

[gingernuts]

what annoys me the most is that we get a good game of footy and all we talk about after the is the fooking pipspoor umpiring. Mclachlan out, ah fook it Hocking can go as well.

 

[mxett]

Absolutely. Essendon have themselves to blame, if they had capitalised on opportunities they could have won. However, the poor umpiring made it all the harder

 

[carloss]

Essendon as a whole should be absolutely embarrassed. Pathetic drug cheats, should've be cut from league when we had the chance

C'mon, we're all doing it..........
