Am I the only one that thought the umpiring was atrociously poor in general that I didn’t really see it benefiting the pies that much? Free kick differential of 3 in favour of the Pies but the bombers got 4 goals directly from free kicks. Players should always play to the whistle and not stop. That last one to Brown he has one arm pinned but he still whilst he is on deck he gets a little boot to it, Stringer did that multiple times throughout the day. Collingwoods set shot goal kicking is almost as bad as ours.

Crisp handballed it away, and Stevenson got a boot to it. Play on.

Exactly, players were getting heaps of time all game and disposing of it late like that.

Self respecting North supporters shouldn't watch the ANZAC day match.

It is a symbol of everything wrong with the game.

He had a lot of time to get that to his foot

 

[Gasometer]

Still get annoyed when I see Green Bucks for the filth.

Oh yeh tell me about it...we could do with his Cat Head

Standing fixture based on marketing manufacturing a rivalry.

It is plastic.

Hang a picture on your walls of the moment where every player stopped moving before the whistle was even blown because it sums it all up.

Players are pre-programmed into bullshit frees.

So you are against potentially 20 years of playing * on Good Friday?

Given the current set up no.

However I am for a randomized draw no standing fixtures and getting the sport back to being a sport.

However none of that will happen because money.

Sounds like it was an entertaining game. Low scoring though. Didn’t think it was possible hence new rules. So people can stick with a game if there isn’t a goal a minute?

What’s all the booing about?

How will you get a randomised Draw with 18 teams playing 23 Rounds?

And sadly, that ‘money’ has kept clubs like us alive since the first mega media rights deal

* sooking over Umpires
* sooking over possible ‘diving’
* sooking because they’re sooks

 

[koshari]

* were prolly a bit stiff in the end,

So Esserdern moaning about crook umpiring. Excellent.

The only down side is Collingwood won.

Could have been worse...could have been Pies v Carltank

Anyway I watched first q and last 15 minutes which is the most of a Non North game in 5 Rounds

The umpiring. It was horrible. Collingwood deserved the win and are the better team at the minute no question but my word, the umpiring was breathtaking at times.

Kudos to Buckley for calling out the * dud's booing Pendlebury

Bruce loved him! Meanwhile he called about 14 touches by Varcoe as "Varcoe has been quiet today" before letting that go.

Nafe and Heddie must have blanked the Vic Park days from memory.

It was Demetriou's fault!

Cheer up, Cox has a sore knee, and my multi is alive.
