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

[JM#1]

I just don’t understand how there was any incorrect umpiring calls that directly cost Essendon goals for people on here to say they were robbed. Pies were the better side. As I said earlier, umpiring was horrendous both ways tbf.

That's what I keep saying. Yes the umpires made terrible calls. Collingwood were the only team to suffer goals from it.

 

[Red Black and Blue]

Let’s not forget the sling tackle that took Ridley out of the game for 10 mins with a head knock.

 

[Ambrosia]

I also saw them. mxett neither if them would’ve resulted in a shot on goal for him. Both were about 70-80 out.

One happened at the top of the goal square. Before Stringer kicked a point

Because Cox and Moore can't kick

No two were inside 30 metres, a third from Grundy was 65 out.

 

[mxett]

Maybe that’s the case, although not sure how you can be so clear on it, but Pendlebury got booed as he walked up, he had to stop speaking-the boos were drowning him out. So that looks like they are angry at him. And so good on Buckley for defending his player.

As Eddie said, by that stage Essendon fans were so angry they were booing everything. If sections of the crowd were booing Pendles they should hang their heads. He's a champ, a fair player, and seems like a good bloke. He deserved the medal too

Must’ve been a third one. I saw two but they were both on a flank about 20 out from the 50.

There were definitely three although I'd say one of the two further from the goal may have been the correct call.

But don’t they cancel out the extremely dubious calls in Baguley and Guelfi’s favour which resulted in two goals directly from frees?

I think we all agree the umpiring was horrendous both ways, but I don’t think they were the reason Collingwood won and Essendon lost like the general theme seems to be amongst the trolls on here.

nah, he copped one in the forward 50 from memory. The one's in the forward line would have been handy too given he's very good at hitting up leads. Anyway, no guarantee the result would have been different. It's just very frustrating to watch howler after howler when you team is busting a gut to get back into the contest

 

[Sterge]

Good logic.

Sure you did mate, doesn’t sound like you’re holding a grudge at all.

The worst part of his one good game being against us is now you can't rightly mention he's no good without moronic pies supporters going on about being salty or something equally as dumb.

The original post was about Essendon getting 4 goals from frees to the pies zero

My point was if cox wasn't garbage the pies would have goals from frees. Where in that did i call him garbage for getting the free to begin with? Kicks directly in front that he sprayed, claiming Essendon got the rub just because they were more accurate from their frees is super dumb.

 

[JM#1]

Right, so NO harm done on the scoreboard.

 

[PieLebo87]

Both the ones I saw should’ve been called a free. I’ll call it out.

no, we can only blame ourselves for the loss. Shiel kicks a goal in the last or even hits a target and we are a chance

 

[HTT]

Umpiring definitely didn't help Essendon in the last. But I didn't watch the first 3, might've evened out.
But more than anything else the bombers shot themselves in the foot. They were playing like it was the last play with 6min to go!

 

[Ambrosia]

Right, so NO harm done on the scoreboard.

The decisions are just as bad though.

I thought Baguley's free was probably there. They were both wrestling but the wrestle ended up getting Baguley high. He may have milked it, but no more than Pendles and his flop

 

[Vankri]

In all instances bar one he went to ground / dropped the knees, so it’s rightfully play on.

Fair enough if tippa uses his short height to get out of tackles by going under them but if the tackler gets his head then it shouldn’t be penalised.

We're shit at goal kicking so the dumb free kicks don't count.......

Disagree completely. On one of them he stepped a bloke then got coat hangered.

Yes I said all bar one. Some supporter in here said Tippa should have got five head high free kicks.

 

[CaptainHowdy87]

I was actually listening to the game on the radio so I didn't see the Stephenson HTB everyone's howling about. I just watched the last 2 mins of the game on Twitter and he had absolutely NO prior opportunity. Guelfi grabbed his arm as soon as he took possession. It wasn't the least bit contentious.

The main board on BigFooty is the absolute shits. 90% of people are either trolling or don't know the rules of the game.

 

[Sweeetleftfoot]

Just ignore the fact baguley grabbed langdons jumper first ?

 

[marcus1232]

Umpires don’t decide games of football.
Dylan shiels deplorable disposal by foot.
Giving Collingwood a 4 goal head start by leaking worse than a St.kilda 2018 defence that’s what costs games of football

I got your point, the use of the term 'garbage' is what I took exception to. If missing a couple of easy shots is all it takes for a player to be labelled as such then **** me, there have been countless garbage players who have played and have won premierships, games off their own boot, Brownlow's, B&F's, etc. I won't ask you what your opinion of Richo was in his heyday because he mnissed his fair share of easy shots so clearly he was absolute trash, right mate?
