Jamie Elliot OOB clearly in the last and kicked a behind. Umps were deplorable both sides and crap calls were made all night. We always remember the last few non-decisions or incorrect calls don't we? [emoji848]

30-15 free kick count, definitely hard done by Sydney…

lol 15% increase applied there , they don't have to be equal

quit being a bitch better side won
 
Please enlighten me on every free kick paid for each side? Were they all correct?

There were at least 3 DOOB that were not correct and a clear missed 50m penalty to Collingwood that would have won them the game. There was also a shocking htb paid to Sydney that should have been a too high to Collingwood.

...and the rest of the free kicks? You have only mentioned a few. There is my point.

I guess that balances out Cox jumping over the mark for Blakey's kick at the top of the 50 or Heeney getting punched in the head after a mark which allowed Collingwood to flood back. 🤷‍♂️

This aside, weren't you rabidly defending the non-50 call when the pies played the Roos?

Interestingly, given Elliott only kicked a point, the non out of bounds call was actually detrimental to Collingwood...

McRae crying about the fifty not being paid.
Give me a spell.

Didn't say a thing when North got robbed when Collingwoods 2 players ran a mile over the mark in the last minutes of the game.
Absolute crazy talk to suggest that was a 50.

Are we seriously expecting a 200cm 100kg full back who has sprinted 100m to be able to stop on the mark immediately?

Umpire correctly called McCartin to move back, he starts to move back but then McStay plays on. Massive tick for how the umpire handled that.

That was from an umpiring howler for not paying the mark on time and the north player ran 5 meters off the mark. There's hundreds of examples to choose and you chose the dumbest.
 
Umpires are more than farcical. Last night they missed like 8 out of bounds, all up I reckon they missed 30+ htb and incorrect disposals and made a catalogue of other atrocious calls. We lost because we can't run out games and our midfield gets exposed as we are missing key elements there and trying to go to defensive to early. That doesn't dismiss the fact that the umpires bring whole new level to the word incompetent.

I enjoyed McRae calling them out for being hopeless, probably went a step to far in saying it would of been payed at the G.

I applaud McRae for saying it would have been paid at the " G".
It's now official, in that Collingwood get the MCG travel advantage, the MCG finals advantage and the MCG umpiring advantage.
 
There is a lot that can be said about the umpiring in the Collingwood -Sydney game, but the important thing is the "insufficient intent" rule of the week, not the 50 that wasn't paid.

It seems clear to me that the AFL was making another creeping increment as it moves towards a last touch rule. Once they get that, I suppose they will start on the players rolling over the boundary when tackled to avoid being called for holding the ball. This is certainly more deliberate than the actions that were called last night, but would lead to players refusing to go for the ball when it is too close to the boundary. Not something anyone would want, except perhaps the television men.

And then there is the defensive punch over the boundary in a marking contest. Clearly deliberate, but do we want it outlawed?

The rule guardians should be looking to address the crushing of the game through all the players clustering in a third of the ground, not through extra free kicks for out of bounds. Live matches at the ground look horrible, and even on television the constriction of the playing arena looks awful when the camera pans back. No doubt the AFL will deal with this by banning whole ground shots when it is not centre bounce time, rather than fixing the congestion.

I stopped watching tennis when McInroe was allowed to cheat his way to titles. I stopped watching cricket when it became hostage to the Indian gambling moguls. For me, football is at risk of following those two.
