2019 non-freo nonchalance (aka discussion)

[westy1]

Umpires were bad but
Go Buckley
Shame on anyone who boos a champion

 

[FreoRicci]

He's tanking to give Freo a better price when we trade for him!

Wouldn’t want him. What’s good about him? Oh the outside he’s slow. Cerra will be going inside in a year or two anyway

 

[Taylor]

So you can legally dispose of the ball now with only one free arm?

If you kick it, it's fine

 

[electricfeel]

Bucks silenced the crowd well.

Umpiring was shit and Essendon were stiff. I'd be pissed too.

However...not once did Essendon actually lead the game. A better start and less hack kicks from Shiel and maybe they would've won the game.

Exactly. First quarter was well underdone. Only 6 pts. Gotta play 4 quarters

 

[Nodgey]

Was shit umpiring all game. Essendon were also gifted a goal from a pathetic free.

Exactly. They were screwed over with that last call not paid but I can assure you that they got given a couple absolute gifts

 

[Scham]

Can anyone see either of these teams featuring deep into finals this year?

Collingwood yes. Hell apart from Geelong, who’s even top 4 atm? St Kilda are top. Anything can happen this season.

Two goals actually. Non-existent frees against Grundy on Guelfi, and Langdon on Baguley. Both direct shots at goal and converted.

Lots of shocking non-calls in the Pies favour, but they were a long way from goal and unlikely to have changed the result based on how the game was played and how hard it was to create a scoring play.

 

[DMan 11]

Haven’t watched any of Essendon this year but today (IMO) Shiel is really stinking it up...
Fumbles, missed targets, dropped marks.
Overpaid much ??

Didn't we boo Judd?

Which in honestly was pretty damn funny.

Nah booed the decision. In a 5 point loss, Judd somehow got it. When Josh Carr was better

 

[Nodgey]

Happy to admit I booed Judd as well as the shit decision to give it to him.

I've been counting the number of throws ' allowed ' this year and it currently stands at 1237 clear throws and almost double the amount of ' dubious ' disposals across the entire competition , maybe one day one of the 36 different footy shows around these days might like to mention the fact that one of the foundation rules the game is built on has been surreptitiously changed without a peep from anyone

A legal disposal is no longer a handball but now it is a handball motion

Sh*ts me to tears

You're going to see a lot of them on Saturday night.

Said it during the trade period and I'll say it again, Shiel is overrated. Disregard what the media have been saying all year, his kicking has been shit and his overall quality has been average this season.

you may hav, i didn't

 

[E Shed]

I didn't either. I'm with Bucks on this, you don't boo champions. He didn't pick himself for the medal.

How about Coniglio? Disposal also not great.

I booed Judd every game after including watching on tv

 

[mike91]

I think he makes up for it in other areas, like the ability to heavily impact a game playing forward. People know Cogs disposal isn't elite, but Shiel gets spoken about like he's unbelievably good. Mundy and Walters are both better and reliable users of the ball, easily.

How about Coniglio? Disposal also not great.

I didn't either. I'm with Bucks on this, you don't boo champions. He didn't pick himself for the medal.

I did for a millisecond before I gathered myself, I liked how Bucks corrected himself to you don’t boo fullstop. My preferred option.

 

[Deanismyhero]

Not against booing of the Pantomime villain ie Gaff , Ablett last weekend.

But yesterday's was disgraceful and timing was very poor..
