With the Bulldogs it's not just about the ones they get, but about the ones the other team doesn't.

They got twenty free kicks in the 2016 Grand Final. Not that bad really.

Til you see that Sydney received eight. Eight. An average of two a quarter. Just lol.

Lol that game was so bad. Pretty sure the Swans only had 4 frees to 3/4 time.

Also as much as I have contempt for Essendon fans, at least they hung around to watch the medal and boo instead of immediately skulking away. They give a s**t, even if they do support a mob of druggie cheats.

Crowds that cheer a lot also boo a lot - better the booing than universal silence regardless of the game.

For me booing is the right side of the white line that, when crossed, leads to dumb soccer s**t like throwing flares and rioting

That’s the other thing. We’ve made huge in-roads into better educating fans on racism, homophobia, sexism, violence and OTT-language.

A groundswell to elevate uncouth behaviours to that level of contraband suggests perspective is being lost.

I think they had none at all in the second quarter, which they kicked six goals in and won.

I don't have the impression that Pittard left of his own accord. Didn't we decide to part ways with him? I think he's been a professional and good clubman for us. I can't boo him unless he's lining up to kick a winning goal, and even then I'd be too busy seething at Ken.

Same here

It was a 50/50 play on tussle but in the replay it appeared Langdon at the final second had his arm across his opponents chest trapping the opponent from raising his arms for the marking attempt. Maybe that's what the umpire saw. I would've called play on.

Langdon and Baguley (spelling?) were like 2 octopi mating but there was no arm grab or jumper grab I could see. I absolutely agree it was play on. It comes back to the fact umpires should rule on what they clearly see, not what they think might have happened. And in front of goal in a match that could have been lost because of the call it was pretty unprofessional. FWIW even if it had been play on I'm pretty sure Essendon were about to get at least a point.

They may have thought an Essendon player would win. Is it only a winning team player who gets it, like the Norm Smith?

Having seen it a few times thanks to Whateley treating it like the Zapruder film, the booing starts a split-second after the Collingwood fans roar.

I’d say it was simmering outrage and bitterness at the events of the last minute and the result spilling over to counter Pies joy.

Start from 1:20 or so.

If you want to be hated in Seattle, just tell them the Sonics leaving was a good thing.

 

[StrappingTape]

Go back and have a read of the reaction when Robbie Gray was booed after the second Showdown last year. Not many Port supporters approved of that. It's classless garbage.

My point is it's happened at every one when the home team loses and the other team gets the medal.. media haven't cared til suddenly booing is a huge issue. Nothings changed with the booing since I can remember watching and going to the footy and no one cares except w***ers like Whately. He's quickly becoming the new Tim Lane as the national derp football expert.

You’d see this every time you closed your eyes.

is he legit stupid!!!.

 

[DaTBird187]

Agreed. Save the booing for Polec but spare a Bronx cheer for when Pittard finally hits a Port player on the chest.

Or are Bronx cheers under the microscope too?

Only allowed if you are from the Bronx. If not you're racist.

At least Seattle's getting an upgrade from NBA to NHL

Yep basketball sucks.

Boo me cnuts I’d love it!

 

[Waspy79]

Imagine the outrage if Pendlebury was a Muslim female.

And they’ll always have those six days of Westbrook!

Seattle fans totally thought it was Shawn Kemp and Gary Payton all over again.

Psych!!

I don't remember nor watched each of the ANZAC Day clashes to be sure but I wouldn't think so.

I think Buckley won a Norm Smith against Brisbane in the GF.

It was just awful. I’d never wish injury on a player but part of me wanted Hannebery to suffer a compound fracture from that slide just to emphasise the farce on display.

 

[Coobk001]

This didn't age well. Game low for disposals lol.

Lol, true but I wasn't really referring to this game. More just saying it in general.

 

[OneGreatClub]

Did anyone watch Wingard on Marngrook tonight?

From a grassy knoll?

Yeah but I'm pretty confident it was his reaction to that in 2003 that saw the awarding changed so that only the best player from the winning team gets it now.
