I'd have Reid as well.Xavier f*n O'Neill, for one.
At least he'd jump on a landmine for the club.
Petro thinks tackle is something you use for fishing.

You're kidding yourself if you think that had an impact.
Everyone was writing off Collingwood before any of the "dirty club" stuff was mentioned.
They were always going to be up for fight.
Bottom line is we let Cox of the chain early and we had 3 genuine
Playing for us.
Id say charlie camerons little slip of the tongue a day earlier was more motivation for the pies than a throw away sarcastic comment by simmo.It was a big thing for them. They mentioned it in every single presser and media interview all week.
Not saying it was the difference, but it was certainly a motivating factor for them, it was a talking point before the from Eddie down, and both Pendles and Bucks brought it up after the game as well.
I think the difference, at least from my point of view, is that when the margin is one point all those things have effectively just decided the outcome of the game. In a game with a 15 point margin it’s different as a lot needs to happen for that result to be reversed. Every time it looked like we’d get a run on and pull away, nope, bullshit free kick leading to another Collingwood inside 50 and majority of the time a goal. We weren’t great sure, but we were good enough to win that game despite Collingwood playing out of our skins. Nothing like the Bulldogs game where we got reamed but deserved the loss anyway. This one we were definitely better than them despite not actually playing at our best, we just lacked the finishing touch.. as has been the theme all year.Every team that loses feels this exact same way.
Richmond feel like they got reamed by umps on Friday (they didn't).
One if those misses was the easiest 50m ever not paid against Adams right on HT, so don't say the umps had no influence. Yes, we also contributed greatly to our own demise.Give it up on the umps, we lost that, JK 3 goals 4 and two of those were set shots, which he should kick, we went missing far to much during the game and the first quarter when we needed them the mids were invisible and we let Cox kick 3 easy goals from poor work from Barrass.

It wasn't a soda, he ended up kicking it from 50 instead of the goal square. The fact we're so upset about says everything about JK's expectations as he's been nailing them for years. The average player in the league would be 50/50 from there.So you don't think JK could kick that goal without a 50, if that is the case then he should retire.

Are you kidding. It is one thing for a team not to maximise their chances, and it is another thing for umpiring to swing so many crucial moments. Yes, our midfield should have been better, yes JK missed opportunities he should not have missed, and Ainsworth and ah Chee’s out on the full proved crucial. Barass was terrible all night.
That does not give the umpires a pass mark. Blatant holding the ball at half forward for pies not called. Goal to pies. Gov deliberate. Goal pies. Similar thing happens multiple times after that, no call. Blocking on Shuey when darling marks, goal pies. Blocking at every contest unnoticed, but most noticeably in last quarter when when Ryan taken out on the fifty. Somehow picked it out as a free kick to the pies at the most crucial of times, and even then marginal by the standards of the crap they don’t call.
Your first post above was irritating, but your second post is bullshit. Anyone who watched that game and does not think the umps had a massive influence on the outcome has their head up their arse. We should have won but didn’t. Our own players are to blame, but so are the umps. Fix was in early, you just didn’t see it. And for a private investigator, I would have thought you would have considered all the evidence.
