wow any pies fan who thinks they don't get a ride every week are kidding themselves. Umps got them home.

If we take out goals from direct umpiring decisions, we win by 16 points. Baguley and Guelfi gifted goals.

Agree that umpiring was horrendous both ways today though.

Were you in the bathroom when he got the world's worst holding free kick 15m out from goal?

Even Richard lounder played one good game ;)
Nah I saw it mate. So to clarify, all it takes for a player to be labelled ‘garbage’ in your book is for said player to get a questionable free kick? Geez, I’d hate to hear your opinion of Rance...

As a Carlton supporter, I couldn’t care less about who won the game or the argument about who benefitted from the umpiring.

What I do care about is how bad the standard of umpiring is becoming.

The booing at the end was caused by the umpiring, on a great day like today where the crowd started off in a very respectful mood because of the Anzac occasion, the disgraceful umpiring throughout the entire game caused emotions to overcome the respect of the occasion.

I’m telling you guys, if the AFl don’t fix the umpiring, one day a riot will break out after a game just from sheer anger.

Even so if Ablett can be booed why not Pendlebury
Ablett or any player booed during a game is fine really.

But when a player is receiving an ANZAC day medal and says thanks to the crowd only to be loudly booed it's a bit different. What did Pendlebury do wrong?

weird seeing tiges fans in here ripping on the pies fans, didn't you flogs win a flag 2 years ago and are still playing good footy? not sure why you'd be sticking the boot in... enjoy the success and stop letting the pies live rent free in your heads.

dons played fantastic footy and are a real surprise packet thus far, if i was a supporter i'd be loving the progress regardless of the outcome of today. But in saying that, thumbs down to the flogs booing during the speech; its anzac day you spastics have some humility

My point exactly....if they are so called 'Champion' players, they should be able to win the ball in their own right, not constantly 'play' for the free!
Pendlebury wins plenty of the ball in his own right, come on now. He's a gun player.

Im all for letting the game flow and not blowing tiggys but fmd the umps have completely swallowed the wistle..
they were protests about the umpiring, nothing personal against Pendles. Buckley was an idiot to suggest so much
Rubbish. Pendals was speaking, he thanked the crowd and still they booed. Embarrasing behaviour and good on Bucks for calling it out.

Hopefully something will now be done re. umpiring Collingwood games- some of the more surreal moments I've seen during a game. Just refused to award HTBs against the pies.

Can't believe I'm saying this but that was a brave performance by the Bombers. Not sure if there is a template there as to how to unstitch the Pies when they are flying. Hope Dimma and co. are watching the replay closely.

Thumbs down to booing and then you say spastics?

The tippa throw to joe was something else.

But why penalise Essendon because they were more accurate from their free kicks?

You're right, and I'm not denying he's a good player, but when he does stuff like that, (and let's face it, he does it a lot!), it's ugly!

My point is, he is good enough to win it without playing for the free, so why do it! It's the same as diving imo!

As usual you completly missed the point.

The original post was that Essendon had 4 goals from frees to the pies zero, ya'll got free kicks just garbage blokes shanked them.

I hope you can see this without resorting to "Lol remember that one game he played against you"

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.

You need prior opportunity before you get called holding the ball. Why do so many people on here, Bigfooty being a congregation of the most passionate of AFL fans, not know this?! That Stephenson incident is not holding the ball, he didn't have prior.
"But the crowd called for it so it's gotta be ball!"

Pendles speech was like 5 mins after the game ended and the boos just continued and even got louder when he gave his speech.
Use common sense, who are the supporters angry at? Is it the other team who are simply playing to win or the umpires who diluted the evenness of the contest. Come on mate it’s not that hard to understand.

Seems Essendon fans were upset peddles led with the head and got a soft free whilst tippa tried theee times got nothing
