A shiny gold medallion to anyone who convinces a collingwood supporter we got a raw deal by the umps yday.
Not sure why your bothering. It won't change the result any more it will change their mind.
There are days you have to play the opposition and the roll of the dice with the interpretations. Just didn't happen. We had plenty of opps and kicked points, or turned it over.
Much like the pies had plenty of opps to put us away but missed set shots.
Take the positive. Within a kick of one of the top 3 clubs in the comp.
The last month has levelled the ledger from the start of the season. Onto Geelong, Sydney & Freo. Good chance for 12pts. 20 into the break if we can account for Richmond and Carlton.

The couple where play stopped in last quarter, sure they were frustrating, but neither had any impact on the game at all. Both were HFF for Pies, both were decisions where Essendon fans (and players) expected holding the ball decisions, both were called play on, and in both instances Essendon ended up getting the ball back straight away anyway.
Cox getting his soft free against Hooker...he then missed!
The howlers didn’t impact the result, Collingwood only bloody kicked 3 goals in the second half....none the result of dodgy umpiring calls.
Essendon lost because they didn’t show up until 5 min before half time, and then had players who continued to make mistakes and turn the ball over when they had chances to take the game on.
But as always, much easier for fans to vent their frustration at the umpires than be critical of a guy like Tippa for spoiling Joe and turning the ball over when in the clear
