Autopsy AFL 2026 Round 1 - Pies v Crows Sat March 14th 7:35pm AEDT (MCG)

[Lunchtime]

Stand rule is an absolute f***ing joke

You can thank Hocking for that rule.

 

[Coach_Required]

David King never cares about umpiring decisions unless its Collingwood.

Did this crap last year and doing it again.

Just learn the rules ffs.

Always does the grand standing about it being in the rules but as soon as the rules swing away from the result he was hoping for he says it impacts the game.

lol

 

[Count_Zero]

Pies fans want to complain about a few 50m penalty, i would be looking at the first quarter score 0.1 as a reason why you lost.

 

[Cyclops]

Backing the Crows in for this one.
They are in for a big year and this will kick it off... Adelaide- 13p

Lotto numbers pls

 

[1972championsofaust]

Crows…
Definitely the better team today!
Well deserved.

Best part though…
Dermy ,calling Nick Daicos selfish and saying the Pies have to learn the rules on when umpires say stand the player can’t just run backwards to defend!

He’s a moron. He’s actually saying the umpire was right but wants the rule changed.
Until next week when it’s undisciplined by the team you gets pinned

 

[Count_Zero]

Now tell us the 50m penalty count and how many of those resulted in goals.

And after the first time Crows took a quick 50, Pies were slow to figure out that was going to happen again. How did Fogarty get 5m away from his defender?

 

[Home Alone]

Actually they were because NEITHER of them stood.

And if one of them did, Daicos would have been pinged for running through the protectef zone

 

[Xtreme]

Cripps is a very deserving winner. Best player in the league.

Cripps is a lazy one way runner. Do we need to see his lack of effort in not chasing down Nick Watson last year ?

 

[WetCrow1991]

Collingwood have lost 4 games in a row against non-Victorian teams at the MCG


R1 2026 vs Adelaide: lost by 14 points
PF 2025 vs Brisbane Lions: lost by 29 points
R22 2025 vs Brisbane Lions: lost by 27 points
R20 2025 vs Fremantle: lost by 1 point

That is very sad.

 

[matty lloyd the champ]

The last touch rule is an absolute blight on the game. I'd rather have umpires make judgement calls on deliberate out of bounds than have frees paid against players for an accidental toe poke at the footy.

 

[ABAB]

Stand rule is an absolute f***ing joke

The 50m was in our defensive 50, you guys had plenty of time to setup defensively inside 50m before the Walker kick.

 

[1972championsofaust]

Lions and Giants are nowhere near full strength at the moment. Crows would only be missing Keane and Curtin I think. Will be hard to beat. Away teams rarely win at AO, unless it's Pies or Hawks.

Rankine also missing the game!

 

[Rod Stroker]

Rankine also missing the game!

i was talking about next week

 

[Dee Train]

That bogus 50 to Tex killed our comeback.

Thanks umps

Collingwood supporters complaining about the umpires?

FMD. You can’t make this stuff up

 

[Worm4]

Cripps is a lazy one way runner. Do we need to see his lack of effort in not chasing down Nick Watson last year ?

Nick Watson has runaway from many players. Doesnt mean that those players are one way runners.
Cripps would be hawthorns best midfielder btw

 

[Go the Guts]

LOL - shit Coach. Didn’t you finish Top?
Just accept you were beaten by a better team - because these excuses are embarrassing.

Well **** you. We smacked you.

 

[Lavender Bushranger]

That forward line of Membrey, Elliott and Schultz is an enormous concern for Collingwood.

 

[Go the Guts]

That forward line of Membrey, Elliott and Schultz is an enormous concern for Collingwood.

They will be lucky to be bottom 4 this season. When Daicos goes to Tassie they will get the spoon.

 

[EBERT THE KING]

Pies aren't a serious operation with a key forward line up of Mcstay, Buller and Membrey.

Membrey 3 touches in 80% game time.

 

[tropicaltiger]

New cheat unlocked by the umpires this year - two magpies players near the mark = auto 50m penalty as both can’t stand or retreat.

Absolute cheating bastards. No wonder we can’t win a Brownlow, absolute shit stains

excellent description

 

[No SPIN]

Well **** you. We smacked you.

Smacked? LOL.
A 14 point win is never a “smacking”

 

[Lunchtime]

Well **** you. We smacked you.

Well if a 14 point win is by your definition a "smacking" I'd be interested to see what word you churn out when a winning margin is 42+ points...

 

[pjcrows]

Pies losing to a gassed half-injured midfield and debutant ruck is a concern for them.
