If Hird took a dive head first into Collingwood players and milked a free like Pendlebury did in that 4th qtr and then won the Anzac Day medal, which is meant to be awarded to the player that best exemplifies the Anzac spirit (skill, courage, self-sacrifice, teamwork and fair play) I too would boo my head off. What Pendlebury did was disgraceful for any captain to do in my view. Him and Selwood do these dives very often unfortunately and it’s not fair play, it’s not in the Anzac spirit and deserves to be called out in one way or another.
Looks like you’ve posted from your wrong account buddy. KD would be proud.

Why is this a rumour? It happened.

Booing in game against umps bad decisions, an opposition player who has done a cheap shot or a player who has left your club and you play them the next time. All fine. Booing during a presentation is pretty ordinary

But in all honesty I thought this booing was directed at umpires and not at Pendles. He is a champion. They just wanted to boo.
This is fine deflection from dreadful decisions against Ess from Umpires.Once again Pies and Pendles morph into victims.It is part of their DNA.But of couse Pies fans would never boo a champ. Ask Nicky Winmar.

At least we just boo and leave it at that and the emotion of the game at the ground once we leave it, not like some of your antisocial supporters going around bashing people

So those two goals you were gifted for non frees were all part of the rigging process?

Try 3, Tip throws to Daniher, snaps a goal, Baguely v Langdon was a pretty soft free considering all the other stuff that was let go in the 4th, the umps seemed to decide to put the whistle away, Grundy in the back to Guelfi in the 2nd qtr was extremely soft as well. All 3 resulted in goals.

Crisp no call ended up in DeGoey kicking to an Ess player, Stephenson incorrect disposal leading to Brown free kick in final minute resulted in a behind.

So sum of bad calls against Essendon is 1pt, bad calls against us is somewhere between 6-18pts. Rigged!!!!

Ess kicked 2 goals in the 4th qtr, one from a free kick and one from a throw. Yeah the umps were out to get you.

Booing is a nice distraction from Shiels terrible kicking, Danihers bonehead kick bombing to the centre circle for DeGoey to intercept.

2 goals by Stringer from the boundary and a 60m from Daniher, 2 from 50/50 free kicks and one from a throw. Thats 6 of their 10 goals, hardly a dominant display of football when you rely on those circumstances for goals. But somehow they were robbed

What was their reason for booing Pendlebury?

He's not a player that routinely destroys opposition fans like Ablett or Danger. I don't see why anyone would hate him.
You what?

I don't think you even football if you think he doesn't open up opposition teams.
