In the end you can argue when it is just one point win one team or another has always been a bit lucky, and hell we would have had to clear the D50 from the kick out anyway. Still, looks like Collingwood got a touch lucky.

Clutching at straws there mate.

 

[Lance Uppercut]

NO!!!!

Beaten fair and square by the better team on the day.

End of story. No excuses.

 

[Astro Bomber]

Collingwood did play better for most of the game. Our mids just didnt come to the party today. No point in dwelling on what could have been.

Clutching at straws there mate.

This. Game is done and dusted

 

[lock33]

of all the decisions to call robbed on.. youre kidding arent ya?

 

[mufassa]

Got to love Essendon supporters - win the free kick count 17-10 and they still want to complain about the umps.

 

[Knight Ryders]

Thought the Sacks goal that was dismissed was a goal, so...

 

[Nick Lions]

It was a goal. Even if it wasn't, Collingwood were probably unlucky to not have a goal awarded earlier, after a video review.

 

[Bennett.]

true, but still looks interesting

 

[Bluelegs]

You can't tell from the s**t quality of that video anyway.

 

[damochandler]

nuh disposal efficiency at time cost the bombers

 

[Timmy from Thomastown]

A fingertip in it if it happened at all. The Dane Swan kicking in danger was a far more obvious error on a day where the umpires didnt do much wrong at all.

As many gracious Essendon supporters have already acknowledged, Collingwood were the better team on the day.

 

[Ari]

No. Was a great exhibition by two teams who did their jumpers proud today.

Pies were the better team for the first three quarters.... Essendon the fourth.

No arguements here. The better team won on the day in what was a thriller at a packed G.

 

[St Edward]

great thred given that if we'd lost all everyone would be talking about is the "inconclusive" goals taken off Goldsack. It was the same goal umpire raised the white flag in both. I mean if a goal umpire cant tell if a trickling grubber hit the post or not he needs to be moved on.

 

[Plugger35]

Hand of god mkII? The ball does seem to change trajectory and spin.

The non out of bounds call when Jetta slapped it back in to play was more controversial imo. Would like to see a slow mo replay of that or a still shot.

 

[damochandler]

just need more cameras that's for sure

 

[RearNaked]

i think that he touched it with his hand the last goal shouldn't of been a goal BUT the other one that went to review was a goal so it doesn't matter BUT what is the point of the video review when the **** it up anyway ?

was a goal, get over it.

 

[jimmy35]

Meh. Wouldn't have thought so, the better team won.

 

[Shade]

No.

[Illinois Nazi]

I'd have thought the shonky "advantage" call at the end cost them if anything.

 

[Refried Noodle]

I see The Age has come around to that Newton's law of universal gravitation thing...
