fair play for having the New Zealand national anthem pre-game

the letters N and Z appear in the acronym ANZAC too

To those above who appear unaware..tamika jayde is a facebook pisstake.

You're too good.

Apart from Pendles, all the Collingwood mids love kicking and hand balling to feet. Bit hard to get anything going when there's no fluid movement.

 

[Killer Power]

Cox a liability out there for the Pies. Like the look of Francis.

McDonald-Tipunguwuti has only had 3 disposals(all kicks) so far but he has been clever with them. The last one to set up that Fantasia goal was especially smart.
Changed my tip to the Dees just before last nights game and for a while it looked like it would come off. Didn't change this one(I have Essendon) and hopefully I will get this one.
Essendon are 2-2 with a percentage of 92.7, Fremantle are eighth with 3-2 and a percentage of 78.4 so if Essendon win they will be in the eight.
Joe Daniher looks good. 7 disposals, 3 marks and 1.2. And he would probably have had 2.1 if Mason Cox hadn't managed to get a finger on him as he kicked for goal.

I don't remember them previously playing the NZ anthem before the game, but I haven't really watched the pre game stuff for around a decade and it was a bit of a fluke I turned on the TV and caught it as I thought the game had already started.

Nauseating repeated commentary we don't need to hear more than once.( Will work out the collingwood players ones next quarter.)

McNiece - "has started well"
McGrath - "number one pick"
Kelly - "closing in on 300 games"
McDonald-Tipungwuti - "great pressure"

... the result was the quality of sporting journalism fell through the floor, and I'm not sure it has ever fully recovered.

You're not sure? From where I'm sitting when they hit bedrock they went for the jackhammer

 

[philreich]

Already looking forward to Collingwood v Carlton on Saturday week. Could it be decided by a penalty shoot out???

 

[PepeSilvia]

WTAF was that review?

 

[Alyx]

That was a goal...

 

[bomberclifford]

WTAF was that review?

Umpire calls touched.
Watch review.
Shows no touch.
Umpires call, touched.

Why even do it? Just let the umps call it.

 

[Hammer#8]

Hands in foreground, ball in background, fingers didn't extend back as you'd expect them to with contact.

A behind. Utterly pathetic.

 

[PepeSilvia]

Do we see what the reviewer sees? They only looked at one camera angle FFS.

 

[RussellEbertHandball]

so a Canadian and an American out there on the big stage. how many more will be playing AFL in 2027?

 

[PepeSilvia]

Collingwood are dreadful.

 

[Magus]

Bucks can't last much longer, surely.

Who's the Canadian?

 

[RussellEbertHandball]

His fist wont last - well not being in a plaster cast - the way he bashes it on the desk.

 

[RustyCage]

Collingwood also wit ISC but have the poo brown type black with their guernseys that we had with reebok

 

[OneGreatClub]

what a pathetic game

 

[Magus]

Sidebottom and Pendlebury looking sloppy and average. Varcoe about their only player that looks damaging, which is saying something.

 

[Peck]

Holy shit what a play by WHE

 

[mic59]

In the past these games have generally been very 50/50 with a few exceptions and maybe one team gets a lead but you can feel the other team likely to come back. This one just doesn't feel like that. Essendon were 20 points up, Collingwood kicked one to be only 14 points down but it just didn't seem they were likely to make any run. Sure enough it was Heppell who scored the next goal for Essendon to lead by 20 points.

 

[Peck]

Wells looks fantastic jogging to the ball, but as soon as he picks it up he gives a lazy handball and straight up stops moving.

What the hell
