That Rankine decision - we’d be ****ing spewing if that was paid against us, it’s borderline at worst… if it was Q1 it probably would have been ignored

WTF

 

[pastmyprimus]

The Adelaide media is getting lots of practice in running ‘The Crows were robbed’ campaigns.

 

[Ford Fairlane]

Kaeys going for goal with a kick that got smothered is what turned the game. So many options that would have taken time off the clock for a shot to win the game.

Spotlight on Keays

 

[StrappingTape]

Where does this irrational confidence come from? We are the flakiest team in the AFL. Would have been lucky to win today, let alone deliver a flogging. More likely is that we would have completely folded under the heat.

The Crows are low on talent but their endeavour is unconditional, you can pretty much set your watch to it. They’re far more trustworthy than Port in terms of putting in a performance against a top team.

Because most teams in the afl would have beaten Collingwood today. Forward of the ball was a real struggle for them and then they lost two more players. We are flakey as **** but there's a limit.

GWS finding it tough against the Bulldogs. Sheffield Shield has a bigger attendance.

Can’t wait for the AFL to introduce 15m run reviews

If they aren’t % sure they get out the tape measure as in American Football.

 

[Ford Fairlane]

Collingwood did well to kick 12 goals with their cobbled together forward line, but how could the crows only score 11 with all their forward 50 entries and almost everyone available in the F50?

 

[backtozero]

I think Rankine was a bit hard done by. You see runs like that all the time that don't get called back. That said, there's nothing to suggest that they run away with it with 26 seconds left on the clock. McHenry was caught in a tackle and from the ball up, Collingwood could have cleared it. Won't stop them claiming they were robbed though.

They can’t complain.. clear holding the ball missed in collingwoods forward line.

Plus a couple more late..

Still laughing tho.

58-49 inside 50’s, more marks,kicks,handballs and surprisingly more Frees!
But alas it wasn’t to be

The collingwood reserves did a great job..

That reminds me of another club. Port can be wasteful at times.

That was a game that I didn't want either side to win I hate the Crows but I am sick of those Collingwood arseholes winning the close ones.

I notice that Collingwood have not adopted a token indigenous name for Douglas Nicholls round, at least there was not one showing on the Foxtel replay. I wonder if we should read anything into that?

He's run at least 20m, its not borderline

Credit to the umpires for not awarding that free to Hill just before quarter time. The replay showed he was not held and staged for a free.

 

[pastmyprimus]

Of course there’s a difference between knowing an umpiring decision is wrong and your emotional reaction to it. Mirth was my reaction to the Rankine decision.

It did look well over 15 for mine.

Someone will measure it.

 

[EskimoPAFC]

I can only assume it must have happened right in front of someone. Could we ask them?

Nicks's game plan is basically Hinkley's with added free kicks.
