Rnd 22 Collingwood Vs Adelaide

[ShearMagic9]

we are in the finals you little beauty!!!!!
chew on that mike malthouse!! we beat 21 men on the opposition team all night!!

Gill you are a STAR!

FFS, not another one that whinges about the umps.

Why don't we just set up a thread, and everyone can do their bitching in there?

They were bad BOTH ways

 

[Crow Chick]

Ump's weren't too bad!!! We've had much, much worse this year.

 

[jenny61_99]

You ****ing bewdy!!!!!! I take it all back re Roo... was a liability in first half... won it for us in the last quarter! And now he'll get to hold the games record. Very appropriate! Well done boys. Well done!

 

[gacjezv]

All in good fun Fantastic!!!

 

[dylan101]

you little ripppaaaaaaa, what a victory, great game by Huddo, basically rucked by himself, Gill fantastic, as was Bocky, and Roo, what a legend

 

[kirky]

Flight already booked for next weekend - can't wait!

 

[Thommo 42]

they were woeful, some of their decisions defied belief.

BUT, it was both ways.

Although, that deliberate one was pretty crucial you'd have to admit

 

[crow87]

these feral umpires are paid off!!! I am 100% convnced of that!
FERAL!

Its so obvious isnt it? when it matters we cant get a sniff off a free kick, then when its over a few to even up the stats. Probably the worst thing is you know its going to happen. AFL you are a disgrace.

It was deliberate mate, kicked it straight out of bounds. Way to pick out the one free kick we got in that crucial period, you could work for collingwood.

 

[SA000584]

Gill was excellent tonight....great defence effort, great offence. Can only get better.


Well done ROOOOOOOO....one more game for a legend.


How good was Burton's three goals from a sharp angle.....he is back.


Time to watch the replay.

of course it was deliberate, but they hadn't paid deliberate all night. Gotta be consistent son.

There were some absolutely stinking decisions. The push in the back on Buckley was unbelievable! Honestly, Buckley should be sent off for all the diving he does!
But, the deliberate out of bounds was a SHOCKER! And at a crucial time. If it had been a call against us and cost us a goal and then game,.......well lets just say I would have been taking a parcel to a clock tower and sat quietly waiting.....waiting.....waiting.....bang bang bang

either way it turned the tide and broke the Magpies hearts I think...

Great game ROO! Great Game Bocky!!! Great Game Gill!!!

Only one more?

Given who you barrack for I dont think you can ever complain about umpiring, or any run of the green type issue for that matter.

an absolutely fantastic game. it's a miracle that torney didn't collide with any low flying aircraft from his effort in the first quarter.

great game by gill. shirley - always knew he was under-rated. birdman - played well despite being in pain. great team effort.

who's heading over this weekend to the finals?

I wish I was. Shirley is in great form at the moment isnt he? Hes doing some really good creative things, which is good to see, while still winning the hard ball. Gill is officially the most loved crows player in history (with respect to ability).

Nick Gill driven straight into the ground when he marked a touched ball at the start of the last quarter, ball immediately goes up the other end and Reid given in the back for a slight nudge by Stevens. 2 minutes later, Buckley gets tackled, takes 3 steps and dives forward - in the back. Neither anywhere near as blatant as Gill's. No consistancy there. Was also a crucial time in the match. There were several crap decisions at crucial stages that swayed momentum in either direction. The deliberate was just the final, and therefore most memorable, one.
Shit umpiring all night - nobody benefitted from it, and it's about the first time ever that we've played one of the big clubs in Melbourne and been given a fair-ish go.

Agree 100% with those pinpointed examples. Also agree with the fair-ish go comment-I was suprised at how well we did from the umpires overall and Collingwood were still favoured.

I'd have no problem with them paying deliberate out of bounds from wakelin if they had have paid the even more deliberate one earlier from one of your players...
still, your boys went in harder earlier and got the break and deserved to win. see you next week maybe

 

[IslingtonCrow]

Umpiring we can't control over the course of the game and there probably wasnt a lot in it according to the commentators and the statistics.

What we can control is the ruckman that we pick. From what I have seen, Maric is far more likely to perform next week than either Griffin or Meesen. Griffin has barely got near it his past two games. He should not play next week and I am surprised he played this week.

Fingers crossed we play the Kangaroos next week. Pies at the G with players back would be a lot harder ask.

I've already agreed that it was blatantly woeful both ways, geez louise!

The one against Torney should have been paid. The umpires explanation was ridiculous in that he didn't pay the free because Torney had to get the handball as he was under pressure from the tackle. At the end of the day it was still deliberate out of bounds!.

There were so bad decisions against us to, the Buckley push in the back is the sort of decision that really upsets me.

Trust me we are owed a few from the umps over the year, so it was good to see us get a reasonable run. Still at the end of the day we again finished on the wrong end of the free count 18-20.

Yeah fair enough... it's just so frustrating that even after how we'd been chasing all night, we get back in the contest,, seven points the diff... four minutes to go... poor decision... goal.. game over.
It's not just this game... it happens all the time... to all teams.

We could well have the grand final this year decided by one of those 50m penalties where a player marks... goes to play on but doesn't.. is held up and gets a 50m...
