Rough end of the pineapple? Out of all the Victorian teams, no side dictates the fixtures like Collingwood does. You get the games you want, where you want. Its a fact. You are the AFL gold mine and they pander to it.
As for being upset about umpiring, get in line.
Nah. You are being fast and loose with the facts. Other clubs exploit Collingwoods popularity because they know they'll get the crowds and the big bikkies. They put in the demands for matches in prime time against the Pies.
Case in point Melbourne. Pies subsidise them every year by agreeing that Queens Birthday can be their home game. They get the benefit of all the revenue every year.
As for the umpiring we are in line. Right at the back of the line. Stats for the past 5 years show Pies routinely get get the least number of frees, and more importantly the least number of goals from frees. Bit different to Freo and Weagles who have home town umps in their pockets.
It's a real pity that you have departed from the theme of the thread to have a cheap and factually incorrect crack at Pies.
