I laughed so hard when it was suggested by one of the commentators that this was deliberate.

It was though, they had a "tonihgt" banner a couple years back and won

Big difference was they were playing the Blues.. that’s not an omen. Of course they won.

It's just a funny banner dude

 

[Event Horizon]

Those two decisions that went against Geelong tonight are nothing short of scandalous. The not 15 call in particular. If the AFL has any integrity what’s so ever it should come out and openly admit it

What. Open a Pandora’s box of worms? That would require integrity. It’s the AFL mate!

It was deemed touched, if the game had been 2-3 seconds longer I think HTB would have been paid.. they are letting them go a lot this year

Collingwood vs Gold Coast
Crowd: 24,397 at the MCG

Notice the crickets coming from the media about their crowd, we would have copped a pasting. This after their 29k against the Giants.

Don't they have 100,000 members? I've always felt our crowd to member ratio was much better than those 'big' clubs

Collingwood to Tasmania?

Beat me to it!

Geez, I wouldn’t last five minutes at the footy if they cracked down on people calling bald-headed umpires bald-headed flogs. That would be tame for me.

Discretionary rules.

Ben Cunnington would like a word.

How would you ever know - I reckon they'd have played GC at home maybe 2-3 times in a decade. Their crowds are so reliant on fixturing handouts to get the biggest numbers.

Discretionary rules.

Aren't they all that these days? The deliberate "greying" of the rules allows for just about any interpretation possible!

It's like Australian state & federal government statutory law. Wallpaper the masses in with so many statutes that there's no longer any cracks for the "common law" to squeeze through.

Of course, this set up is wide open now to promote and excuse personal bias.

Which leads into the AFL corporate human centipede.....

You would think it was more than just “ bald-headed flog “ etc. Otherwise what the hell is the world coming to.

I don't get the outrage. Nicholls is definately bald.

Hense it obviously was more than that.. I do agree that just because you pay an entry fee does not give you the right to yell out whatever you want and act like a jerk.

No, they clearly meant it.

"last time this happened, we went alright"

Bit of a giveaway

Proof will be if they put the slogan on the next banner: The penultimate time this happened, we went alright, the last time it happened Bucks proved he was shyte.

Sam Newman's wife Amanda found dead in their apartment this morning. How sad.
