How about their runner costing them a goal?? 

So many magical moments

Holding the ball against Howe ... not paid. Cost WC a goal.

Stephenson ran 25 metres without bouncing the ball before kicking a goal. He should have been free kicked.

Suffer filth people ... 

 

 

Yeah that Howe decision ( not paid against him ) was a real shocker.

Umpires in the last Game? Pretty good and hardly noticed.  Tried to carry their favoured Team over the line, but to no avail.

Did we have any of these ones in either of our Finals? Who actually chooses and criteria?

I'm enjoying telling them that it should have been a free

The most disappointing part of the post-game media coverage has been a distinct lack of use of the word "Colliwobbles". This is the type of result the word was invented for.

A trivia point:

colliwobbles or more correctly collywobbles is a very old word and reportedly is a reference to the shakes suffered by a cholera victim. It then went on to be a general reference to an intestinal cramp or disturbance.

What terrible, soul-destroying luck for poor old Collingwood in the last seconds of the GF. It truly makes your heart bleed, it is a gross injustice to the spirit of the game, to the team and to its administration. However, it was a great kick, and a terrific goal to WC and sealed the game completely. Geez, it was a knockout result.

Never knew that. I genuinely thought it was a word invented to describe Collingwood's uncanny ability to lose (then) VFL Grand Finals, particularly in the 1960s and 1970s.

Sounds about right, everything about the Pies gives me internal disturbance.

does anyone think darling deliberately dropped that goalsquare mark to ice the game just to emphasise that colonwood was robbed by keeping the margin to less than 1 kick

if so, absolutely brilliant move by darling

Anyone want to sign the petition?

A lot of level headed Pies fans calling in SEN and saying they weren't robbed and just ran out of legs. 

The funny thing is that it wasn't even a block. As with the goal of the year, of which Pies fans carry on like autistic seals about it being a throw, they have established themselves as amongst the dumbest fans in the game.

Watch the replay. Both Maynard and Rioli have eyes on the ball. They are both competing. Rioli had better positioning. A block is where you actively infringe on a player's ability to contest the mark. That's not what happened. There were two marking contests, one overlapped the other. 

My faith in the Colliwobbles has been restored. Collingwood has not won a Grand Final in September since 1958.

(In 1990 the Grand Final was played on 6 October; in 2010 the Grand Final Replay was played on 2 October.)

What a great idea, a reply or the grand final at Optus Stadium. 

As Collingwood losing grand finals is the gift that keeps on giving.

4000 signatures on the petition to reverse the result of the Grand Final. And so they should too. That result broke 100's  of 1000's of pea hearts ( sorry, Pies hearts) , cost merchandisers millions of dollars and was grossly unfair to our Collingwood friends. 

Let's all sign the bloody thing. You know you want to !!!!
