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?

    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

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

  • Quote

    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 !!!!

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
