How ironic is it that Worsfold's Essendrug team play in front of CHEMIST WAREHOUSE flashing billboards?

Gold.

Touched kick for goal, too

Watching this makes me realise how much I hate the black and red scum

I feel sick

Score review system will be back in the news this week.

 

Umpires for the win. 

????

Umps dragged Essendon over the line

I’ve never seen such bad cheating by umpires. Absolutely fixed.

Thank God for the mute button. Can't listen to this song. 

frees 29 : 14

How much is 15 extra kicks worth?

6 points..

I walked out of the room for a few seconds. Did Cale Hooker mark the ball or was he given a free? 

Corrupt umpires or are they just completely incompetent?

Marked it. He was brilliant up forward in the last quarter. I wish our tall forwards were able to compete in contested marking situations like him.

That looked touched to me. 

And not even reviewed!

It would be interesting to analyse the betting odds throughout the game and check on a few persons of interest's accounts.

OMG I first read the word as drugged

Speak8ng through my kick but jeez the bombers got some dubious frees and the giants got nada. Why wasn't that a mark to Tomlinson?

The game was fixed.

From the broadcasting partner to the umpires department that would be on of the biggest con jobs I have ever seen. How corrupt and just plain incompetent is this organisation.

Is the answer to your question necessarily binary?

Not at all. A little from column A, a little from column B?

To all those who think umpires don’t influence results (or that crowds don’t influence umpires’ decisions), please watch that last quarter. Utterly ridiculous. Most one-sided crap I’ve seen since, well, the Eagles’ last home game.

I cannot believe how that game was destroyed by bad umpiring which appeared to be so heavily biased to Essendon. Marks not paid to GWS, clear frees not paid to GWS, whereas completely ridiculous frees were plucked out of nowhere to Essendon, turning the momentum of the game. A disgraceful performance by the AFL.

Stupid giants. All you had to do was beat essendon. You have this talented list and couldn't beat them and just ruined our start to the round. Mind you I didn't watch 1 second of it. But gee Giants hope that doesn't cost you at the end.
