Great game of footy - both teams with some great skills. Lots of pressure, moment by moment plays won by both teams. Not sure about the Norm Smith medal because no player dominated the game, but if N Daicos gets it I will know their is a "city hall" conspiracy. Probably Bobbie Hill.

I hate it that the Pies won - makes me ill. I am actually quite happy for most teams to take their moment in the sun and win when they have been dominant, but all the dripping shmooze about the Pies is nauseating. 

That advantage call will go down in infamy. 100% wrong call by an experienced umpire. 

The AFL rules committee and umpires have to look at high tackles awarded to players dropping their knees. I counted 6 today that were awarded when the umps had clear vision of the contact. Not good enough. And I am counting players like Kozzie and Spargo, not just Collingwood players because I hate the club and the jumper. All contact above the shoulders should be a free kick, even the slightest contact, but NOT if a player causes it.

    There’s no justice in footy

    Yep, none whatsoever. The thugs of the comp are rewarded. The fair teams are penalised. The team who threatens the AFL with the Supreme Court should they make a good case against Maynard (or appeal the outcome which went their way), gets what they demand. The AFL will kowtow to Collingwood forevermore. Yet again, a bully wins.

    A triumph for the gormless and the toothless.

    Didn’t play tough at all. Zorko squibbed badly. J Berry was awful. 
     

    so some silver lining at least.

    I really hope the story of that game is the advantage interpretation.

    There’s absolutely no justification for how that was to the Lions advantage. That was a pure, out and out, mistake by the umpire.

    This would be the worst month ive experienced watching footy. Its worse than 1977 to 83 era.

    Collingwood are mongrels but their luck is mind boggling.

    Im sending an email to MFC later.

    We have got to stop being Mr Niceguy. Shut down BBrowns children events and other related photo ops. Shutdown Alice Springs  Pickett or no Pickett.

    If you want to be social workers then quit footy.

    Sick of this.

    Take a close look at the Filth

    Theyre Premiers and the media will rub it in our faces with a large pic of Maynard holding up the cup.

    I would have preferred a pies loss but I don’t really feel sorry for the lions.

    Really wanted the pies to lose, but must admit they seem an incredibly well coached side.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
