NON-MFC: Round 11

[Bombay Airconditioning 6,388]

The deliberate out of bounds paid late in the 2nd qtr against Freo just highlights how much trouble our game is in. The umpiring across all games that I’ve watched this season is by far the worst I’ve seen. I honestly ask myself is there an agenda.

Then the love for a nineteenth and possible twentieth team just blows me away. Some will argue last weeks result of the Eagles beating us shows how even the competition is. 
 

Just then a soft free against Moore. 
 

But in reality we know that’s not the case. After last weeks loss many on here bemoaning our lack of depth are all for two more teams, go figure….

Finally the tribunal, enough said.

The game is fast losing its way, we don’t want to believe it because of our love for it, but sadly the powers that be can’t be told and we will cop what ever is served up.

Freo are very slick by hand and foot but over use the handball which sees them get caught in their back half a little too often.

They also make a fair few rookie & basic mistakes both with choices and clangers.

[Demon Dynasty 17,109]

The Pies use their feet to kick / toe poke the loose ground ball away from oppo alot, attempting to move it forward or towards safety of boundary.

Deny and disrupt.

What was that free kick to daicos for just then? Those bumps happen most games

[Bombay Airconditioning 6,388]

They also move it quickly and get it inside 50 quickly to fwds that aren’t falling over each other whilst having smaller players running in to the drop of the ball.

Freo are shiit. 
Come back Dogga.

[deegirl 1,577]

This is really annoying me. Collingwood have the grit to fight out these wins. Not sure we have the same 

[Maldonboy38 6,401]

Horrible game of footy, but game going to script. Freo keeping pressure on, lots of tackling and stoppages, keeping Pies at bay. Pies slowly pulling away due to Freo over using/abusing handball. 

Papley's over celebrating, Draper's ridiculous hair cut, commentators drooling over all things Daicos: all these things are annoying, frustrating and rage-inducing. But Maynard . . . this pretend tough guy is in a class of his own. Surely footy gods/karma/reap what you sow has to see him cop his right whack some time soon. 

Looks like a Pies template game. Close score, they will kick 2-3 goals in red time to win. Again.

You watch Freo play the game of their lives against us next week.

My hatred of the filth is off the charts.

[Colm 2,151]

God I [censored] hate the pies. If we achieve nothing else this year please dear god may we smash the filthy scum on KB game.

Darcy's competitive in the ruck but that's about where it ends.  Super slow to react & dispose and his HBs are generally pretty shizen

You know what Collingwood do well. Sticking their tackles. They rarely miss.

The scary thing is they have so many good players out but are still winning.  It makes you sick.

[binman 42,903]

I have an uneasy feeling.

Backed the pies to win by more than 25. Looking good on that front.

But I still want them to lose.

[Left Foot Snap 2,402]

Good to see Corey Wagner getting a run.

Good luck to him.

They are woeful by hand, and decision making is as bad as us.

[Demon Dynasty 17,109]

Young's been pretty ordinary tonight.  

Is it just me or has Walters had a mare so far?

Their Guernsey looks like an extention of their tatts.

Their pressure is quite incredible

This footy season sucks so far, essendon & Collingwood keep winning

Yep.  The whole team has white line fever.  It's 100% pressure / urgency then go go go on the turnover.

Cameron's also a decent ruck and VG overhead mark.  I think i heard somewhere he's one of the best intercept marks behind play also?

The game appears to have gone past Fyfe now 😬

How was that kick to the wing by Daicos not deliberate oob?

Hodge was 100% correct. Only bloke to question the umpiring ever !! BT is a pies lover all night.

How’s BT’s response to that kick

[spirit of norm smith 16,443]

Freo.  Handballs. Handballs. Handballs.  Turnover. Fumbles. Pies pickup.  Kick.  Handball. Kick.  Goal.  
 

Freo playing dumb footy tonight !!! 

[Sir Why You Little 37,033]

WTF was that Free kick for?

This game is becoming a serious joke
