The Bulldogs battled valiantly but you have to give credit when it is due, it was just relentless pressure from the Umpires that told in the end.

    And if the Collingwood player's head had been hurt, it would be a suspension to the dogs player. That has to stop happening.

    Horrible umpiring

    Final score tonight 33 frees to Pies to 14 Dogs.

    When you lose by a goal that is mammoth.

    My hatred of this Pies team is so high right now. Such a bunch of thugs

    Membrey was useless.

    Houston very average aside from a few nice kicks

    Hope they put all their eggs in the one basket as they have zero youth coming through

    Would you interview Number 22 or 2 after the game?

    Tough call, they both umpired so well

    Seems anything goes in the last minute but only if it advantages Collingwood. That was a disgraceful non-call and so obvious. Would love to hear Bevo tee off about the umpires.  He must be seething.  Don’t think I heard the commentators once mention the free kick count.  Probably not allowed to.

    Garry Lyon certainly mentioned it on Fox.

    The Collingwood / umpires alliance make for a formidable force.

    I hope Bevo fires a shot. You can have doozies but I can’t remember a game influenced by this much poor umpiring. 
     

    Glad to see social media going off. It will be discussed this week no doubt, but damage is done now.

    That Bailey dale one, dunstall couldn't believe it.

    Sorry but this game was decided by a goal. The free kick difference should not be 19.

    Seriously the standard of umpiring since they added the extra umpire is atrocious. It’s getting harder and harder to watch non Melbourne games.

    Ummmm, that’s a statistically unacceptable difference. So essentially the dogs gave away 140% more free kicks than the pies? 
     

    140%???????

    I don’t bag the Umpires on here too much, but that was a disgrace tonight and it had a huge bearing on the Result

    I was going to ask about that. I got the distinct impression that the frees for Collingwood started relatively even and then just accelerated in Collingwood's favour.

    Missing that blatant attack on the legs, basically killing the game, is just the perfect cherry-[censored] on top.

    At some point the Pies fans also need to be copping fines for not returning the ball to the field. It has clearly become a little side game for them, something to tell their cousin-wife about when they get home.

    I just don't get it. Umpies don't go out to cheat or favour, and despite the angry rhetoric, neither do the AFL direct umpires to "follow an agenda". But how could a game be umpired with such discrepancy? Howling missed free kicks or erroneous ones in a pattern over 3 quarters. I am hoping  the umpires are in the VFL next week (sorry VFL) because they are not up to AFL standard.

    Not a chance.

    Why can't they make this professional?

    The standard just ruins so many games

    Never underestimate the subconscious bias influenced by a 50,000-strong mob baying for your blood.

    Darcy was probably BoG )with Libba and Daicos) but he hit the post twice from 30m with no pressure

    He must be feeling it

    *side note - love how Darcy seems to hate the Pies and sticks it to Maynard.

    • NON-MFC: Round 02

      The compromised AFL fixture will get another test this week with the first lot of teams getting a bye after only two matches. Despite this Round 2 starts off with two cracking games as the Hawks host the Swans at the G on Thursday Night and then on Friday Night the Crows host the Bulldogs at Adelaide Oval. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      The dominant storyline coming out of Round One for Sunday’s clash at Optus Stadium centres on the influence of the big men. The spotlight naturally falls on two elite ruckmen who, five years ago, shared the stage in Melbourne’s memorable premiership triumph.

    • THE STATS FILES: St. Kilda

      As part of the effort to trim the runtime of the regular podcast, we’ve been looking at which segments could be reshaped without losing what makes them valuable. One segment that naturally came into focus was Binman’s Stats Files. Not because it isn’t important; quite the opposite. It’s become such a substantial and much-loved part of the show that it deserves a little room to breathe.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      One of the big stories of the AFL off-season was the spending spree of Melbourne’s Round 1 opponent, St Kilda. They splashed out heavily, first to retain Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera - the hero of last year’s epic come-from-behind miracle victory -turning him into a $2 million man. They then effectively took out an expensive overdraft to recruit a string of expensive players from other clubs. It was a risky investment strategy and, although it’s still early days, it certainly failed to pay off in Sunday’s season opener, with much of the glitter turning to fool’s gold.

    • POSTGAME: St. Kilda

      Never in doubt!!! In Steven King’s first game at the helm of the Melbourne Football Club, the Dees outlasted Saints in a wild, momentum-swinging thriller at the MCG, running out 13-point winners.
