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.

Nothing

Free kicks 33 - 9 after the first 15 minutes

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

 

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.

Said Dogs fans were furious:

 

What a surprise- a little club is screwed over by a bigger club

 


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 turned it off with 10 to go

i can’t watch those bastards celebrating ever again 

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

Snuck in under my agents radar but it's time to increase the rent of my investment property full of pies Tenants.

Look I’m no fan of rapacious land lords with negative gearing CGT and 1000 properties but in this case fken go for it

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.

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
