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.

The most obvious taking of the legs with 16 seconds to go

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.

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.

Said Dogs fans were furious:

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

 

The Collingwood / umpires alliance make for a formidable force.  

Umpires should've chaired off Pendles and Siddey

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

Lets hope the crows can knock off the bummers. At least that can make it a bit better

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.

3 votes: umpire no 22

2 votes: umpire no 2

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.

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.
