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.

 

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.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
