An absolute disgrace. I was already livid at him for screaming at a first year player in Lindsey after that 50m penalty and then he has a go at the greatest ruckman of all time for a bad kick in the last 30 seconds. He can go and get [censored].

Lindsey dropped his head after that spray and continued to make mistakes. As if he needed an over the top verbal spray from a senior 'leader' player.

He cares. We need more like him. Grow up

I hope those umpires have a rotten weak.

How do they sleep?

Bed bugs for the lot of them.

These umpire-influenced games, in the wider context of deep institutional biases, really drain my love of football.

I would guess this that this weekend I watched a total of 30 minutes other than our game, and it'll be less next weekend.

My football watching has dropped to;

Demons

Checking on Carlton just because my brother is a blue and likes to chat football sometimes.

Literally no other club interests me. Why bother even hating?

Even for the Demons I no longer seek out a pub if the the game isn't free to air, just listen to online radio while doing other things.

I used to inhale football news, watch three games a weekend, never miss a Melbourne game, and routinely wear my scarf just because I enjoyed a bit of random street banter about football.

A nice game by Kolt, coulda woulda shoulda had 2 or 3 snags

Bowza a little champion

Sadly our Forward Line is almost VFL Standard

Can’t fault the effort…..

Pies just that bit cleaner and savvy - they were lucky today.

its not luck

its better skills and execution

If we had one of Sidebottom or Pendles in our side, we win that.

Just an unbelievably frustrating affair.

We do so much right but we have to work twice as hard as any other team to win.

Wouldn't mind seeing Bowsa in the middle more.

May was wrong but the guy played his heart out. Show he cares. Seriously we butchered that and it been happening for years. Other than bottom teams how many close games have we won.

Not enough.

How far did McCreepy run in the last min when chased by Kossie???!!

Too far but it's the Pies play on, play on!

Effort was outstanding but why did we still bomb it in long all night towards Howe and Moore? That's precisely what the Collingwood coaching team would have wanted us to do.

Special kudos to Max, May, Turner, Clarry and Langers (who did a superb job at irritating and closing down Nick Daicos).

Sad to say, JVR disappointed yet again. He still does not seem to understand that forward craft involves more than crashing packs.

I seldom criticize umpires, knowing that they have a tough job. But when every questionable decision throughout the game goes one way, you have to wonder what's going on.

I’ve been a JVR apologist for too long now. He’s a bust, does not know how to get himself in the game. He can’t be part of our plan moving forward. Bloke does next to nothing

Great effort today but once again let down by all the same things as usual, we won’t ever be consistent till we can fix this

In other news I lost my second partner that I won against Brissie. Kind of relieved.

We are our worst enemy.

We are our 2nd worst enemy ..

Stealing defeat from the jaws of victory is so on brand for us.

Played bravely but shot ourselves in the foot too many times, however I think our boys can hold their heads high.

Yep

Time and composure

i know we love to throw this around but this time...

the umpires cost us that game

I hate being the hard luck team.

Max knows he f’ed that up and he knows May knows no other way than to say how it is, at the tone in which he’s feeling it. They’re big boys. They’ll be fine.

May was outstanding today by the way.

I seem to remember Max giving Trac a spray after his injury in the game last year, or am I mistaken?

That was bizarre. He’s made for these games

Not sure if he's our version yet but yeah, that surprised me.
But who else?
Kolt was goin' ok.
