Four umpires… is there any other sport where two umpires make a different decision at the same time. One called mark and the other called play on, at the exact same time. What a joke.

Just have a relaxing read of Carlton's Big Footy site .

Thought I would share this eloquent line.

"Just because you roll the [censored] in some glitter near the end of the game doesn't stop it being a [censored]. "

( for censored read - " solid piece of fecal matter "

Fair call Ethan. We can only wait in joyful anticipation of the day when all four umpires make different decisions simultaneously !

Collingwood double the Saints free kick count

Josh Daicos just threw it out of a tackle inside saints f50. Play on!

It must be easy being a Pies supporter when you know it's always stacked in your favour

And AFL bosses love it

Jeez, Nick Faicos can read the play well under zero pressure. Sublime

They’ve gone up a gear. Their pressure is off the charts. Geez I hope they can keep this up.

Dodged a bullet on Houston, been awful this year

Bobby Hill: 0 disposal

Darcy Moore: 2 disposal

Collingwood's forward line is the antithesis of ours. They're fast, open, clean and accurate

[censored] me up the wall

And now Collingwood will blaze away and end up winning by 10 goals. 🙄

Well that was a quick watch.
Just tuned in to see Collingwood take it from backline to mark and goal in about 15seconds.
Turned it off again.

filth finish each quarter so well

Improved our ladder position by one spot. Maybe we should have the bye every week?

If only Clarry got a free for every open palm to his chest. He was sprayed by the media as soft for going down after gut punches.

So why not walk up to the protected one at the start of the game and say 'I'm going straight through your sternum today'.

Then give away 5 free kicks at the next 5 clearances by absolutely belting the grub in the chest - like he did to Ed. He'll go down as he does, so make it hurt. He'll get his 5 free kicks anyway, so how about the old media style 'make him earn it'? If it's ok to smash Gawn in the head at every marking contest, fair is mother-you-know-whating-fair. Make the grub earn it.

Overall, I'm getting over footy, it's out of control. The ****ty niggle at every point is ridiculous. Every single time certain teams have an oppo player on the ground and the whistle goes - push in the back. It achieves nothing but the possibility of a free kick for retaliating. Pay frees against that rubbish. At one point today Jordon Sweet put a knee into Grundy's back after the whistle. Nothing to see.

Will always be grateful we got Harves and X instead of that dud.

It's laughable how much the media is in bed with Collingwood, within minutes of the end of the Collingwood game, Fox Footy already have come out with a video launching a full force defence of Nick Daicos and complaining about him getting tagged.

I mean are you having a laugh, there is not a single other player in the league that would be defended in this manner.

Wasn't it the case that Port's thug like tactics on Max a couple of years ago were lauded by the media as a smart tactical move.

But no, as soon as you lay a finger on the golden boy you are consigned to damnation by the media.

They simply are not even trying to hide their bias anymore.

If he's not doing it, it's sidebum

Why have we reached a stage where Maggots and the Media are so compromised that even during games they are publicly humiliated.

Umpires errors form a major timespan of discussion on and off air while Media cliques are forming between groups of Media stalwarts and their buddies.

North Melbourne:

13.6.84

If they kick a little less accurate today they lose to Carlton.

One game where they’ve kicked more behinds than goals for their first 15 games.

ACCURACY is everything, Melbourne.
