After watching the up to now ‘lost tapes’ of the ‘64 Grand Final. The boot was on the other foot. Comments from Ian ‘Cleo’ Cleland early in the third qt. Free kick count Melbourne 19 free kicks Collingwood 10 free kicks. By my count at the end of the GF Dees 23 free kicks Pies 19 frees. Collingwood played dirty? Saw one push in the back not picked up. Otherwise a physical but sporting match. One quality umpire adjudicating.

Flops just like Fischer McAsey get it in!

I'm for Goody taking care of business by pulling the Lever on Backman Turner Overdrive come what May.

IMM Never in doubt. Now for the premierships we thoroughly deserve.

The run of frees to Collingwood many on marginal decisions at key moments was like them having a 19th player on field.For the Demons the umpiring was like having a monkey on your back. Both 50 metre penalties were massively disproportionate to the ‘sins’ purportedly committed. Kossie was absolutely mauled by Daicos and punished for not being ‘sporting enough’ to pick up the ball. Collingwood are very adept at slowing down the play, pushing out opponents at the back of packs or sometimes into potentially dangerous contested situations. Add their propensity for ducking into tackles and head throwing antics. The sham appears to be well choreographed, an endemic part of their playbook. As Gordon Gecko opined on field success by any means is ‘good’ in an amoral AFL landscape. A supposedly professional ‘sporting’ competition with amateur part time adjudicators. That all said today’s result can not be just attributed to umpiring ‘standards’. In the heat of the battle we were own worst enemies. Follies in decision making and skills made the difference in the clinches.

Umpiring is patent horse [censored]

Umpiring is patent horse****.

Showed his true colours in ‘85.

Umpires in the black and white pocket X great tackle Bowser courageous

Brayden has cracked the sads and is watching re-runs of Home Alone. Meanwhile Darcy has grand delusions about the curtain call at ‘G this arvo. Subliminally Son of Peter wishes he was a good as Christian Petracca.

Alternative Filth League Somewhere in a parallel universe on a planet not unlike Earth…

The goal he always needed to kick… Big game at the ‘G in his dreams

That was never say die old fashioned football in less than ideal conditions. Thoroughly enjoyed it. A gritty win to Casey.

Jack Billings BOG Last goal was the sealer.

Roan Steele has lost his matinee looks going to Collingwood. Gone are the flowing locks and the mo. Cox flops free in front of goal. Footy gods phew misses Jack Henderson goes in… Woey miss 3 Struggle Street down there Pies edge closer

Smart play from Tmac Back to black and white TV. What’s the free kick score sheet? Commentary has questioned some of the clangers. When the wobbles ruck jumped into orbit over Big Tom who just stood there. Free kick for what? Down field gift goal.

Umpiring is officially total BS

Throw in Cox infringes “Only way Collingwood can score” ‘A free’ Quote from 7+ team Cream is off Ricky Mentha good tackle even better goal!!!!!
