That hit the behind post? Lol

 

[Bunnings]

The Duck-os brothers

 

[Hollow Knight]

Anyone done it to Mathieson?

Would be hard to blame them if they did.

 

[Grockadoc]

Vomit worthy how many Pies players are throwing their head back when they feel the tackle.

 

[Big Sauce 21]

Pack of ducking flops pies squad

 

[HairyO]

Lol Pies found a way... against the worst team in decades.

 

[Randomizor]

Hahahaa at the commentators having to pretend Pies are good rather than just lucky North are tanking

WTF.. commentators on mmm saying how absolutely brilliant the pies are!

Happened last week too.

Suns should’ve won the game twice over but cost themselves with bad kicking for goal. Pies steal it. Cue the jizz.

 

[nylexbandit]

Correct.

As soon as he takes possession he has no intent to move it on or find a teammate as it is straight to the knees and ducking while having raised arms in the process to make the tackle go high.

Terrible look for the game and these incidents are not 1 offs it is literally every time he takes possession trying to milk free kicks.

If they're serious about protecting the head they need to start penalising blokes for creating contact to their own head, leading with the head in contests, etc.

I'm happy if they start by fining after games rather than free kicks.

 

[Fadge]

7 on the trot. Never in doubt.

Anyone done it to Mathieson?

A couple have yes.

I hated every time he did it. Umps should just let it go.

 

[Elixuh]

Brave from Collingwood to overcome checks notes last on the ladder

The simple answer to this is just to not pay them anymore to anyone. It took 5 weeks for players to stop burrowing their heads into opponents to win free kicks, it isnt a hard fix.


I'd be so embarrassed if I was known for ducking and playing for free kicks. The AFL need to get this horrible look out of the game.

 

[Hollow Knight]

Wow, Noble trying to deliver some encouraging pats to North players who wanted none of it.

 

[MickG88]

Well, they didn't. The umps got them over the line.

 

[bzparkes]

Collingwood might as well just pack up the season. Got a % boosting oppo and barely won.

Finals fodder incoming.

 

[Plugger35]

Disappointing but predictable, Collingwood very lucky to get away with the 4 points.

 

[TheUnicorn]

The amount of flopping by the pies outfit is embarrassing.

 

[Andrew Mc]

7 on the trot. Never in doubt.

#flagpies

Way more ducks in a row than 7.

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

 

[Farang83150]

Shame that, well done the Pies on getting the win but would've loved to see Nth get up.
Horne-francis may have been the diff today if he had a spine.

 

[Carlton85]

North brave today.

There were 6 goals in front, and lost the game, sack the coach, should have never lost this game!

 

[Fitzey]

Well Collingwood are nothing, well played North, brave and deserved the win. Promising signs despite it being against a poor side
