Autopsy AFL 2023 First Preliminary Final - Pies v GWS Fri Sept 22nd 7:50pm EST (MCG)

[Shane Heard]

I look forward to Collingwood’s 28th grand final defeat next Saturday

Well done pies! Just keep getting it done

"Country road... take me home... "

I think we start $1.02 if we win tomorrow personally

Wonderful evening.

To all the sooking neutrals in here I love the sweet taste of all your salty tears. The Pies finished #1, beat Melbourne then GWS to make the GF yet most of you insult the team........imagine how great we'd be if we were actually good?? Go Pies! Bring on the Blues or Lions we'll grind them all down to dust.

I have this strange feeling that:
1. Brisbane won't kick straight and Carlton will get through to a GF, having won all their finals because teams didn't kick straight against them.
2. Carlton won't fire a shot in the GF.
3. We will have a sad, one sided final with Daicos winning a normy being a big down hill skier, over De Goey who does all the heavy lifting early on.

You're right...your feeling is very strange.

 

[NSWCROW]

You'd think either team tomorrow will win by 5+ goals next Saturday.

Pies'll get the cookin' v Brisbane too !!

Carlton the only hope now lol

Rosebury is usually pretty good but was complete s**t tonight.

Him stopping play because he thought it was over the boundary line should see him struck off being a field umpire next week.

As much as GWS were their own worst enemy, the AFL can not be happy at all with the standard of umpiring in this game.

Firstly, the AFL must crack down on umpires who umpire for affirmation. Its not a professional look and the AFL must take a stand. The old attitude of umpires make mistakes is simply not good enough in a professional sport.

Secondly, why does the AFL persist with throwing the whistle away in the last quarter. Its says everything you need to know about just how amateur the AFL is. Fans would rather see free kicks paid then 3 minutes of ball ups. Collingwood players spent the last 2 minutes of the game literally diving on top of the ball to create ball ups. The very thing that's been holding the ball for the best part of over a decade. Thats incredibly disappointing. If they paid one we would have had an exciting last minute has GWS would have had a play. Instead the umpires broke the laws of the game because they were either frightened, incompetent, cheats or under instruction to not pay any free kicks.

This is why im an advocate for umpires being publicly criticised by players, coaches and the media. Umpires need to take ownership of their performances and be under scrutiny like everyone else in a professional sport. They are paid the big bucks for a reason.

Yer, having umpires publicly criticised will really entice young people to get into umpiring, when they struggle to get umpires the way it is now. And no matter how many times Collingwood players dived on the ball in the last 2 minutes, none of them were free kicks. It wasn't holding the ball today, and it hasn't been holding the ball in the last decade either. Don't let the truth get in the way of your post, it will ruin your fairytale narrative.

Was a ripping game, but GWS were screwed by the umps. Wasn't great both ways, but Giants definitely got the rough end.

He will be rewarded with the GF next week. Just watch

Not sure who this player is, nick daicos perhaps, but if the tribunal are serious, he misses next week. This has been a week all year

You can relax mate we are 5-1 up on them in the big dance wheoever wins tomorrow wins the flag

 

[RedBloodBlackSwan]

Gotta love the pain Greene is going through. You want to see that from your leader.

 

[exxcessivve]

Maybe it’s because I’m a GWS member and was hoping to get a Grand Final ticket, but I don’t think I’ve ever been more focused on and immersed through a footy game before! Great game.

No chance you’re winning at the Gabba. They will slay all your hopes and dreams

Not a dangerous tackle as Daicos didn’t have the arms pinned. Other Collingwood player clearly held the arm. Should get off.

Thats not a sling tackle. Nothing to worry about.

 

[tropicaltiger]

Putting the whistle away should mean 'little tug on the jumper', not 'grabbing a blokes ******* ankles'

exactly four umpires, and about half a testicle between them all.

pins the arm and slams his head into the turf but he plays for collingwood so it will be a footy action thats not even looked at.

Knew he’ll get off as soon as none of the commentators had the balls to question the replay

 

[fnerd]

Can we also not forget that Jordan De Goey was allowed to try a fend off, got brought to ground and wasn't called HTB
The ball directly went inside 50 and they got a behind off of it.

Turned out to be a very handy behind.

Yep… from first look you think probably play on because the tackle never fully held JDG up but the moment he put the ball on the ground whilst still having the tackler holding him is 100% HTB

 

[giggler99]

That last five minutes wow!! I don't think I've seen anything like it in terms of tension. An amazing run from the Giants that just fall short love the way they've played during this run.

Jumping on the Lions Bandwagon now!! I don't think I can cope with Collingwood V Carlton GF

Why not suspend both? Half a game each with the finals loading = 1 game each
