AFL Round 16: Essendon v Collingwood Sunday 3:20pm AEST @MCG

[Ambrosia]

Lol wtf

 

[PieLebo87]

Essendon has held Collingwood’s ball winners very well so far. No real impact from them so will be interesting last quarter.

 

[4tone]

The constant needling from the bombers fans have made these maggots forget all the rules. The worst umpiring ive seen in decades.

 

[OhhDeledio]

First time in history they've called that rule.

Cant wait to see it every single instance from now on.

They called it in one of the games earlier in the round, think it was buddy. Shit rule

Crisp and De Goey 》Beams

Thanks Brisbane

Dan Rioli & Prestia 》Treloar

Thanks Collingwood

 

[Pakenhamsaint]

Crap by Howe but he didn’t step off his mark one bit. Should not have been called to play on

You only have to look like it these days

 

[OniAu]

Pies will win unfortunately. Will scrap out a win like a finals team should

Wouldn't be so sure , you guys have targets up forward. Terrible match to watch

 

[Back One Out]

Has there ever been a more inconsistent commentator than BT?
His form fluctuates wildly from one week to the next.

I'd been thinking how much he'd improved in recent weeks. Just calling the game normally without any histrionics. I like his voice and the excitement he injects without screaming or going overboard.

But today he is back to his floggish worst

Must be the occasion - the MCG blockbuster between old rivals

 

[Stevi_Tigers]

Why is this vfl caller doing the game and it’s not Jason Bennett

 

[projectv]

Ironic for Essendon fans to be outraged at that rule change, given Stringer is the reason they changed it.

 

[TigerMoz1973]

Hurley soft in the 1on1 as usual

And then salty after being outplayed

Makes our league look like a joke

 

[Power Raid]

I think the pies will finish stronger

Well we can probably agree it’s a sh!tshow in general. Hopefully no ridiculous injuries to come

 

[Hawkforce]

Collingwood playing for a top snoo snot according to BT

 

[reload141]

Hope the umpires realise their mistake and give Collingwood another 8 free kicks.

 

[Stevi_Tigers]

What’s happened to heppel skill wise 8clangers

Why? they shouldn’t have changed it...

 

[Big John Studd]

Youre so disolusionalalal

but but but it's your vfl team.......

 

[RAPPA]

But why, don’t even get the outcry. Milking the clock within your allotted time should never be an issue.

It's an issue because the idiots in the AFL that devised the rule didn't have the foresight to consider that players would milk it when they see it on the big screen. It's sour grapes from the AFL.

 

[Big John Studd]

What’s happened to heppel skill wise 8clangers

All year

 

[PowerForGood]

Collingwood assistance package continuing today.

When will the AFL investigate or at least acknowledge the clear statistical umpiring bias towards Collingwood over the last 4 seasons?

2018 347-271 FF-FA (so far)
2017 394-349
2016 443-404
2015 400-356

Or is that honour reserved for non-Vic teams with conspiracy theories of a "noise of affirmation"?

 

[Stevi_Tigers]

All year

He’s struggling by foot

 

[Acinath]

You forgot Merret,Tippa.Fantasia when he’s playing

Good one

 

[SuperSteele22]

I think the pies will finish stronger

Wouldn’t be surprised if it goes the opposite way. We’ve looked tired for a few weeks now
