Autopsy Autopsy vs Collingwood aka the Great Pain Robbery

[The Dougster]

How long it hurts depends what happens next.

We beat Melbourne next week and the pain is gone.

 

[DuckYeah]

We beat Melbourne next week and the pain is gone.

We should be $2.20 they should be $1.80

 

[Hearts to hearts]

We beat Melbourne next week and the pain is gone.

Case in point - the game next to this on the comeback ladder was Saints coming back from over 50 points down against the Dogs in 2015. Who even remembers that happening now?

They want Daicos to be the LeBron James of the AFL so they will give him all the tools to make that happen.

That includes Brownlow Medals and Norm Smiths.

Put my house on it he gets 3 votes in this game come Brownlow night even though he was nullified for 3 quarters.

The economic windfall to have ‘brand’ players from the big clubs is straight out of the NBA and NFL handbook.

He was basically padding stats where he could for three quarters and had no effect on the game.

…N.Daicos 3 Votes…

I woke up very angry. I’ve already ran through 3 people and only been on the train for 3 minutes.

Given away cheap free kicks mate

The truth is, sadly for us, that after the hullabaloo over the various late game-changing free kicks last week, the umpires would have been told to ease off on free kicks late in close games. Once again, we get suckered by the change in direction. As always, an over-correction takes place. They, literally, swallowed their whistles. The weasel words would be “they exercised their discretion”. FMD.

How does that make sense? It was 10-2 fk’s in the last quarter?

Literally? Good.

These umpires give grass roots umpires a bad name.

Ease off free kicks? Quaynor throws the ball at least 20m! If you aren't paying that then you haven't eased off free kicks. You've completely eradicated them from the game!

It was cheating. There’s no other way to describe it.

Loss would be a tad easier to stomach if even 20% of pies fans could admit they got out of gaol (for most of them probably the second time that's happened) today, and got absolutely dick ridden by the umps for a half.

But it's all "**** this teams so good" "54 pts, no problem!", "This team never gives up".

Completely blind to what every neutral could see.

That’s ok, I wanted a team to deeply root against in September.

I sincerely hope their best players suffer injuries.

I’m just talking about the three missed frees in the last couple of minutes, Duck. Last week, they would have all been paid.

 

[Samsquanch]

Just between you and me, I wonder what words of encouragement and motivation were being whispered into the earpieces of the on-field umpires during the second half of yesterday's game?

I hope that North demand the recordings and that they thoroughly examine every word that's uttered.

 

[king of the road]

You know what’s worse than the non paid 50, was that dog shit effort on goal by Tucker.

He had the time to size them up even on his left and missed everything.

The one time I wish Zurhaar went the hungry way and took it on himself.

Sidebottom and others missed snaps in the last few minutes. It happens.

They should be made public every week

 

[Only Forwards]

I’m probably more annoyed now than I was directly after the game.

Not only at the umpiring. It was legitimately shit.

But also at the fact with very few personnel changes we could play like that.

Meaning we have had that in us all along.

We play like that against a bunch of sides and would not be sitting on one win.

 

[spurs]

3 weeks ago we had this chalked up as a 100+ point loss

We have a successful brand of footy that looks beyond elite, we just need time and fitness and a few spuds cleared off.

Add in Mckercher Duursma Payne Goater Smilie/whoever to that team today in 2-3 years we will be undefeated

Fwiw the umpires aren’t cheats they are just incompetent cause they refuse to make them full time and have 4 of them making worse calls than when 3 were there.

Onwards and up boys, chins up. Stay the course.

I find it incredible that the AFL does not ensure the umpires are full time. No wonder they suck each week with terrible decisions.

The AFL, that is run by lawyers is not putting its head in that noose.

Our pressure fell right off in the last.

Whats the league average?

They should be made public every week

Now that is an excellent idea. It would greatly aid transparency.

Hence, it will never happen.
