Game Day Collingwood v GWS Giants - Preliminary Finals — Sat 21 Sep, 4:35PM AEST, MCG

[Pakenhamsaint]

They do not want to stuff up the score review next week. If the side on the wrong end gets beaten by under 6 points then you can guarantee it will go to court.

Two or three really dodgy frees in the last quarter.

They can deny it all they like but there is no doubt in my mind that umpires get caught up in the "momentum" of the game, especially if their is a big parochial crowd screaming its **** off.

Umpires surely keep track of the count. Every game seems to have a “square up” quarter.

Haynes and Taylor were massive down back, especially with Davis going down early.

No chance it happens.

Retires?

Mayne is 30, and has played the best footy of his career over the past two years, and in particular over the past 6-8 weeks.

He's very emotional for better or worse, win or lose. A heart-and-soul type, quality clubman, just means so much to him, particularly after a number of near misses over his career.

 

[Black white]

Going to be barracking for you blokes next week. Can’t stand the filth that is GWS.

It's a tough choice, I hope heath Shaw gets the norm Smith. Reiwold gets mummified and it's a draw, they have to play again.

Nafan No Flags lmao

“Keefe needs to stand up for this defense and replace Davis”

The commentators seem to think gws have no good defenders other than Davis. I swear they don’t watch footy

Brave Collingwood - ripped off - but brave.
GWS played well but they were well favoured when in counted in the third quarter.

Please Tigers - end this farce and beat the lovechild.

No ticket for you. Go for GWS.

 

[Pakenhamsaint]

No chance it happens.

It nearly happened tonight.

 

[WillieNillie]

Not even.

What should Buckley have done?

-Move Crisp to the midfield after quarter time
-Put a tag on Zac Williams
-Position your midfielders forward of the play during the ruck hitouts. Grundy kept hitting it behind himself to GWS players
-Move Mihoceck well up the ground and lead up
-Man the ****ing person on 20 metre chip kick to stop them kicking it out 70m from goal

Got atleast 10 more

 

[Daffytrain]

Again, so we're discarding everything that happened via a wrong decision? My god you people are basic.

Are you mentally challenged? How can you say if the Pies had won by a goal or less that the incorrect touched decision has no bearing on it's own. FMD.

 

[WCfan22]

WHAT A MASSIVE CHOKE is what I had said the first time

They did alright from 4th

 

[Black white]

That result doesn’t matter now sunny. Both out! Get on the giants bandwagon!

No thanks, no bandwagon for me.

 

[demondavey]

It’s blatantly obvious that the commentators and Ralph are really really pushing the ARC agenda here and going hard on the Collingwood bias agenda. Whether or not they should be saying it, it isn’t a great look.

As for the ARC? Steve Hocking has a hell of a lot to answer for. An absolute hell of a lot.

 

[bungalow_bill]

Great Result...I knew Colliwobbles were no good.... Geelong were pathetic against Pies. That said cannot see Giant beating the Tigers.

Most said the same thing V the Pies and Greene will be back. But yeah Tigers will probably win

Dylan Shiel thinking wtf did I do

It is interesting how many big name players move clubs to play in premierships and it never get one.

 

[Demontim275]

It nearly happened tonight.

No one is taking the afl to court over a score review. It’s a fallacy that dramatics come up with.

If horse racing can have photos go the wrong way every week, no way a football club is taking a millionaire to court

Shiel was a passenger for GWS

Umpires surely keep track of the count. Every game seems to have a “square up” quarter.

Yep. Square count = well umpired.
Disparity in the count = poorly umpired.

They have to square it and they never leave it to the last.

Had to square it up in the 3rd. Happens more often than not.

 

[Docker Alyssa]

Heart goes out to Chris Mayne! Haven't seen a guy so raw since Varcoe 2013 Prelim

Congrats to GWS and come on De Boer! Get that first premiership...

They know the Melbourne teams back to front, others not so much. Never knew how good Taylor was but Haynes has been a freak for years now. Most underrated player in the comp.
