(No Trolling) 2018 AFL Grand Final - West Coast v Collingwood, 2.30pm AEST, MCG

[im_a_lazy_sod]

Collingwood would have been further in front if not for the umps in the first

A few are forgetting that...

Barrasi killing it

 

[Blues_Man]

Hearing the collingwood flogs chanting USA is so cringe worthy ..seriously grow a Brain

 

[Scythe94]

Diabolical few minutes of umpiring

 

[PhatBoy]

Because of the observable and predictable characteristics of physical reality?

The ball had gone at least 5m when he called it, and went very close to 10m after he called it. At least wait until it's in the player's hand or close to it.

 

[F_therest]

How about HTB for Kennedy.

Kennedy's good enough to kick a goal from there too.

If Eagles lose in a close one Gaff may have cost them a premiership.

 

[Ok Boomer]

2016 Bulldogs all over again with the HTB/throw rule.

 

[BLUEBOYS FOREVER]

Eagles have genuinely been shafted out of about 4 shots on goal

umpires want pies to win, scores should be level.

Early Norm Smith thoughts?

Varcoe

 

[Quinz]

Looks like we’re not going to get any help spoiling this fairytale.

Shouldn’t have let them get the first five, we really didn’t take the heat early. Great since then.

 

[boltsbabyblues]

Eagles getting shafted by umps badly

 

[Runk]

If these three umpires are the best the AFL have to offer then just chuck them all out. Hopeless. What do the eagles have to do to get holding the ball in their fifty? Disgrace.

Edit: I’m aware of the year round umpiring favouritism the Eagles get at home.

 

[Curunir]

I think the umpiring has actually been quite good, few missed calls here and there which always happen but otherwise happy overall. Thought it was going to be a blow out early but shaping up to be a cracker of a game!

 

[Macpotata]

1992 half time score

Geelong 8.8
Eagles 6.8

Was two goals exactly. Like today.

Don sheed to have a big second half. Eagles by 27 point, or by 13.

 

[Jpw22511]

Collingwood will tire here gone tooo hard too early.

 

[Scythe94]

Cox’s one possession the highlight so far.

 

[Chaisa]

Strange game, feels quite a bit different to most GF's recently. Been a decent contest though. I like West Coast's chances of coming back given how the second quarter went, but we'll see.

Surprised a lot of people are mentioning the umps as a big factor, I haven't noticed them too much.

Barass. Shuey second.

I really don't care what it's in honour of or relative to, I just want to shoot anyone not from America who ever says, does or sings anything patriotic about the place.

Early Norm Smith thoughts?

Varcoe

Shuey, easily.

 

[Blues_Man]

Collingwood would have been further in front if not for the umps in the first

Rubbish ...the umps were actually consistent and calling the kicks that were there ..they have stopped doing that now and nit picking their calls ..you must really hate the eagles

 

[StevenwellerHFC]

Mayne NS so far.

 

[ItsOver9000]

Shuey leading Langdon for Normie

Mcgovern norm for me

 

[Jables]

The umpiring is a joke

Three clear holding the ball let go in front of goal

Gutless umpiring ......gutless ...too scared to pay a free kick

Seems to be a direction today.

I thought the umps were going well until the latter part of the 2nd quarter, but after that you are right, they were afraid. Very afraid.
