Mega Thread Non-Freo AFL Discussion 2024 Part 2

[LongSerong]

If Heeney and Warner play anywhere near that last quarter during finals they'll be hard to stop. Both had 14 and kicked a goal

 

[Fireballs]

What happened? I’m out at my young blokes footy and Pies were 25 up?

Heeney, Warner & Gulden fired in the last

Shultz spudded it up

Umps paid 2 dodgy deliberates against Collingwood

 

[stax on the mull]

A couple of marks Heeney took late in the last quarter were sensational. Drop them and the Pies would have swarmed on the ball and had a shot on goal.

 

[Joao]

I'd forgotten how good Heeney and Warner can be just from watching their last 6 weeks.

Geez they're good if they get on top.

 

[FreoRicci]

The marks Heeney took. Sure the first was hard, would forgive if he dropped it but the second ? That’s some glued on mitts. Brilliant

Those 2 Heeney marks were worth 6 Brownlow points

 

[ilikepotatoes]

No it shouldn't. He has another contract for next season and we have improved. Already 12.5 wins with three rounds to go.

Knee jerk reactions from teams just missing finals don't get you anywhere, stability and patience is what breeds results. Who are you going to get to coach us?

I don't think he should be sacked personally, but I expect/hope that there would be a conversation along the lines of if we aren't comfortably top 8 by the bye next season you can pack your bags.

I think we have improved drastically since last season, and we look set for the top 4 over the next 3-4 seasons if we play our cards right.

 

[MadEyeEmmy]

Pies board is filthy with Shoota

 

[stax on the mull]

It was weird. I was watching the turnovers, muffed handball chains and missed connection passes by foot most of the game and thinking Sydney have completely loss confidence which was underlined for me when Gulden missed a snap goal 20m out in the 3rd quarter that would have been routine earlier in the season.

But late in the game when you'd think from exhaustion their skills would be at their worst they pulled things out of their .....

Umpiring has never been better according to the AFL.

**** me.

Umpires not even looking at the play 2 metres away.

 

[Heave Ho Bro]

Pies tanking to improve their first rounder . Oh wait...

To be fair there's a boundary ump watching that, it looks OOB but can't tell with TV angles

’s ass crack at the end

 

[DeanS]

His left foot is hovering on top of the line and his right foot which he is kicking with is therefore a long way over the line. That means the ball was OOB.

Didn’t know Coxy was a plumber.

 

[Nodgey]

Queue McRae sooking about the umpiring. In fairness he was asked about the non-50, but he then doubles down mentioning the deliberates.

Delicious tears.

 

[TheInjuryFactory]

Another episode of sooky la la McRae

He's delivering.

• Cost the club a bit of coin calling the umpires 'a circus' with the deliberates I reckon...
• Then doubled down and sooked the AFL will tick it off
• Sooking the missed 50 (which was totally there) would have been paid at the MCG
• Rambling total shit again. Waiting for another lasagne analogy here...

I actually thought the 2 deliberates were there. 100% Moore was going for the boundary that one I thought was blatant, Cox was going for the boundary too he was under immense pressure.

I see those being called against us 100% of the time in the same scenario.

They were correct in my opinion.

Without a shadow of a doubt.

Can you recall the last dissent free you saw paid this year?

Has that shit of an umpire had an AFL game since? I'd hoped they'd banished the turd.

 

[Nodgey]

BT usually wets himself with a dodgy non-out of bounds call, but unless I missed it, he was noticeably silent on the Elliott one late.

He got dropped for 4 weeks, but pretty sure he’s back. Unless he’s been dropped again.

 

[mattis117]

We can all be appreciative of the umps today because Collingwood 100% should have received a 50 m penalty to win them the game last night, McCartin ran 5m over the mark and it wasn't called.

He stopped once the whistle was blown & immediately started backing up when the umpire was setting the mark at which point the player with the ball played on.
If he hadn’t immediately started retreating it would have been called. I thought it was to the letter of the law & followed the whistle. Can’t do more than that.
