Toast Round 14 = North Melbourne 118-119 Collingwood

[Anzacday]

It’s the reverse of the Freo “umpire goal”.
Our supporters banged on about it.
Everyone else laughed about it and told us to move on.

 

[Kes1984]

Gerard Whately just sounded like he's going insane over this issue. Collingwood people calling in are triggering him lol

 

[Fat Jesus]

Drives me insane how these morons only focus on 1 bad decision

I avoid Twatter, FB, all media and the main AFL thread here. Helps to keep my sanity intact.
I watch "the front bar" is all for the comedy value.

Are they still banging on about it? We're 4 days after the match, ffs. They're not changing the result.

Kind of glad we have a bye this week, they can bang on about another teams controversial umpiring decision all next week.

I was only listening while briefly in the car, but he reckons he mentioned it for 12 seconds at the start of the show, now Collingwood people are ringing in and he's majorly triggered.

Why still mention it at the start of the show. Fair dinkum it's dragging on and on!

AFL made a ruling on it - can we all just move on now!

I find Gerard's show annoying to listen to, fullstop. I spend the whole time impersonating the way he speaks. Drives me nuts

Too bad we have a bye this week, we can keep triggering him for another week and a half yet…

Hate the way he says "Orstralia". Once you hear it, it cannot be unheard. So now you can suffer too.

Yep, I'm guessing Fly would call it "acting like losers" to still be talking about decisions even an hour after (like the comment about lying down after the 2022 QF* [Edit] loss). Can't change it, move on.

The bye makes it almost feel like an 8 point game - if the Pies had lost that they'd have to sit with it for 2 weeks before getting a chance to make amends. (Like the Dees & Petracca narrative is still largely about the game 2 weeks ago).

I just spat out my coffee at my desk at work haha gold. Great call.

I think it was after the Geelong loss 2 weeks earlier. We were robbed.

Anyway else hoping North smash the Dee's this week?

I sure am.

 

[Cousin of Daicos]

I will say the biggest take away for me in the cold light of day (3 days later lol) is just how thankful I am we won going into a bye

Losing to North and having to stew in that for 2 weeks would have suuuuuuucked

+ hopefully by this time next week North would have had a big win over Melbourne and everybody will have moved on.

Knowing Norf they'll lose by 10 goals and kick 4.15.

The hosts are there to facilitate the real stars, the guests.

I get where you're coming from mate. Either way they have great guests, more often than not.

Unfortunately that very unfunny Mooney bloke is on tonight.

How does afl head office view the constant criticism of the umpiring fraternity The umps would be rightly aggrieved with having their every decision scrutinised and be the nexus of endless debate The afl need to make a stand here as a show of support for their employees and bring the media into line

^^^^this! Last year the AFL went overboard with players respecting umpires. The idea was to give umpires some integrity back so they introduced the disent rule. Now we have coaches having a crack at umpires in pressers. Most importantly the media barrack against umpires every week.

I am so sick of Hodge and Richardson disputing decisions, Taylor creating a controversial decision at the end of every match and, Robbo and Caro should be ashamed of themselves. Edmonds, Ralph and Cornes are shock jock liars.

Its about time the AFL pulled the media in and told them to stfu.

I've been an umpire hater as a supporter and player. However I respect the speed of the game now even with four umpires is crazy. I am sure the Daicos hold was missed because umpires were caught out watching him scissor kick in awe. In the heat of the moment, the ‘50’ saw north, Collingwood and umpires caught up in the moment. All parties made mistakes. The wardlaw ‘50’ is not highlighted by the media at all.

Seriously media umpire bashing is a joke. That should be left to us
