And in a game decided by less than a goal the impact of the umpires influenced the outcome
Farking joke
If they had have been booing Scott everyone would have known about it, they werenât.
It was all about the Umpires as it should have been.
5-1 if we beat Saints and Pies
What could have been
Geelong are a much much better side than they have been the last few years
Will be an incredibly tough game

They havenât won a country game yet i donât think.
Nothing more deflating than sitting down to watching the game after work, first cold beer of the eve in hand, and hearing the comms say at the opening bounce that Raz is a late out. I almost turned it off then and there.

The irony is the pelicans booing did so to bring attention to the poor umpiring, yet today every news article and discussion is about booing and not the cause of it! Muppets.

Trying watching it until 3am, with another hour of post game fury wind down, then having to get up and go to work.

Exactly, hence our club gets booed. I assume you arenât ok with that, but reality is we are viewed as cheats so letâs not be too hypocritical shall we.
the media love any kind of controversy, and if there isnât one they will create one. Hence the booing outrage

You see in the replay he clearly throws himself back for the free

The pies had to spend most of their petrol tix to stop the effectiveness of our playing game style in the first quarter. Which they did well. But the pies couldnât sustain it, they tired. Even though it was 9 scoring shots to 1, we stuck to our game strategy, and slowly but surely we got on top. If it were not for unusually high skill errors (some under little pressure) and awful umpiring we would have won. Iâm upbeat. The pies canât play much better than they did today. We can. We have the game and the cattle to be a massive threat this year.

Where do you get off, calling other people idiots for a non-violent expression of disapproval? Itâs virtually our only avenue of expression that the AFL takes notice of. Are you fer us or aginâ us?

There might be something in the fact that weagles ran over the top of the piesâ midfield in the GF, and again a few weeks ago, as we did yesterday. Pendlebury was sensational, but I thought we covered the rest. Didnât think treloar, beams or sideboob hurt us much.
We just need to stay fit and healthy and win enough games to play home finals. 2019 is wide open and there for the taking by the best victorian team, and at the moment we are as good as any.

It probably is a afl directive from thegary Ablett booing, to coach/players to say something to deter it. Wouldnât surprise.
Those guys think they can control everything.

Ep media creating a controversy rather than the real one.
Fans â â â â â â off with umpires, salty about the losss as think umpire may have effected the result.
90,000 people plus the players donât know the rules. Or the umpires werenât calling them for Essendon in the last quarter.
I know the booing was 90% the general umpiring against us, particularly in that last qtr, and 10% Pendles accentuating contact with that late high contact free, I just donât think we should have booed with the ferocity we did whilst a guy is trying to make a speech.
The umps made some mistakes, but the loss is on us.
Not Collingwood, and certainly not Pendlebury.
