From what I was enjoying on BF, yeah.
The melts weren't half as good as last week obviously so it wasn't as fulfilling this time.

The Pies up 27-12 in free kicks and there's still a quarter to go.
Funny how a side that is coached by one of our former assistants and copied a lot of our gamestyle can be so far up in frees whereas we were (and still are) last for frees for and worst for frees against. So much for the way we play excuse that gets dished out ::).

It wasn't just frees paid that assisted the Scum on every occasion, it was also the non-frees to the Bulldogs that got the Scum over the line. DeGoey pushes in the back & takes the mark - mark paid. Quaynor goes to ground in the last minute taking out the dog's player's legs - no free. Deliberate OOB disappeared when it suited only to be paid against the dogs a moment later ... it went on & on all night.
The dogs can't complain about free kick assists in general, but tonight's umpiring looked really suss! :thumbsdown

i watched the last half. Is it just me or am i the only one that hates watching these cheats, and the amount of favouritism that goes on in their games.
Fly is also turning into one big flog as well.

Yep. It was all a disgrace. The Pies ended up +19 in frees. No doubt it influenced the result in a game decided by a kick.
Effectively like having an extra player on the park which actually happened the night before in the Hawthorn game. The umps have again had a shocker.
ps. We've commented before about the frees we don't get as you mentioned JPT. The Dogs tonight found out how we feel. I would've loved Beveridge to go off in the post-game presser, but the coaches can't and won't do that.

You're not the only one Frankie. They are protected species with the umps.
The Pies' free kick differential is almost 1000 better than ours since 2017.
Collingwood +373

Usually the Bombers have a few false dawn early season wins before caving in the second half the season. This year they've set into crap mode from the beginning :lol.
As for the Crows, I know they haven't played anyone decent yet, but their forward line looks potent this year. 16 goals alone from their six forwards today.

From memory the bloke was running around in a game with broken ribs, a punctured lung and a ruptured spleen?
I bet one of his balls is bigger than your two combined mate.
Lots wrong and Melbourne and it's divine to see. Same with Carlton. Never thought I'd be looking at a wooden spoon but still enjoying the season so much hehe.

He's not "a pussy" as you put it
His courage on field cannot and should not be questioned
As Damo said certainly off field he's a strange unit
But I do agree with you he is part of the problem at the Dees.
He complained about how he got treated and said what he wanted. They did what he wanted tried to copy perhaps fabricate is a better word what other clubs have done (started by Richmond I might add) around "connection" and it has totally backfired.

i wonder have we ever received one of these from the afl, especially with the lynch incident?
-
Yes, the AFL said 'sorry' to the Crows, but so what? 'Sorry' is pretty cheap when you've been done over & lost a game because of it ...
Richmond fans know all about how cheap 'sorry' is ... while we STILL wait to see the promised definitive footage that proves a certain shot at goal was clearly a point .... :P
The Crows lost a game & 4 points, we lost a lot more than that & never even got a 'sorry' ...

Saints are one of the more impressive spoon contenders in recent years
Can cross them off the list .. hopefully they keep winning and stay above North

They were paying $2.68 pre-game and I honestly thought that's worth a punt, as a non-betting man. Wish I'd stuck $50 on them now.

The Hawks are Port's bunnies. A good result for us too as the more sides that stay above Norf the better it is for us.

They’ve beaten port and Geelong already
I don’t think they’re any good, but they are far from spoon contenders.
They won enough games by the end of round four to have that sorted.

Spoon is pretty much a lock for WCE.
We are bottom 4 if not bottom 2.
Doesn't look like North will finish last but we are surely looking at two top 5 picks you'd think.

What a load of complete and utter stuffing rubbish
DeGoey isn’t soft .. he ain’t Daicos .. and he was CLEARLY dragged to the ground
If that happened to a Richmond player and no free kick was paid you would be the first second third and fourth poster on here complaining about the umpires
Like for once, let’s get stuffing real
-
Mt didn't call de goey soft.
His post was 100% accurate. Anyone who would call either that a free needs glasses. It's closer
to being a free against for diving.

N Daicos is the most protected species in the AFL by a long, long way.
Might as well give him the Brownlow now, such is the love the unps have for him

Agree with FJ. Everyone was pushing and Elliot had a fist full of Berry's jumper. It was DeGoey who ran up to Berry and then he played for the free. Even Buckley and Matthews commentating thought there was nothing in it.
The Pies would be flag favourites right now. They don't need to pull that diving crap.
Merrett copped a fine for this as staging is a reportable offence.
https://www.afl.com.au/video/981540/merrett-cops-fine-for-staging-against-geelong
Staging can include, but is not limited to excessive exaggeration of contact in an unsportsmanlike manner. Staging is a Reportable Offence as it may:
» Affect umpires’ decision-making;
» Incite a melee; and/or
» Not be in the spirit of the game (unsportsmanlike).
https://resources.afl.com.au/afl/document/2024/03/13/bfe20552-9e6a-4464-88b6-509b31d77ed8/2024-AFL-Tribunal-Guidelines.pdf
Daicos especially ticked all 3 boxes and he should have been at least fined by the MRP given how blatant a dive it was as well as him being a regular offender. But of course the AFL once again play favourites.
-
If the finals were played now the Pies would win the flag :help. Got to hope they are peaking too soon and age will catch up with them by September.
The only good thing is Essendon were shown up again as being their usual mediocre selves :yep.
-
time to book september holidays to escape the daicos plaudits from the umpires and on GF day.
who is going to beat them? Freo. LOL
only chance is lions and i cant believe im saying this but i actually want blues at the pointy end to offer some competetion.

The umpire charity they get is pathetic :thumbsdown.
Last night another perfect example that Collingwood are umpired differently (Ironically it came against the other umpire darlings in Hawthorn).
Any other side that kicked the ball off the ground at HB straight over the boundary would be pinged for deliberate/insufficient intent. But not the Pies ::).
Then there was that dodgy free soon afterwards to Mihocek in front of goal (Lynch would kick a bag every week if a defender engaging contact with him was paid a free). Both plays resulted in the Pies getting two goals after half-time and ended the contest.
ps. Now I've said before the Pies this year are the clear premiership favourite. I hope I'm wrong come September, but right now I can't see anybody else getting near them. Which makes this umpire charity they get even worse. They don't even need it, yet the umps can't help themselves. As FJ said above in his post from a few weeks ago, you just want to turn off Collingwood games because it's so blatant and sickening.
pps. By the way, expect the return of the chicken wing tackle in coming weeks as getting your opponent on the ground and pinning his arm without the ball was paid HTB last night.

Hawks win thanks to some dubious one-sided umpiring (Williamson) and dumb decision making in wet conditions by the Crows in the last quarter. Having said that another side throws away a game with poor conversion.

Bomberblitz in meltdown once again :rollin.
The most cursed thing about Essendon is we can be an objectively terrible football team and somehow still be 10th on the ladder halfway through the season.
And we’re still 10th on the ladder.
Absolute pointless wins, earlier in the season.
We should be sitting 16th or 17th
Even on roids, we’d finish 8th and lose an elimination final - as a best case scenario
We aren’t a serious football club.
My preference is to deregister.
I just feel sorry for young Essendon fans if there even are any of those left these days.
Nearing almost 25 years of being complete and utter ■■■■ with no end in sight ...
You can’t get it any more wrong than Essendon has for the last two decades.

Soft, weak, crumble under pressure.

Just fold the club so we can all get on with life and stop wasting our time and energy
It's the softest team we've put on the park in the history of the club. They're far too nice. I hate everything about this team. How the @#$%&! does anyone pay money to watch this poo?
PUTRID PUTRID PUTRID.
Forget the players who won’t wanna come to the club….what coach (established or aspiring) will want to destroy their career drinking from the poisoned chalice that is the Carlton Football Club, filled to the brim with a cesspool of underperforming, unaccountable coach killers?
Another wasted year, definitely another false dawn, another coach gone and another Groundhog Day, seemingly lost in the abyss for yet another generation…

Everything wrong with umpiring right here. Collingwood player does a 720 with one arm free, play on. Duggan takes one step, wrapped up and hold the ball. Joke. Ball goes inside 50 and goal for Collingwood. #aflpieseagles

Ex-VFL Tiger Archie May with a quickfire 3 goal cameo in the 3rd qtr for Essendon vs the Suns.

The AFL is now more like two divisions with a 3-game gap between 9th and 10th. Plenty of one-sided matches this round between the top 9 vs bottom 9.

Old-fashion torp from Pittonet tonight :o.
https://x.com/7AFL/status/1943250981967253530

Yes it did that. But I really don’t like the way Rowell comes in towards the bounce by following the umpire in. It smacks of trying to use the umpire as a shield at a centre bounce. Anybody trying to tackle Rowell is then in danger of umpire contact themselves.
So Rowell has found a nice safe place at a centre bounce to avoid a close tagger, except it’s not really that safe …. it could cost him a Brownlow! ::)

Especially when compared to the NRL last night and the Rugby tonight where both matches went down to the final play (ps. Geez did the Wallabies choke! :facepalm).
When half the teams in the AFL have nothing to play for from the midpoint of the season then these one-sided games are no surprise. It's all made worse by stupid SHocking rules brought in since 2021 that have made the game tactically a worse spectacle and created a more unbalanced competition. It's effectively two divisions wrapped into one this year.
-
Last night was finally a top game of footy in primetime.
Anyway, Hawthorn now a big chance of missing the finals given they still have to play the Pies and Brisbane away in the last three rounds.

Some very ordinary umpiring (that 50m to Rankin, wtf) but overall a great game.
Hats off to Tex. He has aged well and is finishing his career is good form. Twinkle toes and clutch goals in the last.
-
Fly the arrogant prick resting players. Such a flog he has turned into.
gee it would be very lovely if these clowns have to travel.
-
The Pies are now even at risk of missing the top 4 altogether. Especially if they lose to Hawthorn next week. It would be hilarious if it's a repeat of 1992 where they missed the double chance by a narrow % and then got bundled out in an Elimination Final lol.

Tom Stewart was involved in this incident with Ollie Wines.

Let's see if the AFL and MRO remember they've told players they have a duty of care to their opponents and set a precedent of suspending players based on the capacity of their actions to cause injury this time

damo its all about consistency. I agree 100% its a nothing incident, but they aren't consistent.
The lynch and brody m incidents are a few examples. On one hand they say its about potential injury, duty of care this and that then on the other they say its all good nothing to see here.
They are a bunch of clowns and i have no doubt we get screwed over with a RFC tax where the pies and cats to name 2 dont.

Jai Newcombe has escaped any sanction after a huge collision with Jeremy Howe left the Collingwood defender out cold in Thursday night's clash.
https://www.afl.com.au/news/1383572/match-review-star-hawk-learns-fate-after-pie-kod-in-collision
Not saying Newcombe should have been suspended, but Mansell got 3 weeks for a similar head on collision ::).

Luamon Lual came from the ground after this contest involving Dylan Shiel and Mark O'Connor.
VIDEO: https://x.com/FOXFOOTY/status/1953768146613010592
Will the MRO suspend Shiel for what happened to his own teammate?
Speaking of Mansell, he has been the only player suspended so far for pushing an opponent into a contest.
-
Newcombe off as he should be but the Mansell suspension being the sole case is utter bee ess
-
Different rules apply to us. That is an absolute fact
-
Dylan Shiel has been sent straight to the Tribunal for a shove that put his Essendon teammate Luamon Lual in a dangerous position against Geelong on Friday night.
In a highly unusual case, Shiel has been cited by the Match Review Officer for rough conduct, despite his teammate - not an opponent - being the player he put in danger.
Shiel shoved Geelong's Mark O'Connor into Lual, who was mid-air attempting a high intercept mark.

In the Mansell one, lynch or the opponent could have been wiped out

fly that smug prick must be laughing tonight. Likely plays the crows without rankine.

Good old knee jerk AFL. When they make some of the rules, do they ever have someone who is the voice of reason? Dangerous tackle, 5 weeks. What if it's a fair tackle, but bad outcome? Still 5. Slur? 5 weeks. What if it's a big star and he will miss finals? 5 weeks.
This is worse case scenario for them, finals, top of the ladder team, one of the biggest stars in the comp, that's why it's dragging on so long, but they can't not go hard on him.
Riak Andrew. Who? 5 weeks. Jack Graham, meh, good ordinary player, 4 weeks. Will Powell, give him weeks, no one will notice. Rankine.... damn, he's not supposed to do this.
Should have always been a huge fine (financial sanctions always hurt players more than weeks) and an education course.
The next rule/regulation that will backfire on the AFL will be the pre-finals bye. Daicos, Neale, Jezza Cameron will have a preliminary final HIA and miss the GF. Should be a pre GF bye.

they are the biggest fools known to man. Snoop. All good he is a clean singer like Sinatra before his time. :lol
Rankine should get nothing just like each one of those men before him. Funny thing is you can call a kid in a playground or online much worse before they go off and neck themselves but on a footy field you cant call someone they aren't. Unless they actually are :shh
no wonder people call it gy AFL.

Adelaide superstar Izak Rankine could yet play in the 2025 Grand Final after the AFL finally handed down its sanction for a homophobic slur.
Rankine has been banned four games for directing a homophobic slur at a Collingwood player last Saturday.
It means if Adelaide loses its qualifying final but still makes the Grand Final, he would be eligible to return for the decider.

You are right with your the school yard analogy but in yhis case to the the letter of the law we are talking about a workplace. And IR laws you cannot say it and get away with it
What is pathetic is the final outcome, penalty
Just another example of the gutless and weak AFL flip flopping and making rules on the run.
Dunstall on Fox Footy last night was 100% correct. What does "compelling medical submission"? mean. He went onto say if they using mental health as the reason then what's to stop platers in the future using it to get out of a suspension?
And I just read on X (twitter) a great point someone has made. Adelaide when they weren't contending had no issue with Walker's 6 week ban for a racial slur but now that they are contending they have an issuecwith 5 weeks for a homophones slur.
balmy would be filthy with this carry on.

I think you might be very wrong. Think you might find he'd be bloody peeved with what Rankin did.

i very much doubt that. In my conversations with him he is very much old school and what happens on field stays on field.
In fact i would say he was front and centre in getting this watered down to 4.
On your first point it was absolutely wild the crap that was coming out of Dillons mouth. They are the biggest hypocritical organization in the country.
I don't put racial slurs directed at a blk man and this in the same breath, but that's me.
Rankine made a mistake in that he even apologised to Quaynor. If the shoe was on the other foot Eddie would be front and centre and i think Quaynor would have got off.

Balmy might be old school on a lot of things but when it comes to respecting people he's straight down the line and he'd be peeved, not a doubt in my mind. I doubt he was front and centre in anything. But let's agree to disagree
It doesn't matter that Rankine apologised, every player who's been rubbed out for homophobic slurs apologises. So please don't make it sound like he's done anything major there. Others have self reported, Rankine didn't. So therefore up until yesterday fail to self report and the penalty was 5 weeks
Whether you agree with the penalty or the entire situation is irrelevant. I am peeved because yet again the gutless AFL has set another precedent with their rules on the run crap.
I don't listen to what Dillon says because everything that comes out of his mouth is spin to suit the situation. He has zero consistency in his messaging on anything he speaks about. Which means he has zero credibility. He is a pathetic leader who is continually shown to be way out of his depth
But apart from that he's doing a stellar job.
-
If it was Lynch he would have gotten six weeks
-
Exactly Chuck. WP i think you misunderstood what i meant. I don't think Rankin should have apologised for anything, and i don't think anyone before him should have either.
lets be honest here if it was that important to do the right thing then why was it okay for a lions player to grab Mills balls. Is inappropriate touching less relevant in society than calling someone a fgt who clearly isn't.
The wokefl is littered with Hypocrisy, when it wants to (Lynch).
The whole thing is laughable and Balmy would be laughing how pathetic is. Dimma had similar thoughts the other night without actually saying.
-
What's even more ridiculous is that if someone within the AFL workplace decides to litigate the Employers can be vicariously liable under Victoria human rights legislation.
Vicarious liability: when an employer is found to be legally responsible for acts of discrimination, sexual harassment or victimisation of an employee.
For an employer to be found legally responsible, the act/s must have happened:
in the workplace, or
in connection with a person’s employment.

Dimma's "new toys" choked again and just handed the Pies back a top 4 spot and the double chance :thumbsdown.

Freo has ended the Dogs season (unless Gold Coast choke against Essendon on Wednesday).

Surprisingly entertaining few games in the final round.
And very stiff to think that WB will likely miss finals with a 14-9 record at 137%
Even more silly would be if WB had won today then GCS missed out with a 15-8 record.
I don't like the additional round personally. Would rather reign it back to 22 or less even.

even more odd. Graham/Baker too then?
if dimma had of stayed he would had us a few years behind now as he chased that flag. It was bad enough he got tt and hopper, but it could have been a lot worse.
anyone who begrudges either after what they did to our club has rocks in their head.
I also have no doubt in my mind they looked after us with that rioli trade.
The only one i have an issue with is Bolton, esp the way he played the last few years. Like a spoilt little brat.

WP has been quite clear about Rioli being the one that he's most disappointed in, because he took the good contract when things were going well, was aptly supported by the club as a kid, then left immediately when things got ordinary.
Graham and Baker were never on contracts of that length or value vs Rioli.
Graham went for the money, fair enough. Baker has family links to WA and likely wanted to finish his career at home, maybe even start a family etc.
Rioli just up and left with Dimma.
I agree with you re: Bolton.
One of the fellas on BF also noted that the 1st rounder went sent with Bolton became Murphy Reid, and they have our 3rd which we could use to get Kellaway.
So for Bolton we got:
Faull, Trainor, Hotton.
Alternatively we could have had:
Bolton, Reid, Kellaway (2025).
Could still be building a forward line around Armstrong, Sims, Fawcett.
But we'd have Reid/Bolton as smalls, quick mid hybrids, Kellaway pick sorted.
Interesting trade either way you look at it...
-
Thanks Andyy
Yes, I've been consistent in my view around the gang of 4 (Baker, Graham, Bolton and Rioli).
Both Rioli and Bolton signed contracts when things were great. As soon as things started going south they bailed. Ditto Graham. Baker I cut a bit of slack as he had said when he signed his last contract how tough a decision it was
Further regarding young Daniel, he said when he joined GC that he had decided to leave in March of last year after he caught up Dimma. Yes, he played his heart last year but the fact remains he bailed
As for Dimma I will always be grateful for what he did for our Club. But he left the list in a mess because he refused to play the kids, rather preferring to play his favourites. That set us back further than I realised
Finally, to see GC miss the finals would be brilliant because they are HQ's lovechild. They've been gifted so much and despite that they've continually stuffed up time and time again. One more time would be fitting
-
fair points. Can I ask someone in the know was Reid ever on our radar.
Fmd he looks like the kind of player we need. I don't want any more of the same player in these our first 2 picks
-
Well Dimma and his new toys are off to the their 1st final in Perth
