Hugh moral booster as always under pressure. Nice "cameo" by Sheed in similar goal to GF. Glad TV didn't spotlight Eddie but commentators always has Magpies well in the game..
Should be primed for the Derby.

Maggies basically ou[tplayed all night. Always seemed more Eagles players than maggies players at the contest. The foot skills of the Eagles are excellent, as is they system they play.
Umpiring this whole ROUND [ thus far has been putrid

Hope you are not referring to that "taking the legs" penalty.
This rule is pathetic BUT is the rule. It was brought in after ONE player (Garry Rowan) had his leg broken . Probably the first time in over 100 years. I keep thinking why haven't coach tell players to fall over any player on the ground & get a FREE kick. The Umpire blew the whistle & pointed for the free. The Collingwood player took NO notice & tossed it to his team mate. This is deliberate timer wasting.. It was the correct decision for the incident.
I agree many others were dubious ( which was a scratching at Sydney earlier in the day)..

Actually yes the taking the legs away was ( IMHO) meant for a severe sliding tackle as what happened to Rohan IN THE WET , if i recall. Commonsense should have prevailed, BUT no, the umps have no feel for the game. Interpretations ALL WEEKEND have been terrible.. The 50 for a mere and i mean mere holding on afer a mark was also a joke. Dont care what side was affected, it just kills the game.
anyways i digress, on another aside, i can understand ( BUT SEVERLY DISAGREE) with booing Gaff.
What i cant understand is why boo Sheed, he did no wrong or has no "tosser"factor about him. Fans these days have no idea ( IMHO)

I think Collingwood supporters wouldn't have a clue on who they play or why they boo. They are feral.

Did you see one of the stats on the Collingwood crowd? 50,000 of them at the game that totaled 16 IQ points. Apparently, it was so high because there was a doctor and a lawyer there supporting the pies.

Bloody commentators on tv peed me right off, I had to turn off the sound and switch 91.3 on - a very unbiased call there. Things is, no one like the sliding rule, but IT IS THE RULE! This crap about using “common sense” is a landmine. What’s common sense to one is crap to another. I thought Richo was going to start crying. Jeepers, some things never change, Richo was a big girls blouse on the field and he’s a big girls blouse behind the microphone.
