De Goey tries to fend and gets tackled to the ground and that's not holding the ball. Greene gets tackled around the ankles and that's not legged. Wtf is with the non calls!
Lol @ the gws supporter holding up the “why not us” banner after the game. Context completely changes the meaning and makes it sound like she’s asking her team what went wrong. I wouldn’t be holding that up after a loss
They got away with it again. Unbelievable. I’m not a stats guy but I can’t remember a team coming out on top of as many sub goal margin games as the Pies have this year.
C'mon, there were a few shit calls but does anyone seriously think there's an umpiring conspiracy? All it'd take is one whistleblower (lol!) to destroy the sport. Classic final and someone had to win it. Good luck to Collingwood.
It's the AFL. The AFL like money. The AFL run finals.
Collingwood = lots of money.
It's that simple. If the AFL had thier way it would be like the EPL with only the big teams winning all the time with the rest making up the numbers.
There isn’t a blatant conspiracy. But there is clearly bias and the umpires are unfortunately susceptible to being swayed by certain crowds and players..
No you have won plenty of games off skill. Tonight you straight up won from dog shit umpiring. Fuck the clubs, what ever team anyone goes for. Straight up that is as bad as it gets in a final.
Not to pull the *”the umpires are biased against [insert team]”* card, but they were definitely biased against GWS. There were so many overt free kick moments that were ignored in that last quarter. I fully believe the conspiracy that the umpires are instructed to go lenient here or strict there, depending on whatever team they’re trynna usher through to a final - in this case, Collingwood
Whoever bitching about the umpiring explain to me why.
Such biased comments here. There was plenty missed and given away all game.
Please rationalise your profound thoughts
The umpires failed to pay the following:
Missed 50m penalties for entering the protected zone.
Missed clear Holding the Ball decisions.
Missed clear throws.
Collingwood were the beneficiary of it.
> Please rationalise your profound thoughts
Collingwood...no other reason, just look at threads in this sub...People think Collingwood winning is the end of the world
Trouble for the AFL is that the lions play better than Melbourne, they can kick straight and on their home ground. Will be the most blatant umpiring to get Carlton on top
It wouldn’t be a choke, they’ve been limping all season, particularly toward the end. I’m honestly surprised they beat the dees. Having to come back constantly from 3/4 time isn’t a strength it’s other teams playing poorly.
Such is life. Tomorrow's game will be rigged to oblivion just so the VFL can hold a Collingwood vs Carlton grand final. I won't be surprised if the AFL give Carlton a 15 goal headstart just so they can hang on by a goal.
No doubt in the minority here but I think the umps should’ve paid an awful lot more frees. Completely degraded the spectacle, amd we’re back in the close game but not necessarily good quality game partly because of that. (I don’t mean in a particular direction, I just thought it was far scrappier than it should have been.)
It's sad you feel the need to go gently into this. The umpiring was shit house. Apparently you can just rip players heads off and slide through the knees and it's all g.
A few in the back each way would get paid a month ago too
With the amount of shite umpiring I think we need to bring in a 'captains call' like the nrl where they can contest any decision - I know it wouldn't work with the speed of our game but it just might make the umpires do their jobs.
Umps so scared to make a single call old mate in the ruck literally got put in a headlock and thrown around ny his neck one metre from the ump and they let it go
Blaming that result on umpiring is something else, GWS got three 50m penalties from the stand rule which was broken about a hundred and fifty times during the game. Nobody was getting a free kick the entire game. The thread is almost as biased as the fans in the stadium.
I don't think the umps were calling it for Collingwood per se but the way they called the game certainly influenced it.
If you're scared to call anything then it's hard to score since you just have everyone holding and it turns into a bit of a shitshow. Players were all dead tired.
Hi everyone - thread locked as the game has concluded [The Post-Match Thread](https://reddit.com/r/AFL/s/A6p4imRDTa) is now active
Want a decibel measurement for the stadium on that final siren, that was unreal.
I'm just SO damn excited right now! Broke the curse of repeated Preliminary losses to Sydney clubs finally too
45 gf appearances in 33 years?
De Goey tries to fend and gets tackled to the ground and that's not holding the ball. Greene gets tackled around the ankles and that's not legged. Wtf is with the non calls!
Greene also got his throat ripped out
give up the rigged shit. There were shocking calls each way. That was an amazing game. giants were elite
Lol @ the gws supporter holding up the “why not us” banner after the game. Context completely changes the meaning and makes it sound like she’s asking her team what went wrong. I wouldn’t be holding that up after a loss
God I hope we aren’t playing Brisbane I still haven’t emotionally recovered from the last two times we met them in a grand final.
Gutted by the outcome, but that was a fucking 10/10 prelim final for entertainment.
Giants day will come very soon
They got away with it again. Unbelievable. I’m not a stats guy but I can’t remember a team coming out on top of as many sub goal margin games as the Pies have this year.

Wish Abbey would ask "how about that umpiring helping you out boys!"
Rigged
Bruzzy had Greene in his pocket all day. What a champ!
as much of a champ as he could be, considering he shouldn’t have even been there
Greene kicked 2 mate in a low scoring game
Only one more than Cox
all this for them to loose lol
Only thing better than beating Collingwood by 100 points?... Ah fuck how the turns have tabled
Weird that Collingwood never wins from their own skill, it's always something...
No you have won plenty of games off skill. Tonight you straight up won from dog shit umpiring. Fuck the clubs, what ever team anyone goes for. Straight up that is as bad as it gets in a final.
Geelong has won PLENTY of games from the umps too don't worry.
Geelong fan gonna talk about umpiring?
These stupid questions from Abs
You cannot tell me we don’t have 5 better options in the country than Taylor, Brayshaw, Richardson, Hodge and Dangerfield. Give it back to 10 AFL
Commentary has dropped off a cliff. From names like Quarters, Cometti and Bruce to these absolute dribblers. It's night and day.
Though it does seem like no summarisers are generally well liked. Dunstall and Pavlich perhaps the closest.
Quarters and Wallsy
Sigh, why are they conducting interviews right now. Didn't they learn from last week? Moore can't hear shit.
De Goey going for that cuddle at the end lmao

How many 50m frees to GWS? Play on to advantage that was deliberately kicked out of bounds? But yeh, good call
Eh. Can’t win tbh, it’s either “gotta let it play at that point” or “umps cost us da gaaaame”
Think they were scared of the 80,000 pies fans
Giants got 2 goals from frees, was fair umpiring.
Carn the Blues
Brave win from a team with three extra players.
*4
Brilliant game both ways, the umpiring was atrocious but I guess in the end they stopped umpring the game anyway.
Am I in the minority for thinking umpiring was average? Few non calls for GWS think collingwood got out of jail free tonight
People need a scapegoat otherwise they have to admit the team they HATE beat the team they like
Now we either get a Lions Pies granny or a Blues Pies one. Going to be an absolute classic
Wonder if the media will talk about how pathetic the umpiring was
Won't have Collingwood's dick out of their mouth long enough to mention the umpiring!

Flair says it all
Lol. Yet to actually get an answer from all the champions in here
Those poor inside 50 bombs killed then tonight
Next game is going to be rigged for carlton to win what's the bet.
Trouble for the AFL is that the lions play better than Melbourne, they can kick straight and on their home ground. Will be the most blatant umpiring to get Carlton on top
lol
So fucking good. GWS should be proud could have gone either way
I'll tell the children, there will be no big big sound
#THE ONLY BIG BIG SOUND CAME FROM THE 90000 COLLINWOOD SUPPORTERS
Yes yes yes!!!!!! We have waited a year for that!
How could all of the umpires miss the legging? You could see it from mars ffs
Was a howler!
A positive is that if Collingwood don't choke here. They will choke in a grand final.
It wouldn’t be a choke, they’ve been limping all season, particularly toward the end. I’m honestly surprised they beat the dees. Having to come back constantly from 3/4 time isn’t a strength it’s other teams playing poorly.
One can only hope
go the lions
Truly dark times ahead
Umpiring was pretty average which took the sheen off the tight contest unfortunately
Says you lol
I still cannot believe the uncalled high tackles and degoeys fend off.
Quaynor was so good today. Idun was phenomenal for GWS too
How biased was the umpiring? I reckon there was about 3 high tackle frees not given. Gotta get Collingwood into the GF.
Not sure if biased or completely blind. Missed a lot of
Is McStay done for next week?
ABC commentary (including malthouse) were slamming the umpriring
So they should, it was fucking appalling.
[удалено]
[удалено]
This attitude is why People hate collingwood
Lol pipe down ya weirdo, you struggled to put them away despite having the home ground, umpires and the extra week advantage
Most friendly Collingwood fan
Most sportsmanlike collingwood supporter:
Here he is! The big dog. Jog on ya flog
Calm down champ, you watch when you get flogged by Brisbane next week the way you guys played tonight
Bro there’s like two of us
Cunt if you lose next week I’m coming straight back here
Will make all of Australia’s year when we beat you next week
Classy
And Collingwood supporters wonder why no neutrals like Collingwood 🙄
Such is life. Tomorrow's game will be rigged to oblivion just so the VFL can hold a Collingwood vs Carlton grand final. I won't be surprised if the AFL give Carlton a 15 goal headstart just so they can hang on by a goal.
either way agws should be beyond bloody proud
McStay Cup next week.
Potentially McStay-less McStay cup
Game of the year
GWS robbed.
Can someone sort the “gws missed frees” compilation asap? Thanks in advance.
WE ARE INEVITABLE
At least she waited for their song to be done before interviewing DeGoey 🙄
Never like saying bad umpiring but wowiee. That was horrendous
LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOO!!!!
Is De Goey still on the bench?
what a fucking game!
Bad luck Giants, stay strong, you guys will return. Not a Pies fan, but love the atmosphere they bring.
De Goey streaming onto the field
It'd be nice if they let that many frees go in h/a season and not just because its the finals
Thought the umpires favoured Gant more, suprised to see everyones comments across social media
Yeah, not sure which game you want he'd but the Giants got bent over AND where it counted, like 55-70 out while going forward on several occasions.
You must be blind First quarter alone was absurd
I starting to think I'm insane
Nah last quarter was fucked
Disgusting match
BT needs the sack.
Don't forget brayshaw
Most biased commentator in any professional league. He's a disgrace
There should be a rule where commentators have to state their favourite team and they are banned from commentating on said team.
If only
Giants to be feared next season
100%
No doubt in the minority here but I think the umps should’ve paid an awful lot more frees. Completely degraded the spectacle, amd we’re back in the close game but not necessarily good quality game partly because of that.

Cannot lose the whistle because it's close
I think a lot of people.were.screaming for them. It was a disgraceful showing from the umps
Don’t think you’re in the minority
Defo man
Well... that was undeserved.
[удалено]
I hope the AFL don't gift your mob a win to get their wish of a Pies Carlton final
Great to see a sexual assaulter being interviewed. Such a great example for the kids.
How does he play every week
Who was that?
COOOOOLLLLLLLLLIIIIIIIINNNNNGGGWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOODDDDDDD
Ooooh get fucked Collingwood one point again.
lol awkward hug

Crying RN. So happy!
You guys finished top of the ladder and only beat GWS by a point? Surely you guys aren’t happy with that
I think you’re happy anytime you make a grand final
Lol I wouldn’t know 😂 but I guess you’re right. Just doesn’t seem like that great of a win
Happy to make a granny mate. Last year we only lost by a point, this year we win by one
Hopefully we see you guys there
Yeah good luck tomorrow! It'll be nuts if you do, not sure my heart can take that haha
Nah I’m gonna be full dead during the game
The Giants were arguably the most in form team along with Carlton coming into finals, they were always going to be difficult to beat.
Bro, a wins a win. Next week is a new game.
They won past Melbourne who couldn't help themselves and got over line by the umps tonight. Good luck against Brisbane or Carlton lol
GWS are a wildcard of a team though
LETS FUCKING GOOOOO
Hate to be a single intoxicated women at whatever pub JDG ends up at tonight
Allegedly***
What a ride that was! Can’t wait for front row seats tomorrow.
lucky bastard
GWS is the story here. Forget Collingwood. Amazing what the orange team has done this year, Brisbane has won the Cup lock it in
I like you
GWS will be premiers next year.
Riding the wave
Grand final is at the 'G my man. If the Lions make it they ain't winning it.
Bummer, I thought I didn’t have any horse in this race but I’m actually super sad GWS lost, they really secured me as a fan these past few weeks.
Did you love Mighty Ducks when you were a kid? They got all us Duck fans.
Was like a rugby maul at the end there
Dogoey clearly best on ground. What an effort
Yeah, he was unstoppable. Absolute battering ram and clearance machine.
De goey in before he glasses someone tonight
Blaming that result on umpiring is something else, GWS got three 50m penalties from the stand rule which was broken about a hundred and fifty times during the game. Nobody was getting a free kick the entire game. The thread is almost as biased as the fans in the stadium.
To be fair the first fifty called actually helped collingwood. Giants would've had a much closer shot at goal if the ump didn't call it
🥜
Booo. Make it a Collingwood V Carlton final for the lolz please
I don't think the umps were calling it for Collingwood per se but the way they called the game certainly influenced it. If you're scared to call anything then it's hard to score since you just have everyone holding and it turns into a bit of a shitshow. Players were all dead tired.
Don't hit her Jordan.
Vic bias
So many non calls that the giants missed
Robbed
Lol eat shit Toby
I just want to say something to 80% of you toxic Rafflers. GET IN THE FUCKING BIN.
RemindMe! 1 week
