I Hate Collingwood

Fair call from Horse. What's (just) left unsaid is that the coach whose team benefited *enormously* last year from dubious umpiring in the final two games should probably STFU.

And what a superb job did Longmire do in calling out the Colllingwood coach.
Not only did Fly show himself to be a poor and graceless loser, he was clearly unable to grasp for clear inference around his comments. He has openly said that he expects to be umpired more favourably than the opposition when playing at home. To take such an entitled position is on him - not the umpires ( no matter how poor they can be). Extraordinary. And pathetic

I think Fly's sometimes tetchy and irritable press conferences this year show that he is feeling the pressure for the first time in his senior coaching career, and it's getting to him.

I’m starting to think that McCrae is one of those pretend nice guys…you know the ones…very sweet and nice when things go your way but the opposite when it doesn’t….while we’re at it Leppa isn’t better but doesn’t pretend. The one with class is Kingsley.

Well said Horse.
The filth are so bloody entitled, they refuse to wear a proper alternative jumper.
They live in fantasy land, I remember when Ed was President and they were playing Grand Finals against Interstate Teams and him on the TV urging all Victorians to get behind them.
Captain Blood expressed it best, he hated them that much he refused to watch Black and White TV.

The AFL keep messaging about respecting Umpires yet they never really do anything about it.
A hefty fine and or holiday would get the message across.

Massive Sydney bias on show.
Fly absolutely correct.
50 every day

The 2 deliberates were nonsence.

And yes....multiple umpiring decisions are rubbish in every game.

Where the game was played was not the issue..that is not what Fly meant...who is playing who is what matters...and is was Sydney that needed AFL help not to lose.
The game being played in Sydney simply doubled down on that imperative.
Same happened to us Prestia/Warner decision.

Remember..AFL wants Northern team success badly. Umpiring decision bias via ear piece instruction is the perfect vehicle.
..this is what Fly is saying. He is correct!

Had the maggot called STAND at the time? Sydaknee player fudged his momentum after the attempt to get to the spoil as is done at every opportunity during games, it's then up to the maggot to call the player back to the point of the mark. Did Fly bleat n moan after his two players ran way over the mark in the game against #Lolnorf, *smile* no, he'd have sat back n chortled because it saved them a loss. Colonwood for years has been top three of the kissed on the *smile* recipients of umpiring favour, way beyond time they copped a halfway dodgy call against them. More than likely that the maggots will be bending over n fawning all over Colonwood for whatever next few games they get to play as they n the AFL will be desperate to make amends n appease the filth.

I know some hold McCrae in high regard.
And fair enough, but I’m not buying it.

Nope.
Pies got their flag so AFL have moved on.
Swans player delibetately ran 5- 10 meters over the mark ... to prevent a quick play On...50 meters every time...any previous decisions are irrelevant....refused to pay it. Ump does not have to call stand.
100% 50 meters....ignored by umps.
X2 deliberate oob...total nonsence.
Deliberate Swans benefit...Sydney flag next box to be ticked .
Next in line..Giants.
Its all about revenue.
