Round 16 - the Meryl Streep games.

That game gave me horrific flashbacks of some of the Tige’s close losses; if GC were just a tiny bit smarter with some of their ball use in the last 10 minutes they would have held on to win.

It’s painful seeing the Scum eek out a win whilst he Tiges have managed to not get it done several times already this year, after being in winning positions.
 
Considering they train in those conditions. They absolutely butchered it tonight.
They were the GC of the last 10 years.
Fken useless smoothered with some very ordinary players.
Collins is nothing more then a bush footballer.
Chol & Casboult are taking the *smile*.
There's about another 4-5 -that are just VFL quality. Rankin, Anderson, Ballard are all OK Rowell not convinced he is quality with the ball, another butcher.
Not happy

That could be a pyrrhic victory for Collingwood if Moore is out for the season.
 
If they wanna put the whistle away, no problems. It's infuriating, but hey, always happens cos umpires are spineless.

But you can't ignore 3 blatant free kicks to GC and then call a dubious HTB in a millisecond against them.

Umpiring is affecting way too many results

Don't think we are at that level just yet and teams have caught us this year. Bottom 8 for mine.

Edit. Bottom of the top 8

Thought Ellis wasn't terrible. Had some good moments. Markov fumbled every ball that was under any pressure all night. Mabs horrible. Body language sooky. I reckon the Suns have overachieved with their list and King injured, and its a testimony to Miller who carries them. So many rejects and journeymen. I reckon Rankine is frustrated.
 
Can’t believe people wanting the Saints to win. We wanted Carlton to win, not St Failure.
Nah, we're in touch with Blues now (assuming we beat WC). And our percentage is a lot better. Saints will be equal on points but much poorer percentage than us and their draw is pretty bad, still have to play Fremantle, Cats, Lions, Swans and Bulldogs in their last 7.

Wow, noble takes on two players gets caught in forward 50 with less than 2 mins remaining and ball up. Would've kicked to tie up the game.
Then 30 secs later degoey gets caught on wing/half-forward and should've been GC free, but the ump balls it up.

Then with 50 odd secs, left in the game witts hardly touches the ball on the wing near the centre square and gets pinged = robbery.

It helps when the 3 pricks are in your corner.
Considering Collingwood were playing away they got the rub of the green all night and then they rubbed salt into it in the last 5 minutes when Gc caught Noble, Crisp and Dacios and all were called play on.
Even meatloaf said 'that's fken holding the ball' when Noble got caught

Not in my personal opinion. You secure a base FIRST ie actually getting into the 8 first before worrying about loftier ambitions of finishing top 4 or whatever especially when you’ve lost or blown as many games as we have.

Right now we’re in a battle with a bunch of teams to just make the 8. We need those teams to lose, not win. St Kilda is one of them.

If we don’t make the finals from here,with the run we have, it will be a massive failure.

The pricks seem to get the rub of the green every week regardless where they are playing its outrageous the way they get looked after.

I want change if that happens.
I want retirements and delisting. And a massive trade period.
I couldn't handle us going into the draft again

Ellis only had 2 or 3 disposals in the first half. Not the usual Ellis. Thought Markov was pretty good, 6 tackles to boot. Chol my opinion hasn't change, glad he's with GC.
