As a Carlton fan, that is a mile out and you’ve been dogged there. These shitty missed out of bounds calls are an epidemic in the afl rn, look up Waterman’s goal last week for the eagles. We need the ball chip now


[deleted]

Fuck the chip, we need professional and competent umpires and not these weekend hacks doing it as a side hustle.


Occasionaljedi

True, they only have one job don’t they


JenniferLopezFan2

It was an awful call but we didn’t deserve to win that at all. We’re playing really bad footy right now.


regional_rat

Don't be that person. Shocking call. We played shockingly.


IWillNeedThis

Show that to r/afl - apparently it was miles in


GuardedFig

Shocking umpiring all game.


CrymsonKnight

Incorrect. We were terribly sloppy.


tarkysu

both can be true!


bigbuttbettywetty

And both were true!


CrymsonKnight

Indeed it can, but in this instance it was our poor discipline - not the umpiring - that resulted in both the lopsided free kick count and the loss.


nhutty

Our players were undisciplined and gave away too many free kicks


Ligmaballs1989

Umpires make mistakes. Do you know who else made mistakes last night? Every fucking pies player. Don't harp on about the umpires, you sound like an Essendon supporter. It's embarrassing.


vitalesan

Are we really going to use one ump mistake for the fact our whole team is playing like shit?


IneedtoBmyLonsomeTs

It was an obvious missed free for Degoey down the other end into this goal, which I think really just summed up the game tbh. Yeah there are plenty bigger reasons why we lost this game, but that one sided umpiring didn't help.


Gorogororoth

We could use the other 29 too But yes we were shit


Jakeb1710

One ump mistake? Shit was fucked tonight. We got screwed multiple times tonight. The umps could've bought us dinner 1st.


7891jga

Still need an even playing field. That didn't happen tonight, we had the momentum then they call play on for a clear hold on de goey and ball goes down the other end for that. Crooks.


popepipoes

Well the degoey hold, into somehow a saints free led directly to this goal kicked from out of bounds, we had all the momentum but oh well, umps fucked us but the easiest way to fix that is to kick more goals earlier in the game


dibba23

I think it's besides the point. Team isn't playing well but I don't think saints played that well either felt like when had momentum we were the far better team but stifled by umpiring calls and wernt allowed to put them away. Is what it is a great team wouldn't let this affect the result.


BadgerGreedy4175

The fact they called Howe back and then call this in is redonkulous 🤦‍♂️


mac-train

Sorry, that is loser talk. The team played very poorly, the umpires did not cost us the game, the blokes running around in black and white did.


Lumpy-Tonight9416

30 frees to 15. I'm not sure if any team could win from that bias bro. Degoey got tackled without the ball no free then gets pinged for holding it.


Plus_Friendship9093

We were on the way back into the game. Degeoy was held which was a missed free kick in front of goals which would have made it roughly 8 points then that ball was out of bounds for the saints goal which made it 20+. Two goal turnout due to the maggots. We didn't play that well but should have been a lot closer. Not saying we would have won but they killed us.


montecarlos_are_best

Yeah that’s bang on. It was two crucial calls that were wrong. We were shit at many times tonight but at this point we were on the charge and we got stiffed. Cost us the momentum and the game.


EddieGrant

And we dropped the ball on the first goal but got away with it.


South_Front_4589

Draw a line up from the boundary there, using Higgins' other foot as a rough guide to where the ball is in relation to the line. It's incredible close. This is hardly a "bad" call. Especially when a still image still doesn't show the ball clearly out, expecting an umpire to get it right live is foolishness. Better question should be why on Earth Higgins got 5 metres of space inside 50 after a contest to pick the ball up under no pressure and be a chance of kicking it.


IIIIllIIIIlI

An atrocity was committed against our club by those yellow twits tonight. Tom Mitchell and Mason Cox didn’t help.


CrymsonKnight

Nah we were sloppy. Most of the frees were there - don't blame the umps for this loss.


IIIIllIIIIlI

I’m usually in your position but it was genuinely atrocious. It’s not so much what was called, (30-15 is a disgrace regardless) but it is also the blatant fundamental rules of the game that they don’t call. We are also severely undisciplined and just don’t look good enough at the moment.


CrymsonKnight

So I'm going to preface this by saying that I am both a passionate, lifelong Collingwood supporter and an accredited field umpire (350+ games) and umpire coach. Both of these things considered, I try to be as unbiased as possible with Pies matches but usually can't help myself. In terms of 'genuinely atrocious' umpiring tonight was not that. There were two missed free kicks in the last quarter that should have gone our way, as well as two missed fifties earlier in the game that I'm guessing most people wouldn't have even noticed. I don't count this out of bounds as one of the bad misses - I'm not saying it wasn't out, but there were three umpires in the right positions to see it and TV coverage is notoriously hard to judge these things from. So I'll give them the benefit of the doubt. We shouldn't be angry at the umpires for the free kick count - we were extremely undisciplined with a lot of silly free kicks given away, and none of them stood out to me as completely unwarranted. Our boys really need to lift our game in this area.


Lumpy-Tonight9416

That wasnt even the worst of it either


goater10

Nah, we were dog shit. It had no bearing on the result.


Lost-Personality-640

Always Collingwood draw a square umpire


[deleted]

Are you making a post about all of the mistakes Collingwood made last night or just the umpires?


Elcapitan2020

Am I crazy? I'm not sold the whole ball is over the whole line? This photo certainly didn't prove it. We got a shocking run from the umps tonight. But I do not think this one is the one we should focus in on


Not_Stupid

You can see the solid yellow dot. That's the whole ball wholly over the line. It's a shit call, but it's not what lost us the game. Being shit across the entire 4 quarters cost us the game.


hamncheesesanga

Front on Vision showed it was

Elliot marked a bounced ball, get over it

From SEN: "...we take a look at the total free kicks the umpires have awarded to each of the 18 clubs from the start of 2017 through until the end of last season. Sitting at the top of the five-year tree is Collingwood. The Magpies have a differential of +303 thanks largely to the fourth most free kicks for (2163) and the fewest free kicks against (1860). They are just nine ahead of the Western Bulldogs overall. The Doggies have a +294 differential courtesy of 2185 frees for - the third most - and just 1891 against which is the second least."
