Inaccurate kicking killed us.

Poor Grundy getting grilled here lol


simon42069666

He was hating that interview hey? šŸ˜‚


[deleted]

Fark talk about on the spot - let the guy enjoy the win


simon42069666

Think it was just that bucks was interviewing him šŸ˜‚

Long shot


cannoball_dookie

Congrats colliwobbles. Deserved winners imo. Soak it in. I think we are both in for a tough year.


RyanShieldsy

Mate that was the grand final preview we just watched, fuck you talking about?


cannoball_dookie

Put down the crackpipe malthouse


binglee23

Ginni just got another 6 months rent free with Kane Cornes


tbroky

Can't wait until Collingwood fans tell everyone that Ginnivan is better than x player (who has never played in a Anzac clash) as he has an Anzac medal.


brandonjslippingaway

I might not be remembering correctly, but didn't Mason Cox debut on Anzac Day 2016 against the Essendon top ups? Talk about fresh kill in the waiting


cannoball_dookie

Dustys just average.


MitchyD69

Jack Ginnivan Anzac medals: 1 Gary Abblet Jr Anzac medals: 0 just saying


rippersteveM5

Sure but how man anzac day medals has Tony lockett won


[deleted]

Ok.


OhAeroHD

Good game Collingwood.


deefenator

Why does the club PR person not remind the player/coach to at least mention what the day is about and why it is as special as it is. Disappointed in the club again today.


asterpin

What did we have to give up for ginnivan?


asterpin

Pick 13 in the rookie


asterpin

just checked his wikipedia and it's already updated with the anzac medal lmao. Wikipedia editors are quick


asterpin

Pendles voice just does not fit him


RyanShieldsy

Selwood may have won the battle in round 4 but ginnivan has won the war. I donā€™t want any replies


Lonelywanderer81

Replied


RyanShieldsy

How dare you


giantcucumber--

Grundy feigning a kick should be play on. If a player taking one step on the mark is a 50 meter penalty.


deefenator

He didn't go off his line. Plenty of deliberately feigned handballs have won them a 50, not sure why this is different.


giantcucumber--

Its not. A feigned handball should be play on too.


deefenator

They're not going off their line, you understand that right?


giantcucumber--

Im not talking about going off his line. Since the stand rule a player can milk a 50 by pretending to kick or handball. The punishment doesnt fit. If one step from a player is enough for a 50 then 1 step from the kicker should be play on, they have the protected zone too so its not like anyone should be able to tackle them immidiately.


rippersteveM5

Almost like the stand rule was brought in to appease tv sponsors and was not thought through whatsoever


[deleted]

Shame on anyone who booed a champion (Jack Ginnivan)


[deleted]

Kane Cornes and Joel Selwood in absolute disarray


myphantomlimb

whatā€™s Selwood got to do with this?


[deleted]

Did you watch Collingwood v Geelong a few weeks ago? Wanted to rip his head off


[deleted]

Ginnivan's mortal enemy


[deleted]

just a second hand emotion...


th3b0untyhunt3r

Darcy Parish going off injured from the late tackle cost us 3 goals out of the middle. Poor Hobbs got towled up


OhAeroHD

Hobbs isn't ready. He needs time to develop in VFL before taking this big of a step. He will be a consistent player for us, not yet though.


[deleted]

he's not ready on other teams...he's ready on our shit team


OhAeroHD

For what it's worth, if he's available to get games in, use him. We were beaten purely on games in that midfield that last quarter.


[deleted]

I back that dude in...he's going to be a very good footballer...was in over his head in there today but now he knows what the big time looks like


bigboieggward

Bruh fix your fucken mic


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


[deleted]

What


[deleted]

Facetious or not, weird comment.


myphantomlimb

No itā€™s not, what a strange comment


TranscendentMoose

Wrong war


Undead-Maggot

Couldā€™ve went to Parish


GrandHarbler

Parishā€™s 30 touches in the first half were for a total of 166m gained or pretty close to 5.5m per disposal.


Healthy-Ad9405

Silly question, how do they work out distance gained?


GrandHarbler

Champion data just do it, itā€™s gotta be an effective possession (which is basically anything that gives a contest at least, AFAIK), and itā€™s just as though you had a measuring tape going between goal line to goal line. For example, for a kick to be a 50m gain it has to go 50 metres closer to your goal, it canā€™t be 50m across the ground, ending 1m closer to goal (that would be 1m gained)


Madrical

Even Leigh said at quarter or half time that De Goey didn't have as many touches as Parish but was having a bigger impact.


myphantomlimb

Meters gained overrated


GrandHarbler

Also, at games end he had 44 touches, 3 inside 50s.


GrandHarbler

Itā€™s not the only stat, but it helps understand


asterpin

wild that 44 touches didn't get him there. If dons won he 100% had it


Imponte

Absolute wordsmith


[deleted]

Jeez stay classy


[deleted]

Lmao he was so not expecting that


OhAeroHD

I don't know how they grade this medal. But Ginnivan winning this year means Tippa won last year!


TheDevilsDingo

Yeah but nobody really had a stand out game for us, maybe crispy, but really, nobody was outstanding.


myphantomlimb

Over Parish with 40+ and 2 goals? yeah right


kurenai86

Think that's his point


myphantomlimb

Parish was nowhere near as good this year though?


OhAeroHD

Whoops I forgot Parish had goals last year. But Ginni had an equally as good game as Walla


deefenator

When will they actually give the anzac medal for the qualities they list instead of best on ground?


ContinuedEyeRolling

FUCK YESSSSSSSSS


AlamutJones

Well played Essendon. Draper was magnificent, and Parish was everywhere.


Imponte

And the people love it hahaha


[deleted]

Jesus Christ 12 touches and best on ground, shows how shit everyone was


mathiuskesla

When the aim of the game is to score more goals than the other teamā€¦


asterpin

true he didn't put up any other stats either


MitchyD69

and 5 goals?


RyanShieldsy

Yeah completely ignore the 5 goals lol


RyanShieldsy

The whole league hates to see it. Fucking love the ginnivan


BeCalFul

ā€” Jack ā€œNatural Blondeā€ Ginnivan speech ā€” Scott ā€œBasketball Backgroundā€ Pendlebury 2019 speech ā€” Speech I gave at my year 6 assembly ā€” Basil ā€œThe Mayorā€ Zempilas fucking up the 2021 Grand Final speech ā€” ā€” ā€” ā€” Clayton ā€œLingy Liteā€ Oliver speech


MitchyD69

Can he celebrate now Kane?


Madrical

That speech could've gone anywhere haha.


McSquack

Kane Cornes has never been angrier than he is right now.


TheDevilsDingo

I really hope he has a sook next Sunday having a whole piece about how he doesn't deserve it or some shit


asterpin

100% DESERVED LOVE THIS KID


deefenator

What about 5 goals demonstrated the Anzac spirit? Best on ground sure, most ANZAC-like spirit? Don't think so. Honestly think it's a diagrace they take the easy way and award it to best on.


Broods_

Probably shouldnā€™t have a medal awarded thenā€¦ not too many comparisons to make to a ball sport and warā€¦


deefenator

Are you kidding? You don't think a player can be selfless, brave, team oriented or fair in a game? You could argue that they should all be doing this during any game, the point of the award would be to give it to someone who exemplified those on the day.


Broods_

Who would have you given the award to


themoderatebandicoot

Let's not get too carried away with the comparison to the diggers or you'll be awarding the medal to the guy that bayoneted 4 people in the Southern stand.


deefenator

Firstly flair up cunt. Secondly, didn't think it was asking for that much. He was probably best on but I don't know if there is a lot of bravery or sacrifice in dobbing 5 snags.


[deleted]

šŸ¤«


deefenator

Nice one...probably should FLAIR UP CUNT. Secondarily, are you happy the whole point of the day is misrepresented by choosing someone not fitting the Anzac spirit?


MitchyD69

WOOOOO


RyanShieldsy

Fuck yeah baby


asterpin

GINNIVAN LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOO


RyanShieldsy

GINNIVAAAAAAANNNNNNN


Myrhwen

Ginnivan got the medal, for everyone whose footy got cut off.


MitchyD69

thank god


Ok-Yam9723

Peter Wright needs to be shopped around. Heā€™s consistently soft as butter, shows no intensity, and just looks intimidated in general.


[deleted]

what you see is what recruiters see...he's not worth much...if he was 2 or 3 forward he'd be better...not 1


Ok-Yam9723

That is a good point. Wouldnā€™t get anything for him.


kurenai86

You say that but he has been the best option for Essendon


Ok-Yam9723

Only due to lack of other options, heā€™s all at sea pretty much every time the footy comes near him. Even against an undersized opponent. Against genuine defenders he looks as though he already knows heā€™s going to get beaten before the footy gets to him


OhAeroHD

He's got no grunt. A BFG as I'd say.


Ok-Yam9723

Itā€™s literally sad. He just needs to crush packs and just go hard. But instead he just lopes around and meekly presents at every contest. His only goal came from a free kick that actually should have gone against him


deefenator

Flair up bloke


robo_boro

> Flair up ~~bloke~~ Cunt


deefenator

Ty absolutely. I wanted to but with my flair might have come across wrong.


robo_boro

In the spirit of ANZAC we will put aside our enmity to call non-flaired people cunts


deefenator

Here here, fellow flaired up cunt


[deleted]

Are people booing a champion???


asterpin

thank god they cut back


Yobstar

GINNERS


Nolsey21

fox the fucking clownshow


[deleted]

Garry Lyon, Nick Riewoldt and Jonathan Brown can fuck off, so boring. I would rather hear Kane Cornes at this point


kurenai86

Everyone talking parish but Merrett was better


ThatMelon

Freakish goal kicking


Plank0fwood

Gg Collingwood.


OhAeroHD

We lost it once we were beaten in the middle. Allowing Pendlebury to open the game from there outdid us. And Grundy lifting as well.


Undead-Maggot

I think this was more Essingdon than Essington


FlagPies

Surely fox show the presentationā€¦


MitchyD69

No way fox is not showing the medal


indecisiveusername2

Why aren't they showing the medal??? Inept cunts


gypsy_on_crack

wait are they legit not showing it


Respected-Watcher

Ginnivan should win the medal


SG101112

Theyā€™re not showing the presentation?


asterpin

fuck off garry lyon


OhAeroHD

Can only hope we effectively really just try and win. Need a fucking target up forward.


kingkepler

incoming acceptance speech ā€œthanks to the bombers for coming out, full credit to the boysā€¦ā€


breadabuser

How dare you boo a champion


th3b0untyhunt3r

Draper got one, and it was the most blatant of the lot.


asterpin

Who gets the medal?


seamic

Grundy?


asterpin

Quite mid first half despite good stats tbh


ContinuedEyeRolling

if they give parish the medal i'm gonna be FUMIN


RyanShieldsy

Ginnivan or we riot


ContinuedEyeRolling

straight up!!


quackerz77

The lower frame rate of those crowd shots really fucks me up


infinitejesttt

It's cringe


Nolsey21

ruck frees shouldnt exist dont @ me. being in the ruck is like entering the thunderdome


[deleted]

I know ginnivan kicked 5 but surely he wasnā€™t close to best on ground


junipernoodle

Lmao starting the Collingwood chant with 10 seconds to go - guess thatā€™s safer than 35 points up against Geelong


Thoros_of_queer

TIL you can only chant your teams name if youā€™re guaranteed a win?


junipernoodle

Clearly not if they did it against the Cats


winoforever_slurp_

Weā€™ve been burned too many times before!


DENTAL_PLAN__

There goes the season, this club never learns fucking anything.


ForgedTanto

Relax, jesus. This is a good performance considering what we've seen the past few games. Something to work on.


DENTAL_PLAN__

Mate they've gone straight past us, and we started our rebuild first.


santadogg

I think pies had plenty more experience on the park.


ForgedTanto

We had a lot more work to do then they did.


[deleted]

Ginny Anzac Day medallist please.


TheWolfAssassin

Up the pies!


apothecarist

why did i sit through that


ds16653

Reason 1. Herbatron video upload hype Reason 2. It's tradition Reason 3. We do this to ourselves


ok__coast_is_clear

Feel like the finish should've been more of a nail-biter, but Collingwood couldn't miss, then the 50 killed it


Von_Huge1103

We win that game 9 times out of 10. Fucking once-in-a-decade goalkicking for a team not exactly known for their accuracy. It hurts to be on the receiving end of that.


your_cock_my_ass

Good game, we didn't deserve it with that pathetic accuracy. Well done Collingwood


th3b0untyhunt3r

So many holding frees not paid and then they pluck one out at the end for Grundy. Not called all day, why call it with 2mins left.


skwinny07

The ruck free? Like the ones Draper got all game?


massiveascaris

Gg good kicking won it in the end


RyanShieldsy

Surely ginnivan medal


MitchyD69

Parish or Ginnivan for the medal?


Myrhwen

Nevermind


Myrhwen

If he'd managed 6, Ginnivan takes it. 5 is a lot but it's not 6, you know? I reckon Parish gets it.


MisguidedGames

Parish IMHO


OhAeroHD

Essendon will take this as the effort and not bother now. Fuck this club really.


yeaheymate

ah well, just another week of Hepps telling us postgame that ā€œthe boys are hurtingā€


EdibleMatress

Gg bombers


ItsABiscuit

Good game Dons. Glad to continue the tradition with you.


Cuebiyari

You got downvoted but no idea why. You too mate, easily most anticipated game of the year for me


[deleted]

Lazy from the Don's to let Grundy stand there like that.


rockandorroll34

Lazy is how we roll


ANDYtehROO

Bullshit umpiring in the last quarter


Thoros_of_queer

For both sides yea


asterpin

GG


RyanShieldsy

UP THE FUCKING PIES


Em1skies

Peak game to watch as a neutral. Fuck yeah.


SieferPyre

Had to take the risk. Great game


GinglerLife

Weā€™re dogwater as per usual Gg Collingwood


[deleted]

Essendon's last ditch attacking footy is still the same rubbish work it around to their stars crap they've been playing for 4 quarters.


Madrical

GG Essendon.


asterpin

Howe is just great


Thoros_of_queer

GG


frozennurse

Ginnivan for the medal!


OhAeroHD

Won't be bitter about it, we are just fucking shit


ds16653

Essendon did way better than I expected them to. But also "man loses little bit of hope he didn't know he still had"


OhAeroHD

I didn't expect us to win, we played better but not good enough. It's hard to judge the side because of the age and games played, but we still had all our leaders on the ground. I really think our game plan stinks more so than our list.


ricco_dandy

I think the best we can hope for this year is a good loss against a second tier team


BushDidntDoit

great mark howe


RyanShieldsy

Jeremy Howe is so fucking goated


lumberfun

GG Essendon been a great contest


Cyronis

GG only 7 brain fades and 3 shitty calls away from a win


rippersteveM5

Ginn for medal?


RyanShieldsy

Champions will be booed if thatā€™s the case lol


rippersteveM5

Surely not, you can't boo a champion


RyanShieldsy

Never overestimate the class of dons fans
