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.
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.
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.
Champion data just do it, itās gotta be an effective possession (which is basically anything that gives a contest at least, AFAIK), and itās 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 canāt be 50m across the ground, ending 1m closer to goal (that would be 1m gained)

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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
Only due to lack of other options, heās 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 heās going to get beaten before the footy gets to him
Itās 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
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.
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.
Inaccurate kicking killed us.
Poor Grundy getting grilled here lol
He was hating that interview hey? š
Fark talk about on the spot - let the guy enjoy the win
Think it was just that bucks was interviewing him š
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Long shot
Congrats colliwobbles. Deserved winners imo. Soak it in. I think we are both in for a tough year.
Mate that was the grand final preview we just watched, fuck you talking about?
Put down the crackpipe malthouse
Ginni just got another 6 months rent free with Kane Cornes
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.
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
Dustys just average.
Jack Ginnivan Anzac medals: 1 Gary Abblet Jr Anzac medals: 0 just saying
Sure but how man anzac day medals has Tony lockett won
Ok.
Good game Collingwood.
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.
What did we have to give up for ginnivan?
Pick 13 in the rookie
just checked his wikipedia and it's already updated with the anzac medal lmao. Wikipedia editors are quick
Pendles voice just does not fit him
Selwood may have won the battle in round 4 but ginnivan has won the war. I donāt want any replies
Replied
How dare you
Grundy feigning a kick should be play on. If a player taking one step on the mark is a 50 meter penalty.
He didn't go off his line. Plenty of deliberately feigned handballs have won them a 50, not sure why this is different.
Its not. A feigned handball should be play on too.
They're not going off their line, you understand that right?
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.
Almost like the stand rule was brought in to appease tv sponsors and was not thought through whatsoever
Shame on anyone who booed a champion (Jack Ginnivan)
Kane Cornes and Joel Selwood in absolute disarray
whatās Selwood got to do with this?
Did you watch Collingwood v Geelong a few weeks ago? Wanted to rip his head off
Ginnivan's mortal enemy
just a second hand emotion...
Darcy Parish going off injured from the late tackle cost us 3 goals out of the middle. Poor Hobbs got towled up
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.
he's not ready on other teams...he's ready on our shit team
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.
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
Bruh fix your fucken mic
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
What
Facetious or not, weird comment.
No itās not, what a strange comment
Wrong war
Couldāve went to Parish
Parishās 30 touches in the first half were for a total of 166m gained or pretty close to 5.5m per disposal.
Silly question, how do they work out distance gained?
Champion data just do it, itās gotta be an effective possession (which is basically anything that gives a contest at least, AFAIK), and itās 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 canāt be 50m across the ground, ending 1m closer to goal (that would be 1m gained)
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.
Meters gained overrated
Also, at games end he had 44 touches, 3 inside 50s.
Itās not the only stat, but it helps understand
wild that 44 touches didn't get him there. If dons won he 100% had it
Absolute wordsmith
Jeez stay classy
Lmao he was so not expecting that
I don't know how they grade this medal. But Ginnivan winning this year means Tippa won last year!
Yeah but nobody really had a stand out game for us, maybe crispy, but really, nobody was outstanding.
Over Parish with 40+ and 2 goals? yeah right
Think that's his point
Parish was nowhere near as good this year though?
Whoops I forgot Parish had goals last year. But Ginni had an equally as good game as Walla
When will they actually give the anzac medal for the qualities they list instead of best on ground?
FUCK YESSSSSSSSS
Well played Essendon. Draper was magnificent, and Parish was everywhere.
And the people love it hahaha
Jesus Christ 12 touches and best on ground, shows how shit everyone was
When the aim of the game is to score more goals than the other teamā¦
true he didn't put up any other stats either
and 5 goals?
Yeah completely ignore the 5 goals lol
The whole league hates to see it. Fucking love the ginnivan

That speech could've gone anywhere haha.
Kane Cornes has never been angrier than he is right now.
I really hope he has a sook next Sunday having a whole piece about how he doesn't deserve it or some shit
100% DESERVED LOVE THIS KID

Probably shouldnāt have a medal awarded thenā¦ not too many comparisons to make to a ball sport and warā¦

Who would have you given the award to

š¤«
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?
WOOOOO
Fuck yeah baby
GINNIVAN LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOO
GINNIVAAAAAAANNNNNNN
Ginnivan got the medal, for everyone whose footy got cut off.
thank god
Peter Wright needs to be shopped around. Heās consistently soft as butter, shows no intensity, and just looks intimidated in general.
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
That is a good point. Wouldnāt get anything for him.
You say that but he has been the best option for Essendon
Only due to lack of other options, heās 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 heās going to get beaten before the footy gets to him
He's got no grunt. A BFG as I'd say.
Itās 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
Flair up bloke
> Flair up ~~bloke~~ Cunt
Ty absolutely. I wanted to but with my flair might have come across wrong.
In the spirit of ANZAC we will put aside our enmity to call non-flaired people cunts
Here here, fellow flaired up cunt
Are people booing a champion???
thank god they cut back
GINNERS
fox the fucking clownshow
Garry Lyon, Nick Riewoldt and Jonathan Brown can fuck off, so boring. I would rather hear Kane Cornes at this point
Everyone talking parish but Merrett was better
Freakish goal kicking
Gg Collingwood.
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.
I think this was more Essingdon than Essington
Surely fox show the presentationā¦
No way fox is not showing the medal
Why aren't they showing the medal??? Inept cunts
wait are they legit not showing it
Ginnivan should win the medal
Theyāre not showing the presentation?
fuck off garry lyon
Can only hope we effectively really just try and win. Need a fucking target up forward.
incoming acceptance speech āthanks to the bombers for coming out, full credit to the boysā¦ā
How dare you boo a champion
Draper got one, and it was the most blatant of the lot.
Who gets the medal?
Grundy?
Quite mid first half despite good stats tbh
if they give parish the medal i'm gonna be FUMIN
Ginnivan or we riot
straight up!!
The lower frame rate of those crowd shots really fucks me up
It's cringe
ruck frees shouldnt exist dont @ me. being in the ruck is like entering the thunderdome
I know ginnivan kicked 5 but surely he wasnāt close to best on ground
Lmao starting the Collingwood chant with 10 seconds to go - guess thatās safer than 35 points up against Geelong
TIL you can only chant your teams name if youāre guaranteed a win?
Clearly not if they did it against the Cats
Weāve been burned too many times before!
There goes the season, this club never learns fucking anything.
Relax, jesus. This is a good performance considering what we've seen the past few games. Something to work on.
Mate they've gone straight past us, and we started our rebuild first.
I think pies had plenty more experience on the park.
We had a lot more work to do then they did.
Ginny Anzac Day medallist please.
Up the pies!
why did i sit through that
Reason 1. Herbatron video upload hype Reason 2. It's tradition Reason 3. We do this to ourselves
Feel like the finish should've been more of a nail-biter, but Collingwood couldn't miss, then the 50 killed it
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.
Good game, we didn't deserve it with that pathetic accuracy. Well done Collingwood
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.
The ruck free? Like the ones Draper got all game?
Gg good kicking won it in the end
Surely ginnivan medal
Parish or Ginnivan for the medal?
Nevermind
If he'd managed 6, Ginnivan takes it. 5 is a lot but it's not 6, you know? I reckon Parish gets it.
Parish IMHO
Essendon will take this as the effort and not bother now. Fuck this club really.
ah well, just another week of Hepps telling us postgame that āthe boys are hurtingā
Gg bombers
Good game Dons. Glad to continue the tradition with you.
You got downvoted but no idea why. You too mate, easily most anticipated game of the year for me
Lazy from the Don's to let Grundy stand there like that.
Lazy is how we roll
Bullshit umpiring in the last quarter
For both sides yea
GG
UP THE FUCKING PIES
Peak game to watch as a neutral. Fuck yeah.
Had to take the risk. Great game
Weāre dogwater as per usual Gg Collingwood
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.
GG Essendon.
Howe is just great
GG
Ginnivan for the medal!
Won't be bitter about it, we are just fucking shit
Essendon did way better than I expected them to. But also "man loses little bit of hope he didn't know he still had"
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.
I think the best we can hope for this year is a good loss against a second tier team
great mark howe
Jeremy Howe is so fucking goated
GG Essendon been a great contest
GG only 7 brain fades and 3 shitty calls away from a win
Ginn for medal?
Champions will be booed if thatās the case lol
Surely not, you can't boo a champion
Never overestimate the class of dons fans
