It's a good read.
Classic, perhaps some of their players should have a good hard look at themselves, number of times in the last 1/4 they were arguing with umpires whilst their opponents took off up the ground and were free.
And also the amount of times the centre bounce was NOT recalled when only one ruckman (Grundy) was favoured by it, example 1st bounce last 1/4
Surely this is taking the piss! You can have your opinion of the blocking from the last goal, however the other 2 incidents he has mentioned is the ultimate in Nuff! You can understand people in the heat of the moment but to go away, have a sleep on it and continue to go and make a petition is incredibly idiotic.
Ridiculous wasn't it?
For all the decisions that could have gone either way throughout what was a fantastic Grand Final, thoroughly deserved by the Eagles, to then go back and pick out just this one, was embarrassing to begin with. When I read that Leigh Matthews was whingeing about it just reminded me how much the Vics control the footy media. But this guy and his petition just takes the cake! I hear he has over 4,000 signatures!
Contrast that with what happened in the SANFL Preliminary Final, and I think we can put WWT as a clear cut above, and kudos to all SANFL supporters for a demonstration of what "feet on the ground" looks like. Some Collingwood fans are living in fantasy land, with the Sun revolving around Victoria Park.
Having said that, I should commend Eddie McGuire and Nathan Buckley for the way they conducted themselves despite the embarrassing fracas initiated by Matthews. My respect for them has increased in equal proportions to how it has dipped for those 4,000 fans.
I'm gonna sit back, crack the top off a Pale Ale, and watch the Double Blues prevail
