Saying this as a Collingwood supporter, elements of the umpiring, show why we need robot umpires...

But would robot umpires have eyes

[@KipMplaylists]

This was rigged asf you could see they wanted the pies to win the flag from round 1, how they speak about players such as Daicos, lachie Neale played his heart out showing he was really the brownlow medalist. Disappointing how so many calls were so terrible, you could see they wanted an action packed game compared to last year

You would be surprised how much AFL is played overseas. We have a women's team as well as a men's team in Denver, CO where I live. And there are many teams scattered across the USA. While there are Aussie expats playing, you would also be surprised by the number of locals playing. (@JG-bw6lu

@@skuxxgheelad you go back and think about that one free that could have been. Umpires made mistakes on both sides and if an earlier call that should have gone pies way was called then the game would have been completely different. Unfortunate that it was in the dying seconds of the game but the Afl will never admit that the ump could have been wrong

[@blueenglishstaffybreeder6956]

As a Collingwood supporter I know your pain, think 2018, also I’d never rub it in cos I know how much it hurts, enough to make a grown man cry, my father in law to his credit a Brisbane supporter and old Fitzroy boy sat there with 10 of us pies supporters and just took it on the chin, I did say tho before the game no rubbing it in from anyone if your team gets out to a big lead, he’s a good sport like yourself

[@otaviofrn_adv]

Man, what a game... I follow this sport in a scarcely manner (I'm brazilian, so game times are tough for me), but what a final. It was time for Collingwood to win, after they went down hard to West Coast in 2018. This also returns part of the sadness that Brisbane left with them after winning in 2002 and 2003

[@berranari1]

That's right man. We owed them at least one. Sport gives you sadness and that makes your victories sweeter. It is so cool that you are watching AFL from Brazil. 🌎 You watching AFL at weird times is like how we get the European Champions League Final at 4:30am. One year my friend called me over to watch the ECL final. Liverpool vs AC Milan live from Istanbul. At half time AC Milan was up 3-0 and my friend had fallen fast asleep and he wouldn't wake up. So I went home and saw Liverpool come back to win it. Their fans went right off. 3-3 After 90 mins. Sometimes you can enjoy the great sporting events from a neutral perspective. We were going for Liverpool because Harry Kewell from Australia was playing for them. But he went off with an injured groin at half time. He was a good player but it's funny because they had this comeback after he was subbed off. LOL Go Pies. Go Ravens (NFL) My football (soccer) team is Leeds United. They got relegated again. But you got to support your team, that's the fun of it, long term. We have A-League teams here. They play in the Asian Champions League. An A-League team, West Sydney Wanderers won the ACL once.

It’s a testament to who Craig McRae is as a person and coach. The way he has transformed the Collingwood FC. They lose the prelim last year by a point, he said “nope, we’re not losers”. They got to work, recruited well (hello Bobby Norm Hill), trained all the 1% ers. Even after the GF he said “we still got work to do”. It was an epic GF. The 2 best teams going at it.

One of the best moments in this game as a Collingwood supporter that doesn't get a lot of attention is the Pendlebury Goal in the 3rd Quarter @ 6:13. It was a really tense period of the game and the former skipper showed all the class, poise, leadership and confidence of a 300+ Game player. The crowd noise was indicative of the moment as we could all sense the significance of the occasion.

What a Grand Final. Finally, one that lives up to the hype with 1st vs 2nd, and for that matchup to be decided by less than a kick makes it even more epic. Congratulations to the Collingwood Flagpies on their 16th Premiership, joining Essendon and Carlton as well. Although they didn't quite learn fron Melbourne's mistakes, they did enough to hold off a very brave Brisbane Lions outfit. This means that Brisbane have now lost more Grand Finals than Fremantle, Port Adelaide and GWS, not combined though. Take a bow, Collingwood. I reckon Steele Sidebottom and Scott Pendlebury should both go out winners in their amazing careers. Brisbane fought well too and their fans should be bloody proud of how far they've come. The Flagpies have now avenged TWO Grand Final losses in one day. One was in 2002 and the other was in 2018. How would GWS have done against Brisbane had the Giants won last week instead? We'll never know. This also means that I have now commented on every main match highlight of the 2023 AFL Premiership season. That does it for me for the year.

I watched the Charlie Cameron fourth q goal like ten times. Im in. Gonna start following this.

[@dyslxeic]

Lions supporter here. Sad to see the team lose, but that was a great game. The Pies were the better side that day, anytime we tried to push ahead they snatched back control quick. The decision to pay advantage will make this GF one of those games that everyone will say what if... which makes it more memorable. Also Bobby Hill was amazing well deserved Norm Smith recipient. Head up boys, you played well. Let's try again next year!

[@GettingtheKnack]

Beautifully said. I get the discourse around the advantage call, but it wouldn't have by no means guaranteed a goal. Brisbane were awesome, just didn't quite get firing at the right times. Helluva game

[@emceen8566]

Thankyou for your good sportsmanship. The Lions played a great game and especially in the second quarter were looking extremely dangerous. Good game and good luck for next year!

[@ivomaio4443]

Soccer does not come close to being the spectator sport that aussie rules does so get over yourself and by the way i barrack for Collingwood and also love the Socceroos when they play.

[@DelusionalPerson]

@@GettingtheKnackto be fair you had quite a few free kicks that were undeserved, so if the umpires were fair i reckon we still may win but have closer scores

[@GettingtheKnack]

@@DelusionalPerson Perhaps yeah, but there are always bad calls - comes with the ambiguous and fast paced nature of the game. But the Pies probably had the edge with that. Overall though we stopped some of Brisbanes big weapons while most of our boys showed up.

[@alexjones9038]

great performance by Brisbane, came to play in what was essentially an away grand final

[@shadzyalex]

It's just like a repeat of the 2018 grand final but this time the magpies win!

[@ryans32978]

Congrats Collingwood! Great to see the pies win it! And really nice to see Pendlebury & Sidebottom get another flag, having waited 13 years. I do really feel for the lions though, as they haven't won it for 20 years. Prior to 2019, they also went through some very dark patches for many seasons. It's great that they're resurgent now, but it's sad that they've had their hearts broken in the finals for 5 seasons in a row. I do hope that their premiership window remains open for a little longer and that they can get at least 1 flag before it closes.

Bombers supporter here. Pies arguably the best side all year round but Brisbane were never far away, right to the last minute of the last day in September. The coin landed on the pies this year and that shows just how close the competition was. onto 2024

[@gm1682]

what a goal from Zac Bailey, that could have been goal of the year if it was in the regular season, but then maybe not because it was a bigger goal because of the enormity of the occasion.

YEAH Soccer is only the the number 1 sport in Russia (far more popular and more played than hockey) and the second biggest sport after baseball in Japan. At least soccer ranks as the 3rd biggest sport in Canada 4th biggest sport in the USA.
