Eagle eyed footy fans believe Collingwood may have deliberately broken a rule in a stroke of tactical genius that helped them win the AFL Grand Final.
The Magpies defeated Brisbane by four points in a classic decider that came down to a thrilling final quarter.The Lions took an 80-78 lead when Charlie Cameron kicked a goal with five minutes remaining, leaving Pies fans staring down the barrel of another heartbreaking Grand Final loss.
Brian Taylor said in commentary on Channel 7: “Just unnecessary hold ups. Just pay the free or move on.” Triple M’s Rudi Edsall wrote on X: “I’m surprised there hasn’t been more made about the 6-6-6 warning against Collingwood that meant the centre bounce was changed to a ball up before Jordan de Goey’s fourth quarter goal.“Also I don’t really understand the need for a warning at all. Just pay a free, everyone knows the rules.”
While many believed Collingwood pulled off a tactical masterstroke, broadcaster Gerard Whateley debunked the conspiracy theory on SEN. “Cox is able to get his hand to it then they each do their thing and De Goey kicks his signature goal.”Former Collingwood coach Nathan Buckley said it’s possible it was a deliberate ploy, since the throw up advantaged Cox and the Magpies.
