Did Collingwood lose to Geelong in R8 By umpire error or not?

I'm a C'wood supporter but I think I can give you an unbiased answer here. Yes, the umpire made an error, yes it would have put us in front, however there was still about 2 minutes to go in that game before the error was made so the whole last 2 minutes of the game is now completely unpredictable and anybody could have still won it.

Quite frankly, we played crap that night, there's just something I find undignified about a team who plays poorly yet scrapes home for a win. The players should have pulled their fingers out long before the final quarter and shouldn't have let it go down to a kick. There were other umpire errors that night also for both sides, so to blame the entire game on one decision is poor form, in my eyes the players lost it for themselves. I believe they are a better side than Geelong 5 or 6 days of the week, and unfortunately that match wasn't played on one of our days.

Had it happen on Grand Final day then I would definitely have jumped onto the umpire error bandwagon, but I'm glad it didn't. Only the very best umpires over the whole year are allowed to umpire the GF so I don't think there would be a poor decision like that in one, especially not in the dying minutes. At that stage of the match the general consensus is "let them go for it". Oh well, what's the difference between 1st and 2nd anyway? Buckleys!

Was probably umpire error. but the rule stinks anyway. however that never makes a result, anything else can happen in AFL that will change a result, so cant blame the umpires how many goals did collingwood miss?
