Don't care for this game anymore
When an umpire decides matches, its not worth it. Making rules up, ignoring the obvious. Penalising the stupidest little thing. Don't care, AFL can go stick their game up their arses

Re: Don't care for this game anymore
Couldnt agree more. Its well after 2:00 am here and I am at an absolute loss to understand some of the trash served up by the umpires. It destroys the game

Re: Don't care for this game anymore
The Gwilt holding the ball early in the last was probably the worst decision this century,second worst if not

Hey idiot, see all those other threads, me thinks they might be suggesting we are crap. But no excuse for that third rate cheating display. Perhaps it's not just the players match fixing.Spinner wrote:Yep. We are 2 and 7 but its the umpires.

Rougheads Ronaldo impression was a total disgrace. Flung himself to the ground and won a free kick.

Re: Don't care for this game anymore
Deflection. We were not good enough. Thought we got a great run in the 2nd qtr.

Re: Don't care for this game anymore
So we give them a pass mark of one quarter. The rest was terrible, laughable. Some non saints people here were asking if they have something against this club. Shaking of heads.8856brother wrote:Deflection. We were not good enough. Thought we got a great run in the 2nd qtr.

Re: Don't care for this game anymore
They are either retarded or corrupt. Not incompetent. That's the umpires I mean.

Re: Don't care for this game anymore
Umpiring was poor but that didn't cause turnovers and a lack of polish.
Can't wait for wright to come back as at least he has composure.
Should of put the game away quite a few times, but we keep playing guys who just can't give that even though they try

Re: Don't care for this game anymore
Yep it is hard to take the game seriously as I watch a team run out who are under investigation for cheating. Nothing surprises me anymore. And I really dont care anymore either.

Re: Don't care for this game anymore
They were beyond appaling. Nick Reiwoldt would of had to of been shot to of earned a free kick in the fwd 50 He was being held pushed and enough high contact that is was laughable. It wasnt just roo it was the all around the ground. At the same time the lightest infringement against the dogs was given a free kick

Re: Don't care for this game anymore
The rules committee and the AFL have just made this great game too confusing.
Get rid of the Geish and employ professionals who understands the spirit of playing footy. When you see some obvious free kicks mised...or you see a mark not paid when it was clearly controlled by the player...or you see a technical tickytouchwood free or 2 decide a match, that's when it puts you right off.

Re: Don't care for this game anymore
First half the umpires were paying everything they saw and more, but it was both ways. Then in the third quarter it was ALL bulldogs. Final quarter they put the whistle away to some extent (they were on track for 60 frees paid in total which probably looks bad for them) but still managed to pull some bulls*** frees out for the dogs while ignoring blatant ones that should have been ours.

Re: Don't care for this game anymore
You pretty much got it right there until you mentioned third quarter. The third quarter was where Watters was out coached for the second week in a row, and one eyed supporters started blaming umpires.mad saint guy wrote:First half the umpires were paying everything they saw and more, but it was both ways.

Re: Don't care for this game anymore
I hadn't seen that many 50 metre penalties paid in one game like that for quite a while and it wasn't.t really a game "worthy" of those pathetic decisions .
But I'm feeling the same way about the game of the AFL . Destroyed and taken away from the average supporter and I 'm not sure we'll see back as we once knew it.

Re: Don't care for this game anymore
Could not agree more with this post !
The umpires were not the reason we lost the game tonight .
The dogs were harder at the footy and well deserved the victory !
My problem is with the decisions , the umpiring from the start of this year had copt allot of flak not only from fans but also the media . Geishan and andy spruik the usual BS how 99% of the free kicks are right , then suddenly for the last two weeks they stopped paying the soft frees .
Then tonight happens and i'm confused again !
We had 27 free kicks tonight , we had 26 in total against carlton and adelaide .
After about half way through the first quarter i had no idea when the umpire blew his whistle , which way he was going to raise his arm !
Can anybdy explain what any of the fifty metre penalties were for ?
