We lost by 13 goals. Is it possible they were the better side and so earned more frees?stinger wrote:If you are playing the saints, anything goes...betts can throw the ball....goal......crow lice player can mark a bump ball...no worries...just another goal for the crows.....22frres to 12....says it all really.....

There were throws and then there were throws that ended up as a goal.

Another shocking display. It's not just what the Crows got, it's what they missed time and tie again for us.

Well, if the president actually spoke up for the club instead of being a good corporate citizen, maybe we would get a bit more respect from the umpiring fraternity.

Re: Maggots are cheats
The whole club must sit down with the umpires en masse and have this out.
It's a festering sore that for whatever reason, the players never get a fair or even balanced game from the umpires.
My real issue this year has been then going issue of arm holding in the marking contest or tackles.
Apart from the fact it is dangerous and leaves players unable to protect themselves, it's straight out cheating and it should be called as "holding the man"

Obviously a conspiracy to get us our 27th wooden spoon. We actually did it on our own!

Re: Maggots are cheats
Not sure the umpires cost us the game.
Would be very surprised if any of them get a game next week !!

Re: Maggots are cheats
no they didn't cost us the game..no-one is claiming that......just that they don't give us a fair go........and it's okay to push, shove grab and hold roo......but don't let us think we can do the same to the opposition players......two saints got belted in the face......jack with a fist, schneids with an elbow...did either of them receive a free kick from any one of the three officiating umpires.????..not on your nellie........i nearly fell off my seat and down the stairs last week when schneids actually got a free...i think it was a case of mistaken identity and the maggot was more taken aback than schneids when he realised what he had done........Eastern wrote:Not sure the umpires cost us the game.

..a poster above said that the maggots punished us for tree years after thomas criticised them......no not true.....they are still sticking us in the ribs....
we have the most free kicks awarded against us..and receive the least....well ..we did last year..and we were on track this year for back to backs.... hell......fisher isn't allowed to umpire any more of our matches after he awarded a couple of frees to us earlier this year.....
.everybody still loves lenny....and we always will

Re: Maggots are cheats
Mmm I can smell a conspiracy. Come on guys our team isn't good enough yet, but crowd numbers affect umpiring decisions.
It's totally understandable why home crowds get more free kicks. The crowd demands it.
Umpires are easily swayed particularly in 50:50 split second decisions by the crowd reactions. Surely we can put the free kick stats including
goals from frees etc etc. The AFL would be shuddering but I'd be interested to see what the stats showed.

Calling them cheats is incorrect....calling them incompetent is more accurate.
Paid two dropped marks in a row.

Pretty sure the umpiring was sub standard IMO.
Where was it again I said we'd be better without them....oh that's right I didn't. Not sure you've got grasp on reality
