12-2 yesterday and the WB jumped away next half the umps even the count and look out we win. The only win Carlton have had it was a ridiculously one sided umpiring display. No coincidence the Blues had Malthouse record game the week later.

Re: Umps give you a reasonable run and....
That first half was awful and looked corrupt. They must have been told to get their s*** together in the second half. We should really just go back to one umpire. Most fans would rather miss half the frees than have little dictators swaying the competition the way they want it to go because of petty gripes or predetermined ideas of who should win. It's still a major blight on the game.

I actually noted the frees as we went as I noticed how many they were getting. I think we got one of the stats for a free that was paid to them. I think It was 1 free for the whole half. I might have missed a played on one at the other end though. It was embarrassingly one sided and often would have the identical action go the other way for a free kick.CURLY wrote:12-2 yesterday and the WB jumped away next half the umps even the count and look out we win.

According to Smart Replay it was 14-3 in the first half:

I haven't gone to the trouble of reviewing each one but someone should do that and tell us if they were justified or not.

Dermie once described club likability as a tide. The tide has been against us for I reckon 5 years+. Negative stories were favoured by the press, negative opinion by fans, and I've thought the benefit of the doubt with respect to 50/50s has run hard against us. The tide thankfully has turned IMO, and we are now invariably a good story, colleagues sidle us at the bubbler with praise and we will start to get a better for/against.

Was it really that different from the Aker deliberate in the 2009 Prelim?saynta wrote:Also worth mentioning that there was no way that little slug, Razor Ray should have called that kick from Dempster, a deliberate out.CURLY wrote:Amazing that without a huge run of frees against you can remain competitive. Collingwood 13 frees to 1 after quarter time and Carlton 22- 6 to half time.
In saying that if David Armitage was looked after like Pendlebury or Murphy he would have got ten frees yesterday.

I've watched the replay twice. On the whole I thought the umps were pretty good. A few errors, but both in our favour and not in our favour.
Funny how the side playing better footy, running harder, being first to the contest and harder at the ball was paid more frees in each half.

Speaking of Dermie, he seemed quite chuffed for us. Perhaps we did the right thing in sacking his mate after all hey Derm.SideshowMilne wrote:Dermie once described club likability as a tide.

Anyway glad he enjoyed the game
