Re: 85 Tackles for 3 Frees
No excuse other than bias. Countless frees ignored. Just rubbish umpiring.

Re: 85 Tackles for 3 Frees
Ratts basically asked, if the Cats players were disposing of the ball with one hand, in a tackle, how was that a legal disposal ?
The Saints are under review, will it make any difference to the underachievers ?

Re: 85 Tackles for 3 Frees
I agree the umpiring was sh-- & we got the wrong end of the stick but when they had their chances they took them & we didn't end of story

Re: 85 Tackles for 3 Frees
Few missed htb decisions, couple of throws and a trip
From what I saw
Couple of high tackles that shoulda been paid against us too.
We lost due to appalling goal kicking

Re: 85 Tackles for 3 Frees
This is not a goal kicking thread
Again 85 tackles for 3 frees ...... absolute disgrace
There was a period of play where they were twice caught without trying to dispose of it in or forwardline and just hatched it followed by a Selwood throw followed by 2 clears incorrect disposals followed by ...... a Geelong goal

Re: 85 Tackles for 3 Frees
There was a period of one minute in the second quarter where they missed 4 holding the balls and 2 blatant throws.
But none of them were paid because our kicking was bad.

Re: 85 Tackles for 3 Frees
Worst umpiring I’ve seen in years
Just missed so many and clearly favoured cats

Re: 85 Tackles for 3 Frees
Thought he did that well Ratten
Clearly disgusted
Maggots disgraceful tonight
I’d like the club to issue a please explain because that standard of umpiring just can’t be ignored ..,
“Yeah….nah””

Re: 85 Tackles for 3 Frees
Perception is a lot to do with it. Umpires just love a winner and, after all, we are “only” St Kilda and Geelong are flag fancies.
We’ll get a better run once we are a better side.
It stinks, but that is how umpires are.

Re: 85 Tackles for 3 Frees
Sadly truth in that but this is a professional sport if we can see that what is the AFL doing to fix that because it’s sub standard umpiring
For a senior coach to have to say “I’m not sure it’s worth tackling...” is damning and we all saw it
Ratten ain’t an umpire bashed....he’s honest
Scott summed it “I think we got lucky tonight”
Yup you did Chris from our forwards and yellow maggots
“Yeah….nah””

Re: 85 Tackles for 3 Frees
Watch the Bulldogs get a HTB free every time they lay a finger on our players next week. Could be Ratten's "leave the ego in the locker room" moment.

Selwood is protected.
It's a joke.

Re: 85 Tackles for 3 Frees
It will make for an interesting game next week when we play a team who won a flag being allowed the throw the ball.

Re: 85 Tackles for 3 Frees
Hawkins no 50 for Howard moving on the mark.
No free for jumping on Touheys head over the boundary.
12-13 frees, mistakes went both ways
What’s the correct ratio for tackles-to-free kicks?
5.17
If only we had an ex-player umpiring to help us out...

Re: 85 Tackles for 3 Frees
Of course you’re correct again (as usual)
We got a fantastic run from the umpires all night
Rattan has no idea about the game
You should offer to assist him on understanding the rules and how the game is supposed to be played

Re: 85 Tackles for 3 Frees
Re-read my post, did I say mistakes didn’t go against us?
Maybe Ratten and all his assistants should be focussing more in 5.17 than a few umpiring mistakes.
