Had to laugh in the last quarter at all the soft ones they got .
Paddy gave away 7 frees . Most were soft as butter . Umps didn't like him after that bump

Re: Frees for and against.
The free against Wilkie on Breust was much worse IMO than the late one against Hayes in the Freo game.
It was one of the worst free kicks I’ve ever seen. I think the ump knew it almost immediately as, when Wilkie started laughing at him, he looked rather sheepish
Breust fell forward into the tackle, leading with his head: a play that umps have been specifically told not to reward with frees. And, despite all that, Wilkie still managed to grab him around the shoulders. There was no contact with the head!
Apart from that, I thought we slightly had the rub of the green.

Dwelling on the umpiring will fester in your guts and take away from the enjoyment of the game
Just like any conspiracy theory at the end of the day they are just a load of bulls*** and do nothing more than mess with your head

Re: Frees for and against.
Umpires looking after us AGAIN!?!
Can we kill off the ‘umpires always screw us’ myth yet??
BTW, didn’t see anyone blowing their lid with King’s ‘Hawkins push’ in the goal square in the second!
