umpiring...
i am usually not one to harp on about umpiring but tonights effort thus far has been terrible...
usually it even's out and we get as much as we take but a few free-kicks to goodes (espeically the 'push in the back on blake that somehow become a goodes free kick') is a prime example
cj has been done for holding the ball twice when he barely had a second between the two contests to get rid of he ball let alone find a saints options
the swans are truly the afl's lovechild

I think they're actually a fair way in the negative on a total Frees for / Frees against basis over the season. I'm listening to the ABC call and they are mystified by a number of the frees the Swans are getting. Some of the others are there but very "tiggy-touchwood".
Do not meddle in the affairs of Dragons; for you are a quick and tasty morsel.

Apparently if you elbow a defender in the head your team gets the free kick and goal.
That No.30 umpire McEnerney is a farking incompetent cheat who should be dropped from the umpiring squad.
Worst decision I have seen this year.
You fair dinkum hit somebody in the head wih an elbow AND YOU GET THE FARKEN FREE KICK!!!!!!!!!!!!
F*** this game of AFl has been turned into a farken joke by this administration.

Lance or James??
There comes a point in every man's life when he has to say, "Enough is enough." For me, that time is now. I have been dealing with claims that I cheated and had an unfair advantage in <redacted>. Over the past three years, I have been subjected to a <redacted>investigation followed by <redacted> witch hunt. The toll this has taken on my family, and my work for <redacted>and on me leads me to where I am today – finished with this nonsense. (Oops just got a spontaneous errection <unredacted>)

I can't remember a game where we were so slaughtered by the umpires, but at least 50% of it was that Sydney were too smart for the idiots in yellow.
They've adopted the Adelaide tactic of throwing your head back every time you are tackled. They also verbal the umpires when there's a ball-up pointing to their faces. It went on the the whole game.
When all else fails, fall to the ground holding your head.

Umpiring was bloody awful...im really angry and disappointed tonight....to be honest we didnt play very well, we just didnt hit targets and took silly options but umpiring didnt help....Umpiring was definitely terrible and we were given a rough go....we'll come back next week, im stayin confident

And on that note, is there any chance you could cut your own throat and die soon?Seaford_Saint wrote:STOP DREAMING EVERYONE - take off your rose-colored glasses - umpires had no effect on the shyte we dished up tonight.
the best thing an umpire could have done would have been fall across Clarke's knee... alas....
Fair dinkum, wishing one of your own players a major knee injury ... what a turd you are.

i agree completely...i always prided myself on not being a cliche supporter who always whinged about umpiring as things has a way of sorting itself out 50/50Mooksy wrote:I also never go on about umpires but tonight was a disgrace. The holding the ball decisions were pathetic!
they were utterly terrible tonight

that 3rd quarter..oh my god. even my dad who was a neutral thought it was incredibly biased and was actually laughing at how one sided it was. now i dont blame the loss on the umps, but boy did it give them the momentum so desperately desired in that all important 3rd term. i believe we cough the ball up too much ourselves to blame the umpires, nevertheless that does not excuse it from being absolutely pathetic.
every week they over umpire, and its not just our games - take a look at essendon v hawks last week. they are messed up, james hird was right MCLAREN YOU ARE A DISGRACE
...the most accurate comment grant thomas has ever made also.

no he didnt...i agree that Sydney are all a pack of wingers, Adam Goodes feels as though he should throw in his 2cents worth for every decsion and that bloody jude bolton...he spends more time with his hands in the air appealing than trying to get the ball like a real footballermullet wrote:Yep just showed schneider on chanel 10. bumped in the shoulder and went down holding his face.

Read that Demetriou you farken idiot and give an explanation HOW in gods name Dal could've been pinged for holding the ball.
That was the worst holding the ball decision I think I have ever seen in a game of AFL.
