Channel 7 commentators. I cannot have Schwarz and his bias. He so wanted the Brions to win last night it wasnt funny. Umps will always be umps.....I think we learn to live with that now....
No, the umpires were the worst, as they are most games.
The problem remains - as GT summed it up controversially a couple of years ago - that too often they give free kicks based on what they think happened rather than on what they actually saw.

Carlton kicked 3.2 out of 4.4. at quarter time from free kicks, and the ones against Blake and Hudghton were two of the worst decisions I (and Wallsy) have seen.
The Umps were a disgrace. 3 goals i counted because of pathetic decisions. As the commentators said, "why even bother having defenders when they can't defend". I agree. Unless the AFL want to ban defenders altogether, they have to get their act together. Tonights umpiring was an absolute disgrace to the game of AFL.
Umps ordinary but commentators appalling - NOT ONE MADE ANY COMMENT WHEN GARDINER MARKED/DIDN'T MARK - just continued with the commentary in spite of - were plenty of other eg's but that was the stand out for me & in spite of all the praise they heaped on Waite still happy with Roo's contribution & Waite's disposal.

So they were bad decisions....
I was yelling, but being up there on level 3, it was hard to know if i was right.
