Raw Deal on Riewoldt

Post: # 432596Post saintgus »

I felt tonight that Riewoldt was very harshly done by by the umpires. The Swans ganges up on him the whole game n he constantly had more than one player markin him n he was chopped n pushed n everything...i dont want to whings but it just seemed to be becomin a joke....mind you to be fair we weren't good enough anyway... i still feel we can bounce back

They are just copying Essendon is all. Sheedy puts one man in front of Riewoldt, one man behind him and one man next to him. Kind of a mark of a respect for the man, but I stil wish opposition coaches had the balls to play him 1 on 1.

How many bloody threads do we need whinging about the umpires?

Not much has changed since 2007

Truly amazing research Sainter-Dad, and the point is?

Thought it was obvious.

The more things change the more they stay the same.

- Riewoldt getting a raw deal
- Saints fans complaining about the umpiring
- Swans playing 2 on 1 (although we helped this by playing a spare backman)
- Too many threads on Umpiring
- Saints not good enough when the chips were down (Pun half intended)

Just thought it co-incidental.

Not great research though - just happened to go to page 699 and look at 3 threads from that time and up pops this chestnut!

There is another thread about Watters' comments on Shitney blocking. Do we need anothee thread? Seriously

Don't think we can complain about umpiring and Rewoildt over the journey. In the past,without doubt no other saint has got a better run from the umps. If Lockett was afforded the luxury Rewoildt got from the umps he would of kicked 200 a year,seriously


Bring back the Lockett era

It's our own fault if we don't have another two decent forwards to take the heat off reiwoldt. Maister out didn't help and lee is still learning and looks unfit.

Does anyone realize that the OP and the next two posts were from 2007?
