As far as racism goes. Calling a Greek or Italian greasy was considered racist when I was a kid. As in greasy wog.

Never heard fun police referred to as racist.

My mother was catholic even though I wasn't christened catholic, however, in those far flung day, sectarian insults such as tyke and left footer certainly abounded.

There was two Polish women who lived next door to us when I was a kid in the 60's. They were Jewish refugees from the holocaust. The older women was mentally ill, and her daughter looked after her. God knows what they went through to get to relative safety of an old weatherboard in Bankstown Sydney. Did that stop the local kids parading up and down singing "Get a bit of pork, put it on a fork, give it to the Jew next door".

I often think of those old Jewish women, their tragic lives and the ignorance of the indulged, safe, well, feed, and free Australian kids.

Anyway, the umpires are still hopeless.
Bunk, what are your thoughts on the Holding the Ball rule in 2015? I think it is fantastic and ultimately will speed the game up as players will not go for an impossible fend et al.

Unfortunately, the Umpires @ GWS were crap and considering how close we ended up, it is not a fair stretch to suggest that we could have left with the 4 points.

Pies, despite the Umpires not exactly assisting by paying marks that clearly were not, we were not in the contact after the first quarter.

I agree Redeemer. First couple of rounds the umpires were very good with the new interpretation. And agreed it really seemed to speed up the game.

Thought they were getting a bit lax in R3, but it was relative. I really hope they keep up with the new interpretation.

need to do something about the below the knees contact.

Lonie almost gets crippled and not even a free kick. Jack Steven makes the play at the end of a 100 metre run, has the ball in is hand, and the Collingwood player falls over him, free to Collingwood.

Terrible interpretation, and I wont blame the umpires, except for the fact that they were incompetent in not paying Lonie a free. Disgraceful that three could not see what Varco did to him.

When people can racially taunt people who escaped the holocaust it really makes you wonder if racism is so inherent in humans that it will never be eradicated.

We had a great run (double 50) against the GC, so as long as next week is in our favour, the ledger is even.

The game was taken away from us in the 2nd quarter...That was a combination of our poor play, Collingwood's ability to hit targets and the umpires.
Even if we were in touch at half time or even three quarter time, the conditions, combined with two six day breaks, probably would have seen Collingwood finish all over us.
Honestly, I don't think Collingwood are more than a 1-2 goal a quarter better side than us. Certainly not the twelve goal margin that it ended up.

Calling some one racist for saying "fun police" is as silly as it gets. I think Plugger is being deliberately mischievous. Calling Demitriou "greasy" could be interpreted as racist as it's pointing out a profile assigned to ethnic people by racists in the past. As far as I know "fun police" couldn't really be assigned to any racial or cultural differentiation.

I think you really need to see the times the posts were edited. And there is one post that you can see what was actually said. I don't like dobbing people in and then they get a warning. Lets put it that way.

Seriously, the umpiring I have witnessed first hand so far this season has been an abomination. Just because we have played poorly in a couple games it doesn't mean they should drop their standards as well.

I think the umpiring here is pretty harsh. No racial stereotyping though.

18 to 7 for these corrupt retards. So corrupt. Three in a row to set up goals is unacceptable. They are not meant to play for the team. I think it's time to put one umpire back they just have more idiots to screw it all up. The AFL is useless and they condone these morons.

Why is it always Collingwood that gain the advantage? Remember the Milne free on Harry O that saved Collingwood from losing. They admitted it shouldn't have been a free but all to late.

Holy s***!!!!

That free against milne was one of the most corrupt moments ive ever witnesed in afl. That was virtually scripted to be a free kick for the pies.

I think the free kick count has a bigger impact on games result than we may think - one free differential today

The free kick for deliberate out of bounds against Seaney D was idiotic.

As bad as the Monty one a few years back up in Brisbane - took a complete right angled bounce

Cant beleive someone could be that stupid to pay it - very very questionable umpiring
