f****** maggots.....marks that weren't marks......pushes in the back when the player just fell over......someday the club might just try and have a word with dimwit about the rough end of the pineapple his prick maggots shaft us with each week....

yep, blame the umpires, bring on the Dawson thread!! Then the Raph and Mcqualter Threads. You can win a game even if the umpiring is bad.

The umpires were blowing the whistle heaps. Seemed, anyway.

And I will say this: That non-mark was at a killer time of the game...

i agree they were shocking. The crowd influences them.

Well said Stinger.

Every time somebody questions the umpiring, some peanut trots out a simular response to the one you got

Yep, it angered me too - but then I remembered Kosi's non-mark last week. It goes both ways.

Paying us back for the 19 extra free kicks we got when we played the Crows at AAMI last year perhaps?

Was thinking that. I also remember stating after that game I would never complain about the umpiring ever again.

yeah, well i retract that statement.

the problem with the umpires is they don't know the rules

A couple of "home town" decisions were paid to Adelaide right as the game was being decided. Gave Adelaide the advantage and they went on with it.

They clearly cost us the game afterall 5 goals does win most games. It wasnt Rooy kicking at all that cost us.

Duggie · Post: # 978364Post **Duggie** » Sun 29 Aug 2010 11:39am

The frees and "mark" in front of goal were laughable. Surprised that the count was 19-15 our way.

borderbarry · Sun 29 Aug 2010 11:49am

Plugger66 has a good point. In fact some of our players, including Rooey, gave the impression we were trying not to win.

Especially the OOB from 25 metres straight in front.!

Or maybe the umpires figured that with 469 disposals at 93.8 disposals per goal, that we'd had our fair share of the footy. Also, with it being the last game for several Adelaide players and being at their home ground, the umps probably entered into a secret agreement to ensure that Adelaide won and those players went out on a good note. I'm sure this is correct.

wasaintsfan · Sun 29 Aug 2010 3:32pm

in the first 5 min i thought the umps were going to anal us

they then put the whistle away

umps made a couple of silly mistakes but nothing that cost us the game
our poor effort and their desperation is what undone us... umps were prob close to best weve had all year

but i think lyons post game interview cleared up as to why we got beaten by adelaide

At three quarter time we wanted to take the tempo off the game and try and not lose anyone. That certainly diminished our chances of winning,â€

i don't see any one blaming the maggots for the loss.....just commenting on their crap decisions....

Yeh nice post...

Ever thought maybe its you who doesnt know the rules...? Go back and watch a replay of todays game (without the st kilda glasses) and you will see pretty much all the free kicks were justified.

bigred · Post: # 978526Post **bigred** » Sun 29 Aug 2010 6:07pm

That was the most irrelevant game in our history.

It had absolutely no bearing on our season at all.

I'm just glad we got away with no injuries.

The doggies are rooted.

The umps didnt make Essendon a 5-6 goal better side than us tonight.

I dont think we should be crying foul about umpiring, we've had a pretty good run over the years with the umpires, particularly ...
