My apologies - I've finally found my glasses - it was Umpire 22 who was terrible.

The worst decision was the last goal of the game.

Bruce puts two hands on his opponent’s shoulders and attempts a speckie, gets nowhere near it, but no free is paid.

Seconds later the Helmeted Dwarf Troll ducks into a tackle and gets a free, 20m out. The umpire blew the whistle at almost the exact microsecond contact was made, as if he was waiting for it.

Inexcusable incompetence at such a critical stage.

The Dogs we’re playing for frees. They were pulling the defenders arms down when they Saint defenders were spoiling drawing the too high free. It worked 3 times. They also pin the arm of the tackler drawing the holding the man. They sucked umps in time after time.

The umps need to be better...something official needs to said. Its as bad as staging, nearly won them the game.

The Dogs are out so maybe the AFL will choose another favoured species who would help their " image". They love a "Fairy Tale" so it's probably out of us and Brissy atm.

Don't like bring the umpires into a positive outcome but IMO they gave the Dog's a pretty good run & we still won so I'm content for this week anyway

I hate it when the umpires play into Curlys hands on the very odd occasion giving him the opportunity to rant and rave. Unfortunately this game they did but looking forward to ignoring next week‘s conspiracy theory rubbish

Often think Curly may be a bit harsh on the umps but can only agree after today I know my eyesight is not what it once was but think I may have seen the umpires as well as the doggies shedding a tear after the final siren.
The umpiring should have been expected as a look at the free kick ratios over the last few years have the dogs up there with the filth and the Eagles get a good run at home.

Well I never thought I would see the Umpires crucify the WCE at home but it’s happening now. Free kick Collingwood........

Even in the last 20 seconds the umpires were just atrocious.

Soft free to Keath against Max. Totally ridiculous and soft. I think from the same prick too.

They were f****** horrible in the Dogs F50 but ok everywhere else.
If you take a blokes head off you have to pay the free no matter where on the ground it is Ted.
Wallis free???
The one for chopping the arms was a mistake, all the others looked there to me, however unfortunate.
I don't mind the umpires paying frees for arm chops but they have to pay them all.
Then we would see Max King kick 10 goals.
The difference was plain dishonest but that's what the AFL wants the umpires to do - keep both teams in the game to the end.

AFL need Collingwood in the finals they are a cash cow. The umpires basically wrapped up a finals win for Collingwood tonight.

This!

As well as that little muppet Wallis always launches himself forward at the very slightest touch - I watched for it - because he did the same several times the first time we played this year!

The last image you can see how close the Ump is - but still does not call it as play on.

Bruce puts his hand on Howard's shoulders and goes for specie with minutes to go and no free. King barely touches Keath and get a free against him 30 seconds later. Same umpire (22) too.

What goes around, comes around. The Eagles are a bunch of in your face whingers. Their supporters sook even when they get the rub of decisions. It’ll be bliss as a West Aussie Saints supporter this week! 😁🍻

I was filthy as this from the first instance ( the first image ) and called him a cheat for the rest of the match.

St. Kilda need to send this through with a please explain. Media and commentators jump on Ben Long when he didn't even make contact with the head and then let this absolute rot go through to the keeper.

That feeling in the pit of your stomach today Wallis. Deserved

Just to be clear. This is two seperate incidents. The free against Wilkie in the first and against Howard in the second. I’m sure there was a third one.

And both should have been frees to the St Kilda player for holding. The MVP should also cite him.

I share your frustration Curly.

We need to get all our small guys - like Lonie - helmets so the umpire will notice them when they duck into tackles.

Yes indeed. Losing by 1 point in front of an uber parochial home crowd in an elimination final. It couldn’t happen to a more deserving bunch. Ahhhhh the schadenfreude.

Disgraceful.

Absolutely disgraceful umpiring.

That last quarter was an abortion.
Yep. The umpire knew he’d cocked up when he paid the high tackle to Daniels after he clearly ducked into it. You could see it written on his face.

Whatever happened to putting the whistle away in a tight final?
