Worst I've seen in my time

[BigMart]

Guess what I'm referring to?!

I have never watched a game, and ended up laughing it was that bad....

[gringo]

Milne last year against o brien. I hate AFL these days. Demitriou calling Essendons sponsors instead of complaining about the cheats. Pies getting free rides disgraceful administration.

[lummox]

It's the biggest problem with the game at the moment.

[BigMart]

Isn't that fitting...

[Old Mate]

on the take

[Toy Saint]

Same problem last year against Collingwood.

AFL is a business, it's objective is to make the maximum profit. It has nothing to do with fair.

[Hurricane]

Collingwood winning was "better for the game" so thats what happened. I couldnt even keep up with the action as I was explaining to the (American) wife what the frees were supposed to be for

BANG BANG

[BigMart]

Seriously, never seen such inconsistency with it....

I have almost lost interest... Pathetic

[Teflon]

again we will say and do nothing as a club

but honestly, Ive seen worse umpiring this than that

would dearly love the games and goals scored from free kicks this season.....

[Jacks Back]

We were ahead in the free kick count all night until the last quarter.

Final total frees 21-24.

Another losing week.

Running Total so far this year 106-134

Well when the CEO of the competition ( and I use that word very loosely) comes out and tells the other 17 clubs that they should be very careful about what they say about the one club that is under investigation for cheating, then what do you expect. When the CEO is talking to sponsors of a team that is under investigation for cheating to keep them happy, what do you expect.

I tell you what I expect, and I am on a weekly basis losing interest in football. Yep , even in the 80's I could go to the game, watch us get smashed by teams that were better than us, but still enjoy the day, and drown the sorrows at the disco.

Now, it is just a tainted farce.

Collingwood got to 50s for us getting in the "protected" zone
It happened to siposs about 80 metres out except the Collingwood player 5 metres closer. Nothing! So many rules are s*** these days. I'm not saying siposs' shoul have got a free none should have been. And reiwoltds mark after joeys kick clearly only dropped it cause his arms were chopped in half.
Nothing!????? And lynch plays for free kicks more than the footy. And for a bloke who kicks people on the ground geez he's soft!

And thats the thing, the inconsistency.

Geary got it right when he was saying to the umpire "thats embarrassing, I was on my knees" re the Pendlebury free kick.

We got multiple in the backs - no free, and in the last quarter Collingwood players ran within 2-3 metres of the mark twice within about 15 seconds but where was our 50 metre penalty?

Collingwood get two, we get not one.

We get pinged for incorrect disposal in our forward fifty and Collingwood run up and kicks a goal. Collingwood drop it multiple times in their forward fifty - play on play on.

it is a disgraceful joke.

Why cant the AFl find umpires who are consistant?

This, this, this

No one else will ever notice. Not one commentator said boo. You have to laugh, otherwise you could hurt someone.ITCOSTSYOUGAMES.

If that's the worst you've seen, you've just proved you know nothing about the game.
No wonder most just laugh at your posts.

Agree. It was s*** but I've seen waaaay worse. Collingwood late last year for starters.

We laugh at yours too to be fair.

[CURLY]

There where at least five occasions when the Collingwood player was far closer to the player yet not one 50. FFS what is the issue? Im still laughing swearing punching the couch over the Pendlebry free and goal.

[bergsone]

its a bulls*** rule....but some on here will tell how good it is,and how well the umps call it

How do you think they went grumpy. I personally think we got bent over yet again. How do do think the 50m rule is going? Laughable. Listening to SEN as I type and Dermie and Hudo are both suggesting we got the the rough end of the vibrator. But they wouldn't know, would they.

[bigred]

Ive been bitching about this for too long now...
Too may asshats messing with the rules.
And too many cabbages officiating to get any consistency.

We are getting shafted this year.

[Buckets]

All I expect is consistency and at the moment we are not getting it.

[8856brother]

Deleted double post. By the way the maggots were terrible yet again.

[Munga]

Our guys get held back all game, happened to Joey mostly tonight. And yet as soon as we lay a finger on the Pies it's a free against. Then we're 2.1 metres away chasing after a player, and get 50m against.

Ross gets the ball dragged under him and it's a free to the Pies. Didn't this rule come in last year or this year where dragging the ball under a player is punishable? Conveniently disappeared that one.

Siposs has his head taken off, no free.

McEvoy is the only ruckman awaiting the throw in, he will clearly win the ball. Yet the ump throws the ball about 15m away from him to absolutely no one, not recalled.

Sorry mate but you are wrong,we are getting cosistency.....consistency bad umpiring
