Could the umpires actually umpire instead of being extra West Coast players? 10 frees to 1.

OMG! We got a free!

Another season but the good old hometown free kick advantage remains. 5 - 0 to West Coast.

We need a parochial Saints call of the game, like KROCK do for Geelong matches. At least they might get Jack Steven's name right.....

Should have won that. Missed too many easy ones.

Feeling good for Round 1 though.

Apart from the misses, Sydney got their usual charity run from the maggots.

Finals beckon this season?

WTF. Sydney did the exact same thing in our forward line (and didn't take the mark), no free kick. Roberton takes the mark and gets pinged.

We've missed a few easy ones. Can't believe some of the crap Sydney get away with.

Sydney player putts two hands in Wright's back and shoves. No free. Sydney go on to score a goal. Nothing changes with the umpiring.

Already tired of seeing Swans players just dropping the ball in a tackle and not being pinged.

The Mighty Ducks.

If the Saints aren't there, I really do not give a toss. I will not be watching any of the finals series.

Bloody awful skills on display. Any other team and we'd be getting smashed. The only thing keeping Richmond in it all day has been us.

Nicholls doing the Hawks as many favours as he can.

Fisher is at the hospital having scans on his jaw. That fend off certainly was legal though.....

We say nothing and it will continue. Say something and you can guarantee we wil get smashed like the "Whispers in the Sky" game, but for an entire season (or more). The club is in a no-win situation. I'm really starting to lean towards, "F*** it. Start calling them on it." Maybe,...

We seem to be the only team in the league that the "Kicking in Danger" rule applies to.

And feel free to continually chop our forwards arms to boot. You won't get pinged

Apparently, applying a bearhug on a forward is illegal, unless it's a Saints forward.

At the ground, Alan Richardson has just confirmed Geary out injured. DMAC in.

Bent, bent, bent umpiring.

Think it's safe to say Etihad Stadium had mare of a day yesterday.

The work experience kid was in charge today. No stats for the whole game. Kept playing the "Knock Knock" track after a goal. Played our theme once.

How is it we play interstate and the hometown umpiring is unbelievable, but we play an interstate team at home they usually still clean up on the frees?

Ricciuto and Russell are straight out barracking for Adelaide.

50 should have been paid to Roo for the push and for clearly going over the mark. Neither paid.

Heave ho! There they go! They are the zero win Dockers!
