This would have been a game that the Eagles would have penciled in as a win, but didn't factor in a spirited Saints side, and that they only got over the line through a little divine intervention

Hungry was a fine player but no an umpires a-hole. Despite years in the game he seems to have lost that ability to see wel. Nowadays he would be the perfect foil for Roo wth miskicks to bouncing balls.ROLS-LEE wrote:The afl needs to use its own integrity unit on its own umpires and system for corruption.
I couldn't stand SEN's Barlett shooting down our supporters on the drive home after the WCE clash saying they are not biased.
Since Schneider hand clapped an ump and basically never received a free kick, and the whispers in the sky scenario, states otherwise that these maggots have been, can, are corrupt.
Of course not. We all know that the umps like to get the home crowd's approval in Perth. "Jobby" is testament to that vs Dockers 2005.saintspremiers wrote:Lets put it this way, if the game was in Perth and the game panned out as it did, would the umps go that massively against the home side??
Call it what you will. The facts are we are being murdered and targeted. How about paying a free if its there, no matter what jumper colour, player, etc.bigcarl wrote:I don't think it's a conspiracy.

Cant help but agree. We are insignificant. And hearing Patrick Smith this morning mocking us for going and questioning some decisions with the umpires department made me realise it even more.bigcarl wrote:I don't think it's a conspiracy.

Now in essence that is correct, for if Roo had of kicked the ball off the ground, if Joey had of handballed or kicked the goal himself, if the Saints had of set up correctly with that kick in etc etc. the point is, is that the umpires kept them in the game by awarding some ordinary frees in there 50m zone, and whilst I believe the Cox one was there, the others were pretty soft and in most cases should have been called play on or ball up. I'm not sure of the exact total, but I'm sure they kicked at least four goals from free kicks and I don't think we got any.
Is that paranoia or just supporters wanting a level playing field!!!
Denny's, now there's a blast from the past.......saintsdisco wrote:I missed the Dermie call, what did he have to say?
Agh the nickname, yes it certainly brings back memory's to those old enough to remember those historic nights at the old Friday nite disco. Many a time did I leave there as the sun was a rising, only to venture down to Denny's restaurant for a feed and then off to coach the under 12 cricket team.... Shameful really
Dermie said that ducking, collapsing at the knees is a blight on the game. He said that he used to do it himself until one day a guy from north melbourne who dermie respected greatly told him to stand up in the tackle and be a man. It hit home so much that Dermie stopped doing it straight away and only started doing it again towards the end of his carreer because in his words he wasnt good enough anymore to avoid tackles properly. And that is what he thinks of players doing it now, they are too lazy or not good enough to learn how to evade tackles properly through strength, so try and draw the free.saintsdisco wrote:I missed the Dermie call, what did he have to say?

I thought the only place open after the disco was the corner of Chesterville and South road, was it Harry's Hamburgers????True Believer wrote:Denny's, now there's a blast from the past.......saintsdisco wrote:I missed the Dermie call, what did he have to say?

I think he would want the tigers in there somewhere too, they seem to draw a crowd when they are going well, or did they finish 9th on your list tooCon Gorozidis wrote:Dream AFL final 8 would be
