There comes a point in every man's life when he has to say, "Enough is enough." For me, that time is now. I have been dealing with claims that I cheated and had an unfair advantage in <redacted>. Over the past three years, I have been subjected to a <redacted>investigation followed by <redacted> witch hunt. The toll this has taken on my family, and my work for <redacted>and on me leads me to where I am today – finished with this nonsense. (Oops just got a spontaneous errection <unredacted>)
I think you will find Allen will bend us over more than the other two.
Watch out for that ridiculous boof headed clown to totally confound logic.

I actually prefer Goldspink - when he umpires well, no probs. Then .. cringe.. Mathew Head believe it or not. Since that infamous game in Perth - he's been ok.
I want to stand for something. I'm a loyal person and I think at the end of my career it will be great to look back and know that I'm a St Kilda person for life.

Allen is easily the best and most impartial umpire running around.
Have you got into the Eagles stash?
Well, as I already said, if you don't like Allen, then which umpire is any good? Goldspink? Head? Any of the Macs? Vozzo?
He's easily the best of a bad lot, from what I've seen. Kennedy is ok too. The others all stink (I used to quite like Vozzo too, but he's done some ridiculous stuff in our recent games.)

FFS you guys. The umps don't go into games with any intent to shaft one team or the other. If the Saints are good enough and want it enough they'll win.
what makes me sick is ppl bother to learn the umpires names ?
they are little more then ground employees they should be nameless egoless officiators the moment they get numbers on their backs and get preety fluro orange suits and theire names player on the big screan and mentioned over the PA they start to think the game is about them and that when they make calls for the sake of making calls !!!!

Good umpires are the ones you don't notice. It's the dud decisions that make you look up to see which turkey called it. Ray Chamberlin is the best at calling out "look at me, look at me", but Brett Allen tends to be fairly noticable too.

More like they got lumped the role of the donkey in the preps nativity play and have been p1ssed ever since - is that a call of 'ball!' or 'encore!' - showponies!!
Graceful, elusive, strong overhead and no Easybeat!

Ill never forget "Whispers in the sky"
Fully deserved the Oscar, Kevin Bacon was brilliant as Tony Jones and what about Demi Moore's stunning performance as Matthew Head!

I'd rather have Julia Roberts for Head.

I agree with u there, BUT is it about being consitent with the frees in how they are awarded.
I dont care if they are soft or well earnt, as long as it is the same for both teams.

What garbage. Allen is easily the best and most impartial umpire running around. Which umpires do you prefer to him?
The Umpires I don't recognise..

not just the umps, but the wce have a huge VIC supporters base!
the whole behind the goals at the train station end will be dirty little wce fans!
"Another storied win in Robert Harvey's career. They say he is the embodiment of their motto of strength through loyalty, and on the day he became just the tenth man to play 350 league games the saints reward him with a seemingly impossible victory."
