About time we stood up for ourselves

Post: # 1868336Post Enrico_Misso »

The umpiring tonight was an absolute and total f****** disgrace.

We have been shafted before.
And we will be shafted again unless we take a stand.

There must have been 20 or more dodgy decisions that went against us tonight, including some absolute totally inexplicable ones that cost goals.

Put a montage of them together and DEMAND an explanation.

The constant infringements on Max King that rarely ever get paid are starting to really bug me.......

The fact that some on here will say Oscar Allen’s was a free but will say King wasn’t infringed is a joke

Agreed but King had his chances. Kick them and umps dont matter.

Give him a free directly in front no issue

Yeah, the umps weren't great (They rarely are) but we only have ourselves to blame for that.

We don't take advantage of our opportunities, and can't stop the opposition once they build up some momentum

This . 8 scoring shots to 3 in the first quarter for a 4 point lead. P is more finger pointing / deflecting accountability from the true cause of our failure.

The Brad Hill free against is doing the rounds as the softest and worst free of all time. The Oscar Allen one was far worse.

Those 2 free kicks were a disgrace.

I was very surprised at the free paid to Allen. They never pay those at that stage of a game. It was very strange.

When we got eight points up they paid two deliberates and the free to Allen to give them the lead.

I thought those looked deliberate. Just unlucky.

Young forwards always get a raw deal in their first few years I think the refs have 'ignore the new kid on the block' rule in their descion making.

King gets mauled at times. The amount of times he's also illegally blocked from going for the ball that is infuriating.

His time will come though. I have no doubt.

The free kicks were about 10 to 3 in our favour at one stage and I reckon the umpires must have been told. After that WC starting to get plenty of free kicks and the ones we were getting early disappeared. It was a total 180 at that stage from the umpires. I don't want to look at the replay but someone needs to.

Yep. We got nothing in the last quarter. And the amount of times they just dropped the ball and we got nothing was terrible too.

I have read that passage from the bible.....The Book of Ratten ...Revelations I think..

“And woe to the team whose cup runneth over too early in the season and whose shots at goal shall be cast aside via some mystical being with players with sh!t brains making dumb decisions whilst going forward....”
