Sides dominate for years and umpires look after them. Richmond have a moment in the sun? Let’s change the rules and slide a good 12 inch up the clacker. Let’s just win again and *smile* em all.

Even the boundary umpire is in on the take! Ok he wasn't on the line, but he was only a few metres away and it was out by at least a foot!
Everybody, and what has our club done to cop this? Every other successful club over the last 20 years have been a adulated. Us, screwed, and after almost 40 years of *smile* with no help from anyone in the game other than ourselves.
Us against the rest.
Just said to my mate the sooner Benny Gale takes over the AFL the better even though it’d be a great loss to the club.

It easy to be one eyed but even a blind man could see the blatant umpire bias.

If the bias wasn't obvious enough, they manage to pay exactly the same decision two different ways both favouring Port in the matter of one minute.

Dustin Martin get's held before taking possession and it's holding the ball. Within a minute, but Rozee in less of a tackle from Grimes gets he free kick when he had possession. You couldn't make this sh!te up!

I am totally bewildered. Even my son text me and asked if I was watching.. AFL is a joke.. It's not Football as I played it as a kid. And if the AFL says I haven't grown with the game. I say *smile*.. Why did the game have to change ? They own it ??? Give me a break

Blatant cheating.

The umpires are destroying the game.

The reamed Essendon last night, they have reamed us 2 weeks in a row now, there are clear agendas at play.

In saying that.. I like the way our boys are lifting to the conditions
