At the local footy today and 15 minutes into the first quarter, I hear the ump say “if you blokes dont stop *smile* sooking , your not going to have a *smile* umpire” :eek::))

Getting comprehensively outplayed but wouldn't it be nice to get the same frees that our opponents get.

Just once.

We are umpired differently

*smile* me, I missed the first half but the umpires were red hot against the tigers in the second half. I don't know if it was the tigers being undisciplined or not. Tomlinson's blocking was out of control, umpires picked us up for blocking though.

what interested me the most tonight was what I thought I heard. The footy was *smile*.
Are the umpires getting live feedback from the stands? I heard, "pay that, pay it" when the ball was deemed deliberately out of bounds in the second quarter. I felt it was a mic to the ump, but surely I'm hearing things.

Only lost the frees by 7, that's an improvement overall.
Like many players have noted, it's the frees they DON'T pay that crucify us.

Never seen so much blocking on Jack. Tomlinson wasn't even trying to hide it at the end. Nothing.

Both of them. Jack and lynch were continually blocked illegally all night and constantly pushed out the contest, many times in the back.
They just kept on doing it because they could

Lever had one where he marked it. Both hands in I think Lynchs back, Lynch was left hunched over he was pushed that much. Mark to Lever.

It was evident at the ground too what they were trying to do, but we don't help ourselves by not seperating them. We'd be much better if they had 1 on 1 contests instead of being held out by their man so a 3rd man up can come in and take the mark.

Apart from Pickett's high hit when he ran the length the ground to try to stop Melbourne scoring.
I thought they weren't that bad.
Hocking has 100% told them to bend us over, but you can't blame umpires when you cant move in the forward line.
Compare Melbourne's forward line to ours.
Ours is always flinders st @5pm and Melbourne's more like 2pm on a Sunday.
Rioli, Castagna and Aarts aren't playing there roles correctly.
Either they are in the forward 50 crumbling the ball or running inside 50.
They were all over the shop last night.
