There’s almost a refusal to pay us a holding the ball, and if it is paid, it’s never on our forward line. Easton Wood - first quarter. Holding the ball in our fwd line. Classic example. Shocking umpiring. Watching the replay after being at the game. Geez even the commentators called it out.

Did we get a free inside our forward 50 tonight ?
Bulldogs 2 , Richmond 0.

How was that tackle by Rioli on Monica Lipinsky early in the 3rd quarter not paid as holding the ball ? Ffs. Just outright cheating this stuff. Rhylee West - “should have been pinged - lucky” but of course it was on our forward line so it’s never gonna be paid. And on and on...

Dogs fans musta lost it last night. All swung around after half time and we got a barrage of frees. But HTB is the big one, we just dont get em. The Lipinsky one JHFC I LOST IT!

Having rewatched the match .... I gotta say, that for a bloke who played at the highest level. .... Leigh Fisher should hand his whistle in. Zero feel for the game and a complete non-decision maker in the clinch moments!
The non holding the ball decisions on both Wood and Cordy were disgraceful.

Probably in most games i have seen the tiges have had the rough end of the pineapple.\

As a neutral observer, i think last night ( overall) you had the rub of the green.

That female ump and her voice, taking voice lessons from Kellie Underwood!!

+4 while neither here nor there is a great result for us. 8th time in 77 games since the 2017 GF v 35 times against. Even if some were useless like the one right on the quarter time bell, a couple of 'advantage' calls or the couple they pulled back which were actually disadvantages. The one to Grimes against Bruce on the last line comes to mind, we were away.

There ya go, with 12 mins to go in the GC v Collingwood game Burgess is tackled straight away after taking the ball. He’s been given plenty of time to get rid of it then is penalised for “no genuine attempt”. Like Easton Wood last night (except Woods disposal was incorrect too)

Fair call i reckon. Doesn't happen often, and never happens against the dogs. Miracle really

They still *smile* ed us.
Yep it’s where they pay them. Oppo gets them in an advantageous position for goal and we get them in the back line if we’re lucky. We rarely get them in the forward line. Tom and Jack get jack and we couldn’t get obvious HTB decisions in our forward line last night.

I said in the game day thread, it is unfair on everyone, including her, that she is doing AFL games and probably on the panel. She is substandard every week.

She made some deadset obvious howlers all night, the Aarts holding the ball, the West one, Cotchin dived on it at one stage, the Bontempelli one on quarter time.
I can think of a few that are worse. DeBoy Ogorman and that little blonde guy for starters.

The Easton-Wood one was a real 50/50, what s***s me is the way they will pay the exact same thing seconds later.

Make up yer bloody minds.

Nice way to wake up on a Sunday morning and read that the Cats have been rolled with controversy umpiring playing its part, nice also to see Port go down :))
