Umpire farce - Getting worse by the minute!

The AFL is cheating the free stats again.
The numbers they gave at the 6 min remaining in the third indicated the cats had received 3 frees in the quarter.
*smile*
 
Watch Selwood the prick smash mansell in the head. In the background you can see that useless blonde umpire NOT EVEN WATCHING THE PLAY.

I retract. Initially thought he was a corrupt cheat influencing games for personal profit.

Now I know he's just a really really sh!t umpire.

Reckon the blonde ump is the worst in the league. How many throws did throwood get away with?

You could just see that umpire did not want to pay that Bolton free kick in the last quarter.

Actually think his view was blocked by another Richmond player. No other way to explain it.

Thought Mansell was OK up to that point but seemed to come unglued after the knock.

Yeah you are correct, and there was another umpire directly in front who SHOULD have called it.

I'm saying the blonde muppet was just strolling along watching the crowd.

Pathetic. Lazy umpiring. I hope the club is highlighting the treatment we get behind the scenes. They'd be seething

Dimma needs to say something.
 
So many throws. So many frees to selwood, so many frees against selwood not paid. And Stewart on the Dusty's mark? Total incompetence or bias, take your pick. That stuff should not be hard, 2 warnings, no movement, 50. Or am I taking crazy pills?

Anyone see Hawkins spike the ball into flossy face when ball was dead? Ump right there, nuthin.

They aren't the reason for the loss by any means, but geez they are making it hard.

So 8 rounds in and the Stand rule is about as strongly enforced as a federal government quarantine centre. The amount of allowed cribbing on the mark tonight was very plain to see.

I feel like we are called to play on so much quicker than our opposition.

A couple of times tonight we'd take a mark and almost instantly cop a play on.
