Some of the non-calls were just as bad.
No 50m penalty against Tom Stewart for CLEARLY running through the mark of Lynch and DIRECTLY in front of the umpire was diabolical.

Did anyone else hear Weakley on SEN this morning say that that was a good "non decision, because we don't want to see those decisions changing a game". I thought, what the hell sort of idiot are you, it's a RULE OF THE GAME, you can't just ignore it because it suit s your agenda.
I wonder what his thoughts would be if Selduck wasn't paid free for around the neck, for the same reason.

He is an absolute wood duck. I might have to call him Gerard Wooduckley for now on.

Did Mince Whately mention Stagerfield’s dive and subsequent *smile* 50m penalty which took a maximum 50% chance at a goal to 100%?

Bet he didn’t.............

How about Razor’s decision to call a push in the back on Diver Miers when we surging in the 3rd quarter. Cost us a goal and it was as soft a decision as you’d ever see. It wasn’t even in the back, it was in the side.

Untouchable Ablett was given an eternity to get rid of this one with a grubber kick. after trying to break the tackle.

That one really hacked me off. Any other player would have been done for holding the ball, Gaz Jr gets given time to dispose of it. Not just in this game, he’s been given that sort of latitude for years.

Geez GWS are getting completely and utterly smashed by the maggots, it is disgusting to watch.

Collingwood, the umpires' faves, are getting an amazing ride from the idiots.

Was that the one that went through to Lambert who would have had a shot on goal from dead in front?

Umpires reminded me of a meatloaf song

Two out of three ain’t bad

Leave you to decide who was the odd one out
