Round 4: the root canal games.

Surely the Bumwood v Borethorn game could have been pushed back a bit by the AFL and we played at Adelaide Oval as part of a double header - like they did yesterday ?

Oh that’s right. We have to **** Richmond over.

Forgot about that.

Jeremy Finlayson in a bit of trouble for making a homophobic slur to an Essendon player.
 
Did I just hear Dill the Dill admit that kick to Cottrell WAS touched!!!
Too late …. Surprised he didn’t suggest we need more field umpires
What about standing down the umps that then gave a free in front of goal for dissent

He said it all in a brazen way like it didn't affect a team winning. Umpteen times we hear the 'umpires were wrong' when it is all too late as if it doesn't matter. As bad as any weak apology nowadays.

What a fraud.

Problem is that if the maggots hadn't totally *smile* up by paying a mark to the Carlscum bloke off an obviously touched ball. Then there'd be no dissent to contend with in the first place.
It's nothing more than pathetic arse covering to rule the dissent free as a correct decision and thereby allocating Carlscum an extra goal plus another few seconds of time wastage. When the previous decision that allowed Carlscum the first shot at goal to hit the lead was so blatantly wrong.

I went against my better judgement & watched some of a couple of games in the last few days.
One thing I noticed was how many players were showing dissent & NOT ONE of them were penalised, NOT ONE, how then can the AFL justify that particular call.
How in hell can players know where they stand in regards to that "rule" when one umpire can take offence at something that another umpire lets go.

Absolute stupidity from an organisation that is expert in stupidity, mismanagement, inconsistency & sheer dumbness.

No wonder so many people are becoming pee'd off with our once fantastic game.

Gold Coasts VFL recruit Sam Clohessy looking like a natural AFL player already.
 
FMD so many goal reviews these goal umpires are incompetent
They stand underneath the ball and can’t figure out If it went through or not

Becoming ridiculous. Might as well get rid of them.

It’s a joke. Must be addressed.

If Uwland from the Suns didn't just throw the ball right in front of the umpire I'll stand *******.
He got spun around, had one arm held, and threw the ******* ball !!
