Umpire farce - Getting worse by the minute!

Umpires are in baby blue today. As stupid as they look, I’m glad. In the past, the idiots in charge have had them wearing yellow in tigers/ hawks games
 
Sssssh - don’t tell anyone but we won the free kick count today - love the blue

The Hawks fans at the G were carrying on like they were being crucified by the umps in the second half.

We won the free kick count 25 - 22 and I didnt think there were any particular howlers
 
We won the free kick count? Wow!

I must say I didn’t think the umpiring was at it’s usual terrible level today.

We were well down for frees at half time so I understand why a one-eyed Hawk supporter would believe that to be the case in the 2nd half.
 
Thought that overall the standard of umpiring was in line with the standard of the game

Power, Dalgleish and Johanson are the umpires for our game tomorrow. In other news, our old mate Rob O'Gorman survived getting dropped after his howler non-decision costing Brisbane the game against the Cats. He gets to torture the Giants and Dees fans on Sunday!
 
we were flogged by Sydney fair and square. But these jokers were taking the *smile*.

Agree, from what I saw we were shithouse, but 25-15 doesnt help, nor do things like the Nankervis non-mark, and seeing something ignored for a Richmond player, but effusively paid the other way. It really burns when MMM commentators say the game was well adjudicated.
