Pathetic. Just absolutely pathetic. Expect nothing less from that virgin O'Gorman.

Pretty sure we were up 8 frees to 7 at one stage and it ended 11 to 18. And that excludes the 5 or so 50s they got. Farcical. This was a perfect example of their 50-50 frees being paid to them and our 50-50s not. We get screwed all the time.

-HTB
-Incorrect disposal
-Deliberate OOB
-Protected area
-Interference( whatever you want to call it ) after a mark

We were playing against 25 players.

Been like this all year .

Umpire No. 10 was Brisbane's best player! He was blatantly inconsistent.

Never liked him no matter who is playing
Strikes me as having been a nerdy kid who played chess at school and never went near a footy field until he joined the umps
Has no feeling for the game - just learnt the rules off by heart from the book

Geez they were awful tonight.

There was a 50 paid against Lynch I think for who knows what - being present on the mark I suppose, barely a minute later Jack gets rolled over after marking the ball, no 50. They did pay one to Lynch which was real soft too but when they are that soft they become very inconsistent.

Didn't think it was possible but the holding the ball decisions were even worse than usual. Prior opportunity means more than a nanosecond before being tackled.

In the last quarter it really did look like the umpires were trying to get Brisbane back into the game.

But one of the worst was when the ball was kicked into our forward line, Lynch took possession and goaled, but, if you look at the play when the ball is coming in Higgins is being held, around the neck, before the ball gets there. Um, holding the man, high tackle anyone?

Disgraceful.

There was some trash decisions that went our way also that resulted in goals.

Dusty push in back on the 50
Jack jumping all over his opponent and wrapping both hands around - amazing miss by the umps
Lynch soft free when he missed the sitter

O’Gorman shafted us as expected but the others were just bad all around

The umpiring is so bad that you hope they bugger it up evenly for both sides
