It’s the ones they miss as well. We pinned them multiple times for holding the ball but got nothing and then they got the goal from Gray

Deliberate out of bounds against us, Broad, being tackled and handballs to a team mate. Free Port.
Rushed behind, minute to go not being tackled, clean and clear possession. Funking crickets.......
He hand balled it past 3 tigersand 2 power players. *smile*!
I feel we were cheated, actually cheated by umpire 11.

It needs someone in the media to point out repeatedly and loudly that some teams are favoured by the umpires and others aren’t. If they don’t have the spotlight in them and feel pressured they don’t do anything.

Umpired by Curly, Larry and Moe...again.
Farcical, but let’s have another rule change even though umpires still can’t get the basics right.

Gets worse every week. This is no coincidence it’s the campaigners at headquarters for sure. No.11 is a massive campaigner - continually *smile* us over

I have finally given up on trying to work out why a free is given for a particular foul for one team and an identical foul against another team in the same match is waved play on. The umps seem to have unusual interpretations based on bias

Still seething.

I generally feel sympathy for the umpires - the AFL changes rules so often, relying on 'interpretations' it's a very hard game to adjudicate.

But not tonight. The exact same scenario is a free to Port, and play on for us. Blatant obvious frees ignored.

The club needs to make a stand. Curtis DeBoy influenced the result of that game.

Never been so pissed off at an umpiring display and i’ve been watching for a few decades now. And the fact that the commentators often call the ones the opposition don’t get but are silent on ours *smile* me to death.

and how the *smile* was that goal in the allowed when clear push in the back to Broad and then clearly over the boundary by Grey.

Was glad to see Mollison/Fleer/Foot out of the way tonight. But we ended up with the matchwinner Curtis Deboy, in front of his home crowd.
The Deboy prophecy. Surely he’s taking the *smile*?
And it was this cretin that didn’t have the balls to pay the deliberate at the end. But he did pay the deliberate against Balta on the wing. He obviously moved himself to the port backline for the last 4 minutes.
