Yep. Hometown decisions are 100% there. Even Vic teams get them against non-Vics.

Fairly consistent, equal umpiring performance all night across the two categories of ‘brutal‘ and ‘farcical‘. Nearly every single brutal call was followed up almost immediately with a farcical one, so the balance between the two categories was absolutely first class all night.
You have to win to publicly question umpires though, otherwise it’ll always, always, always look like sour grapes to the opposition no matter how justified you may be.

Its the only way they could beat us
11 goals for the game, 5 directly from the whistle from the turrdmuchers.
Blatant cheating.
Sydney got 7 goals with the assistance of a free kick.
Why is AFL the only sport these pricks can't be spoken about?
Im over this 'It harms others coming through the junior ranks'
Some of them earn 100k+, What occupation in the world aren't allowed to provide feed back?
I Thought Bannister was our worse umpire but today there is at least 5 that just absolutly bend us over.
The worse ones are Deboy, OGorman, Fleer, Gianfagna and Mollison.

I kept writing and thinking and texted last night
'this is a severe umpire shafting, even by Adelaide Oval standards'
but in the light of day, it was pretty standard stuff.
you've got to be 4-5 goals better to win there.
what puzzles me,
is why dont we get a 2:1 differential our way and get gifted 5 goals
when theres 70,000 of us screaming at The G.
we are more attractive as a species, but we are every bit as mental as Port Adelaidians

Bells are ringing, there is dancing in the streets as the Tigers get defeated 2 weeks in a row.
Can't wait to read it all, but no mention of the bending over by the umpires.
Robinson and Barratt will make sure we are gone for this year, have no depth, poor disposals, or whatever they can come up with.
Should be writing how is it that a team can only get 12 frees to 22 in a game.

I've come to the conclusion that umpires often don't pay what they see. Instead, they pay what they are looking for.
Last night, umpires were not looking for Port players dropping a hot potato in the tackle so they don't pay them. They weren't looking for Port player's falling into the back of their opponent so they don't blow for that. They weren't looking for a throw out of a tackle so they don't reward the tackler.
Tiger's over the past 4 years have developed a reputation as a side that infringes more than others. So that's what umpires are looking for. That's why we get shafted.
Most of the frees we give up are there.
It's the frees we don't get because the umpires are not looking for them that causes the discrepancy.

JJT it's certainly a puzzle. The 50 against Grimes is just bad umpiring though. He was already in the "protected area" when the mark was paid and ran straight out as he continued back towards goal, away from the player and out of the area without affecting the play at all. That's just *smile* umpiring.
Taz tells me one of the umps was 10-0 last night, I think we know which team got the 10
Can't possibly be holding the ball. The maggot obviously didn't call it, so therefore it wasn't.
Where’s the uproar on media socials about the goal Port was gifted after push in the back and Grey out of bounce??
I dont know his name, but I know exactly which little *smile* that was.
I'm still seething about last nights umpiring.
Sure there will always be a few dodgy calls and there has always been hometown decisions. Some of those frees against us weren't howlers, there was a genuine bias against us.
I always remembered the good players and good sides getting the rub of the green with the umpires, that is not the case with us, and hasn't been for a few years.

It’s pretty hard to follow a game that you think is weighted unfairly. I’ve tuned out a bit the past couple of weeks. Apathy ahead of anger for me.
One of the newbies I think Nigel got tackled and face planted into the turf.
Ball up.
Doesn't that qualify as a dangerous tackle?
The governing body The AFL Aka:
The Gestapo
Corruption Central
Gilquarters
Is destroying the game. Making it up as they go along.
Rules on the fly.
Rules 5 minutes before the season start.
Ridiculous rules. Like the sub getting credited a game despite 0 touches.
And the interpretation of the rules.
Love how they jump in next morning to say Yeah we got that one wrong, too bad you lost.
And everyone lauds The Fuhrer for what a great job he is doing.
At this point I will end my rant and go for a lie down.
Go Tiges!
